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

Noodies - Vodka rigatoni - Gelato Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

See all

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

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

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. And the chocolate and mascarpone gelato was the perfect way to finish the meal. Definitely a spot worth checking out for a quick bite or takeout. 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

Noodies - Vegan special for September. Was much better once the missing sage was added. Still missing toasted almonds. - Gelato Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We've been here for ice cream before and now decided to try their pasta and food menu. It did not disappoint! The pasta I had was a true delicious comfort meal and my husband's meatball sub was huge and equally delicious. The service was as friendly as before and you can't beat the fun environment. 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

We ordered the Vodka sauce on rigatoni and the grinder sandwich. Both good. People we were with said their pasta was not fully cooked, still crunchy. We also got the gelato swirl pistachio and strawberry. Also very good. Service was pretty quick even though it was really busy. It's a pretty small location and seating can be limited but overall good experience. Ate so fast only got pictures of gelato read more

Very fresh, delicious homemade pasta and sauces served quickly. If you're looking for a dining experience this is probably not for you, but if you want quality pasta that is delicious and quick. Eat in or take out you won't be disappointed. Their Gelato is also very good. read more

You walk in and order right away. They have a set menu with a few things, which is so lovely because you know they're so confident that they do them well. I got the noodles with vodka sauce, sausage, and burrata. It didn't take long at all after ordering to get my order, it's a cute place with outdoor seating. read more

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

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! All the noodle dishes looked amazing. I had a Caesar Salad and earl grey gelato. Both were delicious! Their dessert case looked awesome too. I will be back to try their noodles. 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

Noodies is my go to for pasta and it doesn't hurt that they have incredible gelato! The staff are fantastic, the food top notch, and they keep staple menu items while adding monthly and weekly new items to keep it fresh. The bolognese with rigatoni and burrata on top is my go to, but you can't go wrong with any of their menu options! read more

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've only been here a couple times and the pasta I got was really good, the noodles were cooked really well and the sauce taste good. It's pretty cute on the inside and kept up with. 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. Recommend going if you're wanting Italian but something more chill. They have weekly flavors for gelato i think it is and it's super delicious as well!!! 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.

Came here after being in the area. Located in Downtown Tucson, near UA. Delicious! Ordered the rigatoni with vodka sauce. Came with soft bread. Sauce had mild spice, but there are plenty of red and white sauces, and pastas to choose from. Service was fast. I ordered at the counter, and brought the food to me. Pretty quick for a semi-busy place. Ambiance is relatively well done, as well. All in all, a good pasta joint. read more

The service was great! Very friendly and accommodating. Came on a Wednesday afternoon. Wasn't too busy. The reason why it has three stars is the food... I was really looking forward to trying this place because of association with Ceres... Maybe I got something wrong idk ugh. But what I got was soooooo salty. It was pretty much inedible. I felt like there wasn't a lot of vodka sauce. I'll have to come again and try something else. read more

The vodka sauce with burrata...is THE. BEST. The vodka sauce has just the right amount of heat. The serving size feels large, too! I always have left overs. And then to top it off, every week they have a speciality gelato you can get after your meal. I also love that you can order at the counter. It's just a nice comfortable vibe. Highly recommend! read more

3.5- 4 stars Food was good but overpriced for the amount of pasta you get. Staff were great and very helpful and friendly. They were also wonderful about splitting an order between two kids. There is a kids corner to keep the littlest busy. Wish they had a booth for more than 4. A bottled soda is four dollars. A pesto with fettuccine is $13, tomato basil $11,, the special for September tortellini was $15 and gelato is four dollars. Major advantage is location to the U of A and the fabulous staff! read more

Good job on the red sauce. Our group enjoyed our dishes. Service was good. Staff was nice.

Such a cute little place close to campus! The parking lot is small and awful to get in and out of, but the food is yummy. Staff are nice and I love how you can pair whichever sauce you want with whichever kind of pasta. They also have different pasta specials and weekly icecream flavors. My favorite is the birthday cake. I got the vodka pasta sauce and it was good but I think it could use a little more flavor. Love that they give you a slice of focaccia bread too!! read more

Found hair in our food! My boyfriend and I came here for an early dinner & we saw hair in our food. I just took mine out but my boyfriend found 2 in his. I ate mine and he went to ask for another & if he could change the sauce too since he also didn't like the sauce he picked. The way they handled it seemed like we were making it up lol but they made us a new pasta at least. When she gave it to our table, she looked at us, didn't say anything, & walked away. Just a weird experience but I'm glad I took a picture before lol read more

Delish. Been wanting to go here and finally made it. I'll b bk. Was so good.i had cannolis and the gelato.

Food was hot and fresh. Pasta tender, served with focaccia bread, was good. Meatball subs were ok, meatballs tender, a little salty. Wasn't impressed with the sauce. Watery and soaked through my bun. No forks for sandwich eaters and I guess they expected us to share a napkin. Tips are not optional and 15% is lowest option for counter service. Help does bring the food, but the tables were not mopped down after previous customers. Ok for a quick pasta fix, but not worth going out of your way. read more
