    Gluten free rice noodles with the primavera sauce + shrimp (mine) Spicy Cajun pasta + chicken (his)
    Sarah G.

    I was so surprised at this place!! I've seen them in a lot of cities but never thought to stop in due to my gluten and dairy allergies!! Y'all -- they have everything on the menu labeled with what can and cannot be made gluten free or vegan!! I got the primavera with gluten free rice noodles and it was FIRE!! Some of the yummiest sauce I've ever had! No dairy (they did bring me cheese in a side container despite having my order marked as a dairy allergy -- but it was on the side) Husband got the normal spicy cajun pasta w chicken and said he wanted to lick the plate!! Staff was nice and very quick!! The seating is pretty spread out and the music is bumpin! We will SO be back!!

    I am at the Yelp elite event. Everything I had was good. My favorite is the fettuccini Alfredo. The homemade ranch dressing was the bomb. Chicken Parmesan was really good as well. The salads were really good. The staff was excellent and the place is really nice inside, there is outside patio dining. The atmosphere is made nice by the music that is played. Listening to I'm every woman right now. Earlier they played a medley to Tina Turner.

    Kid's Alfredo with extra sauce.
    Krista M.

    The Kid's Alfredo was really good. We paid for the extra Alfredo, so that might have put it over the top and gave us a great dipping sauce for the Breadsticks that we ordered on the side. One of my kids is on a Creamy Tomato Soup kick. This one was very expensive and was heavy on the garlic. I'm going to try to salvage it with heavy cream tomorrow. That's not what you want to do with a $13 bowl of soup that you had delivered. The Triple Chocolate Cake looks great. It's being saved for tomorrow, so I can't comment on the taste.

    Mushroom ravioli

    I really love the food here and the atmosphere is good too! The chili maze soup is one of my favorites and the mushroom ravioli is always a good hit. They always take out or add stuff I want in my orders which is really nice.

    Mozzarella Cheese Bread
    Jada C.

    The quality of the food is not as good as I would have liked but it's still tasty enough to somewhat enjoy. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how spacious the restaurant is. There weren't a lot of people inside and we didn't have to wait in line but we went on a Tuesday at 5pm. I like that once you order up front they have an open kitchen so you can watch them make your food. Service was very friendly. Lots of parking available around the restaurant and there's outdoor seating. Pricing is reasonable for portion size. The amount my husband got in his Chicken Parmesan was much heavier than my lobster ravioli. Probably wouldn't go back.

    Stuffed shells
    Whattajewell C.

    The food was tasty!! I got stuffed shells and my friend got Alfredo. It was good and piping hot too!! It was a bit pricey.

    Lobster Ravioli Specialty with Breadstick
    Jalynn M.

    First time going and really I wasn't impressed; but the meal was somewhat manageable I ordered the lobster ravioli with bread stick, it had too much cheese and not enough ravioli for $16. The ravioli was a bit tough could not taste the lobster a lot but the sauce was flavorful, at the least would definitely go back but for something else.

    Seriously, how sweet can you all be?
    Alexia J.

    Wait, Nothing But Noodles did a small gesture that made all of the difference for me tonight. I have not been feeling well, nor eating, but I randomly had a taste for my Spicy Cajun Pasta so I decided to order it even if I couldn't eat it once it got to me. I placed an order online for my little sister and myself and put a note in to make my food with love because I'm sick and this is all I want :(. My sister went to pick it up and spoke of how speedy, great and nice the staff was and how they gave her well wishes (thinking she was me). She dropped my order off to me and to my surprise there was a desert inside with a note saying, "We hope you feel better soon. With love from The Nothing But Noodles family." This has been an extremely rough few days medically (not covid related thank God) and I feel like I just received a huge hug from the Nothing But Noodles team. Something so small just put the biggest smile on my face and made my entire night. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness did not go unnoticed. I thoroughly appreciate all of you! Btw, I ate a couple of bites of my pasta and it tastes amazing!

    Shanghai Noodles were very impressive (spicy/sweet with the peppers and pineapple)

The restaurant is located in the downtown Birmingham area and there's lots of street parking and a pay lot about a block away. They do not offer valet service, but this wasn't a big deal on this particular weekday evening. We were promptly seated by the host who was stationed outside. Water arrived and shortly thereafter our server, Marco, appeared. She was very friendly and gave us a quick run down of the menu offerings and answered any questions we had without hesitation. We started with the arancini, and for entrees chose the rainbow trout with seasonal vegetables and the tagliatelle al funghi. Everything was super fresh and delicious. Nothing to complain about this experience. It checks all the important boxes... good food, friendly service and an inviting atmosphere.

We ordered the house wine, Caesar salad, spaghetti and meatballs, and the Garganelli with asparagus (plus added shrimp). Since it was such a beautiful day, we sat out on the patio, which I didn't even realize they had! The service was stellar, the food was delicious, and we left completely full. They also offer complimentary valet, which is always a nice bonus with downtown traffic and parking. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

There was a bit of a wait before my order was taken, but honestly, it worked out in my favor because it gave me plenty of time to look over the menu. There were so many tempting options that it was honestly hard to decide! I ultimately chose three items and enjoyed a few bites of each. Ham & Fontina Scone: This was my first time trying a scone, and I was pleasantly surprised. The texture reminded me of a dry biscuit, but the ham added a delicious savory flavor that I really enjoyed. Frittata Plate: The frittata was SO good! It wasn't too dry, and all of the flavors worked really well together. It was served with polenta, which reminded me of really fine grits, along with fruit. After trying it, I realized that one entrée would definitely be enough for me to enjoy on its own. Breakfast 'ZA: This was essentially a breakfast pizza topped with a fried egg, and the egg was such a nice touch. The 'ZA itself was really good, although I think adding something similar to a gravy or sauce would make it a little less dry. Even without it, though, the fried egg really took it to another level. Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso: I decided to try the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso, which was the barista's pick. This was my first time having a shaken espresso, and I'm so glad I gave it a try! It was refreshing and perfect for a hot day. The inside of Trattoria ZaZa is nice, although it is somewhat small, so I opted to sit outside. It was a very warm day, but the awning provided plenty of shade and made the outdoor seating comfortable. I also appreciated that, even though the restaurant doesn't have traditional table service, someone periodically checked on me to make sure I didn't need anything else. Overall, I had a great brunch experience at Trattoria ZaZa. There were plenty of menu options, the food was flavorful, and I really enjoyed trying a few things that were new to me. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying more of the menu!

Since the kitchen is completely open and visible to guests, I think extra attention should be given to sanitation and overall presentation. I noticed one of the cooks drinking while preparing food, and another wiped his nose with his arm while working. Although he didn't use his hand, it still left me feeling a little uneasy. When guests can see directly into the kitchen, those small details really matter. Aside from that, we enjoyed our experience, and I do think this is a place worth trying at least once. The atmosphere, service, and recommendations from our server were definitely highlights of our visit.
