Noodies

My new favorite restaurant! I literally go every week just for their different gelato flavors. The staff is so so nice and your order comes out under 10 minutes!! Highly recommend if you want good, quality pasta and even a sweet treat or a fun drink. Their prices are very affordable, especially for the serving size! 10/10

I love noodies!! My favorite is the vodka sauce really with any of their pastas. I will get the bread and clean up the sauce with it. It’s that good. My favorite gelato is the roasted banana with Nutella and roasted hazelnuts. My favorite special definitely is the birria with elote topping. Another favorite is the vodka fries. Thank you Noodies for the fresh pasta and sauces you make! They are a family favorite here!

Some of my favorite pasta and gelato in tucson! Plus the employees are always top notch and it is so cute inside. highly recommend the vodka sauce and whatever the rotating flavor is!

Fresh made pasta dishes, sandwiches, salads, and fries with vegetarian, and vegan options. Rotating gelato flavors for dessert. Drink options include canned or bottled soda, some beer, and canned cocktails. I got the Vodka Rigatoni with meatballs. Mine was good and sauce was rich. Some red pepper spice to the sauce. Meatballs were moist and decently flavorful. Wife got a special birria elote pasta. The birria pasta sauce was moderately spicy, corn was fresh, and meat pretty good. Overall a decent experience and decent meal. And the fresh pasta is a definite bonus. Would've wished it came with some bread or a side salad with the pasta tho.

One of my favorite places in Tucson- consistently amazing food and good portion sizes. Recommend the vodka fries and pesto sauce. Watching for their weekly gelato flavors (at both Noodies and their sister shop Ceres) is the singular reason I have an instagram account.

I've gone to Noodies quite a few times since they opened, and every time has been amazing! The food, the staff, the vibes in there, the wait time, etc. I've moved away from Tucson and make an effort to get there when I'm back in town, I love it so much. 💙 It's my mum's favorite place to go together with me! Fresh pasta with great bread, wonderful rotating gelato flavors, a small but delicious pastry selection , and they have matcha now... what's better? Truly a wonderful local business that I hope is supported well and gets to stick around for a long time! I'd love for it to become a long-time staple of my trips back to Tucson. 🍝

This is one of the best places in Tucson to get fresh pasta and a variety of sauces. You pick your noodle and sauce and you get a small piece of focaccia with your pasta, it’s great! From classics like tomato basil, pesto, and bolognese to vodka sauce and some other rotating options every single combination I’ve tried has been fantastic. They also have sandwiches, salads, and some great french fries.

We go to Noodies once a week for pasta, salad, sandwiches or fries -- everything is delicious! Their weekly gelato flavors are always so good. Amazing, welcoming service!

Ohhh my! Noodies is the REAL deal - all their pasta is handmade and their weekly rotation of gelato flavors are the bomb! I have traveled in Italy and can confidently say that Noodies is a taste of Italia smack dab in the Sonoran Desert!

easily 5 stars! never disappoints, wish there was one on the north side, i'll be coming twice a week. * great pasta * specials of the weeks are always great , especially the lemon based ones * made a birria pasta 1 time and it was great * portions are great for price and quality i haven't tried the gelato yet but pasta is phenomenal and on the healthier side as far as eating out options out here in tucson. Wish you guys did a shrimp protein!

Best lunch (or dinner) in Tucson!!! Great prices and portions, and a super cute and relaxing dining room. Perfect for both a quick bite and a nice sit down meal with family/friends. Noodles are cooked consistently to a perfect al dente with enough sauce to coat every bite, and every pasta/sauce/protein combination is delicious and worth a try. Personal favorites are the vodka rigatoni with burrata or the spaghetti with pesto and chicken. And the fresh focaccia served with the pasta is delicious. The employees are always friendly and welcoming, and I love the outside seating for when I'm in the area with my dog. They also have two rotating soft-serve style gelato flavors each week which never disappoint-- so try to save room for dessert after trying their rotating special of the month.

Delicious fresh pastas and specials- and their focaccia is worth grabbing extra to go. I love their new weekly gelato flavors and baked goods!

What a great local place. They offer several hand made pastas and 4 different sauces. I chose the rigatoni with Cacio e Pepe sauce and some gelato. It came with a slice of focaccia bread and it was so nice and warm on a cold rainy day.

My wife and I enjoy going here. Food is consistently great, very flavorful with quality ingredients (olive oil, butter). They have rotating frozen yogurt flavors and the deserts in general have all been very good. Staff is pretty chill, always friendly and attentive.

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.

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!

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!!

Small shop close to the UA! Came in when it wasn't too busy and so the ambiance was nice and staff was friendly. The menu is simple which makes ordering easy. We ordered the tomato basil fettuccine with chicken, but as they were out of chicken the staff suggested the meatballs, which were unfortunately on the dry side and seemed a little burnt. Not our favorite protein, but as the sauce and noodles were good, we are open to trying other items in the future!

So surprisingly good! Best FRESH pasta noodle I've ever tasted.. so much cheesy flavor in every bite of the pasta.. I've ordered their white fettuccine pasta and my hubby ordered meatball sandwich.. so satisfying! We'll definitely come back here every time we want to have freshly made noodle.. so unique.. not to mention their ICE CREAM is to die for.. we got chocolate .. so yummy.. can't stop eating it until it's gone.. Food quality is like eating at a 5-star hotel.. so elevated! Keto diet will surely be ruined here.. consider it to be a cheat day! You won't regret coming here.. great pricing as well and they give big portion..

