Heard a lot of good things about this place so decided to try it out and instantly got hooked! Any and every menu item is delicious, our personal favorites are the nasty cat sandwich and cacio e pepe. But we also really enjoy their monthly specials. Every month usually features new menu items and collabs with other local businesses. Another cool (pun intended) part about Noodies is their gelato. They have different flavors featured every week so I recommend following their instagram to keep updated - you might get lucky and be able to buy a pint if you find that flavor in their little freezer tho! Beware the parking lot is small and inside is a little small too with a few booths and long table in the middle. This place also gets REALLY busy on weekend evenings during the school year since it is just right by the college lol read more

I'm not a huge pasta person but this place might just change my mind! I like that they have a few choices of types of pasta as well as sauces, so that it isn't as overwhelming as some restaurants that have pages and pages of menu items. It makes it very clear and easy to order. I had the cacio e pepe sauce with the fettuccine pasta. I also added chicken. Of course I could not resist trying the soft serve gelato, which is a different flavor every week. I can definitely tell that the pasta is freshly made there. When dining in there's also a cute area for kids to play in which is a bonus for families with young people. I'll definitely be back on those rare occasions when I just want a nice, fresh bowl of pasta. read more

I've seen this place for a while but haven't had time to stop in. My teens like to giggle at the name ‍ Came here with the family for dinner on a Sunday. We ordered three different pasta and sauce combos and my son got the meatball sub. We also got a swirled gelato to share. All the food was tasty. Appreciate how things are made in house and you can taste the difference between the pasta here versus a chain like the Olive Garden. The staff were kind and there was ample seating inside. Their private parking lot makes parking easier since it's so close to campus and has limited street parking. read more

Such a cute spot for a casual meal or just a cup of their soft serve gelato! Staff helped me immediately and food comes out quickly. Came for dinner on a Sunday and was able to grab a booth no problem! read more

My hubby and I tried Noodies over at 1730 E. Speedway. He got the vodka pasta with chicken and I got the collab dish between #cookingwithcort and Noodies of Mac & Cheese w collard greens with smoked turkey it was pretty good ..FLAVOR!!!. A different take on Mac . I was full for the whole day it was around $30. The collab thing is pretty cool I plan to check out some other's around town. ‍ the service was great and the ambiance was nice. read more

Let me start by saying that the food and the service are amazing here. Vodka rigatoni was superb, with a hint of spiciness. Linguine bolognese was fantastic. Gelato is amazing as well. However, the place is not clean. Only one table in the whole restaurant was clean. The floors look like they haven't been cleaned in ages and it was extremely cold in the restaurant (according to the thermostat it was 69 degrees) We ended up sitting outside at yet another dirty table, but the weather was great so it made it a better experience. read more

We initially had issues with trying to park. The restaurant's lot is on a busy street and has a dedicated exit and entrance. Someone was exiting via the entrance and we couldn't stop to wait due to traffic, so we had to circle the block. We were then able to park, though some signs seemed to reference another restaurant (?). Maybe it is the former name of this place. We asked them before ordering if it was their parking lot and they confirmed. You order at a counter, then find a table and wait for your number to be called. I think they had both a large above-counter menu sign and printed versions. There is a short divider / rope line that is intended to allow a line on one side and foot traffic on the other, but it isn't clear and people queue up on either side. Everyone found something they wanted (we all got noodles and split a salad). Pizza was another option, I think. They have a large jar / tank of water and plastic cups next to it, so you serve yourself. The food came out fairly quickly and was good. They claim the pasta is made fresh daily, and it did taste like it was. The portions were surprisingly big too. Prices were reasonable. We had arrived around 5:30 p.m. on a Friday and by the time we finished (probably a bit after 6 p.m.) there were no seats left. They have a lot of booths, some counter seats at the windows, and a large communal table in the center. I don't know what it is like the rest of the week, but Friday night was packed. It appeared popular with U of A students, as it is on campus. I'd return here for a meal if I were in the area. read more

Hands down one of my favorite spots in Tucson! I love the food so much, the vodka sauce is my favorite! It's a casual spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Noodies is always top on my recommendation list for good, quality Tucson bites! read more

I have been eyeing this place since moving here 10 months ago and can't believe it took me this long to give it a try! My daughter wanted pasta so naturally this is the first place that came to mind. Fresh, handmade pasta in Tucson! I had the vodka sauce with fusilli. Pasta was perfectly cooked. The sauce was flavorful with a little kick. I wish I had added Italian sausage after seeing it on someone else's plate! We also tried the Cacio e Pepe with fettuccini. My daughter loved it. I snuck a bite and really liked it, too. To top it all off, of course we had to try their rotating gelato flavors. We were lucky to have 2 flavors that were hard to choose between (later realized we could have mixed them - great idea). The flavors were cheesecake and cookie butter. We went with cookie butter and they really nailed the flavor. I also wish we had added some toppings but I wanted to try it as is for my first visit. So tasty. Excited to come back for different flavors! Lastly, the vibe and ambiance was great. Not too busy, cool decor, it's got that Italian feel. LOVED that they have a small kids area with books and a few toys. It's small, but a little goes a long way with little ones. Always appreciated as a mom! Overall, a great experience and I can't wait to go back and try more. read more

Okay this is on the level of Jon & Vinny's-if you're from LA! Delicious home made noodles and perfectly made sauce! The vodka sauce was so good, but a bit too spicy for me-still delicious - but glad to have a bite of mozzarella afterwards. I personally did bucatini noodles with Cacio e Pepe! So good. Was so tempted to get a sandwich but was told I gotta get the pasta! (I will be back for the sandwich!) Yes- worth coming here and the seating is no frills casual and w/kids play area. You order first and they bring to you. So that's a bit more casual than the service of J&V's. It's up there with the other Pasta place I rated near downtown off Congress. Dee-lish! read more

Noodies - Quick fresh pasta! - Gelato Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Pasta made the way YOU like it ! The owners of Ceres have yet another great food experience for us . Noodies was able to customize everything I ordered to be vegan . They have several options . The tomato basil sauce is delicious ! I love that their portions aren't outta control and you wont leave feeling stuffed and bloated. They make fresh pasta in house and you can taste the passion in every bite . Plenty of gelato and dessert to choose from. ( no vegan desserts )This is a low key casual type of dining . Don't forget to grab some cute swag in the way out . read more

Cute place with fun changing gelatos and sorbets and housemade pasta. My experience dining here was disappointing though. I came in especially for a special they advertised for the month of September, a day before the last day they said it would be available. I ordered and paid but when I got it it looked different and seemed boring comparing to what I expected. So I looked online and realized that two ingredients that made this special dish exciting for me were missing (fried fresh sage leaves and toasted almonds). When I inquired about the missing sage and almonds I was told they were out of them and didn't want to acquire more since the special is close to ending. This was strange to me as they still were selling it without mentioning this so I can decide if I still want it. They did put a sign after I already ordered saying out of almonds. I was surprised to not be notified that they were missing ingredients for what I ordered and don't feel that it's a fair way to treat customers. They did end up finding that they had sage and added that for me. The person at the front didn't seem like they understood why I would want to receive what I ordered as described but they did refund me when I requested which I appreciated. The dish was fairly boring without the crispy fried sage but once the sage was added it was much more interesting. I can see how the almonds would have added some interesting texture too. Food was decent but I was not impressed by the business practice of not letting customers know they will not receive what they ordered and paid for. On a more positive note, I have had their sorbet soft serves a bunch of times and enjoyed them. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite! read more

We've been here for ice cream before and now decided to try their pasta and food menu. It did not disappoint!

Just beware of the tight parking. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect, but heard this was a great place to go for fresh pasta. Noodies didn't disappoint! The restaurant is relatively small, but had enough seating space to handle the volume of customers on a Saturday evening. The staff was friendly and while it looks a little older of a place, it was clean. They pasta was really good! We tried 2 types of sauce and were also happy with that. I added Italian sausage and meatballs, forgetting that I got the bolognese meat sauce to start with, so I over ordered! lol. The meatballs appeared really dry, but they were really very tasty! They also have soft serve gelato- but the flavors are very limited and we didn't feel like what they had that night; got a cookie instead. They also have subs and some other items. They also have wine and sodas by the can. Definitely glad we tried them out. Would repeat again, so check them out! read more

Noodies was a great find. The pasta tasted fresh and really well made. The caprese sandwich was also excellent...the focaccia was soft, and perfect for it.

Noodies - Burrata and sausage with noodles - Gelato Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The food is good and the Gelato flavors are inventive. Unfortunately the last few times we visited, there were issues with attention to detail: they ask which pasta form you'd like but serve a different pasta; we got a takeout order of the chicken cutlet special and they left out the chicken, just gave a serving of linguine. We don't ask for modifications and we tip 30-40% every time. Disappointed. read more

The pasta and sauce dishes we tried here were delicious. Had cacio e pepe with bucatini, simple perfection. The bolognese sauce with fettuccini also tasty. The French vanilla gelato was smooth and extraordinarily good. So happy to discover this fresh cooking here in Tucson. Hoping for an additional location in NW. I'd wish for a bit of trattoria style but this dining area is welcoming. read more

After eating dinner at Seasons Eats nearby, I walked over here to get some soft-serve gelato for dessert. They had two flavors (they rotate): Oreo and peanut butter. I got the Oreo flavor on a cone ($4.50). It was better than Dairy Queen but not as good as regular gelato. There was a short wait in line to order. read more

This small noodle joint is located off Speedway near Campbell. Parking can be tight so beware if you drive a large vehicle. This place was busy when I stoped by for lunch and I can see why!

I was craving Cacio e Pepe so I decided to try Noodies. The service was quick but do keep in mind that there's a fairly limited menu and it's designed as a quick eatery. I also ordered a salad and while both were enjoyable, I do think that the pricing is a bit high for what you get. read more

I didn't get much service I just ordered and the person taking my order didn't seem to really care just wanted to get there day over with which I came in a while back so who knows if that person even works there still.

Have you seen those videos of the Italian Chef making pasta sauce from a big wheel of cheese? Well when I see that I imagine it taste like noodles Cacio e PePe. The fettuccine is thin and chewy- made exactly like homemade, authentic pasta from Italy should taste. I lived in Italy for 7 years- and this was just as good as anything I've had in Italy. Gelato is not as authentic, but you go for the pasta..get the gelato because it's convenient . read more

Not the best experience at Noodies. The cashier said something broke down in the back so there was a long wait for the food. The noodles were undercooked and the sauce was extra salty. I will try again because I've heard great things and this was a one-off bad experience. It's a cute place with a cental location to the UA. read more

Pretty quick for a semi-busy place. Ambiance is relatively well done, as well. All in all, a good pasta joint. read more