Great local spot. I have been in a couple of times definitely for dessert. Great fast service. Chill , comfortable atmosphere to enjoy all the delicious offerings. Definitely worth following them on instagram to keep up with the rotating gelato flavors which always look amazing.. I was definitely not disappointed with this weeks !

Delicious pastas (the texture and taste!), gelati, Slow Body cans, friendly server, no fuss!

The absolute BEST pasta in Tucson HANDS DOWN! Made fresh daily with delicious monthly specials and weekly rotating gelato flavors! Right by campus and UMC it's a great place for lunch solo, with some friends, or the whole fam! I eat here all the time and it's ALWAYS delicious!! The staff are incredible and the atmosphere is top notch! 1000/5 stars! If you haven't been yet, you have to!

The pasta is so tasty. I loved that they give you a little piece a bread, although I do wish it was slightly bigger since it's pretty good. We got the birthday cake gelato with chocolate syrup and it was delicious! Very smooth and creamy and actually tasted like birthday cake. The service was very enjoyable, the employee taking our order was kind and answered any questions we had. The ambiance of this restaurant is very cozy and small but intimate. When I went it wasn't too busy so we were able to sit at a booth. I loved that there was a little section for children. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because they were out of the strawberry matcha and I really wanted to try it. Overall, I'll definitely be returning soon to try their different pasta dishes, as well as their changing gelato menu and desserts! Such a great mix of foods. Music indoors was very quiet (or maybe they didn't have any at all, I don't recall) and the indoor temperature was comfortable (not too hot/cold).

Noodies was cute, but disappointing. I was excited to find a little pasta shop and the decor was fun without going too over the top. I was dismayed to see only four noodle and five sauce choices. I was hoping for Alfredo, but that is not one of the sauces they serve. I settled for the fettuccine with the tomato basil sauce, my companion had the fusilli with pesto sauce. My companion finished their fusilli while we were there and quite enjoyed it. My fettuccine was a bit overcooked and I didn't really enjoy the sauce. I only ate about a third of it there, but did take the rest home and reheated it with some marinara. It tasted it better after that, but still not worth $11 (which is the cheapest pasta price). The pasta dishes both included a piece of bread, which was pretty tasty, but extremely tiny. My companion had a bottled lemonade which was good. I decided to try a chocolate gelato milkshake. It was not well blended, so the first few drinks were not great. However, once it started to melt a bit and I was able to stir it, it was really enjoyable. It was sweet without being cloyingly so. It was smooth and creamy and oh so chocolaty. The portion sizes were okay for the pasta, but the prices seem a bit high for them. The milkshake was definitely overpriced. Customer service seemed fine, but other than giving my order at the counter, I didn't interact with anyone. Overall, I don't think I would plan to visit again. The prices just don't match the quality for me sadly.

Had a little bit of everything. Pastas were cooked perfectly and the fries were tasty. My pesto was a little salty after a few bites but I'd definitely be back.

A build-your-own pasta shop! Love the concept behind this business. They also have serve soft ice cream and salads as well. The salad was delicious and I loved the protein in it, the pasta was on the bland side and salt is definitely needed. Cute place, but don't see myself coming back!

This food is amazing! I've been wanting to try it forever and so glad I finally got to. I got bolognese and it's so fresh. The bread piece could definitely be bigger but the burrata added a nice touch. You walk up to a counter to order and the guy was nice. The music is a little loud in the lobby, which is spacious, but it was fine.

Bucatini with bolognese. Great taste but could have been served with more sauce. Noodles cooked perfect. Caprese sandwich is excellent. Coffee was dreck. Old and burnt. Should have asked for a replacement but we were in a bit of a hurry.

The sisters are always a delight at Rillito Farmers Market. The fresh pasta and vodka sauce are our regular weekly buys.

Noodies is brought to us by the same owners of Ceres. This concept offers a dine in seating as well as more options to customize your pasta dish, in addition to other menu items such as salads, panini, fries and soft serve gelato. Service is is order at the counter or you can order online, which is what I opted for. They also sell fresh made noodles and sauces to cook at home. The menu also includes items that vegetarian and vegan friendly. The online ordering system is easy to navigate, although the food was not ready when we arrived for pick up. I was worried that the pasta might not travel well but thankfully it did. We ordered cacio e pepe with bucatini, rigatoni with bolognese, caesar salad and arugula salad. The cacio e pepe was perfect. The bolognese sauce is the same way I make mine and they make it really well. The sauce to noodle ratio was off, making for a dry rigatoni meal. Ceres and Noodies definitely make nice quality pasta and sauces, which I wish they would serve on plates. Pasta this good should not be relegated to paper containers. It's wasteful and not a proper way to eat pasta, in my opinion. I'll likely stick to four stars until they serve pasta on real plates. ;)

I like the simplicity of the concept of Noodies: fresh pasta paired with sauce of your choosing. The choices are straightforward, but it's a hard decision when everything looks and smells so good! I ended up getting rigatoni with bolognese sauce, which was hearty and rustic. I liked it a lot, but did have a bit of plate envy regarding my friend's fusilli with pesto. My bolognese was good, but the flavor was a bit muted. The pasta was very good, as was the accompanying focaccia, and I would definitely consider getting some of their pasta to cook at home! I also went for the gelato, which had great flavor. The texture wasn't perfect (slightly grainy and hard), but I do recommend it nonetheless!

Tucson needs more low key, homemade pasta places, and noodies fits the bill. Unfortunately this location nor ceres is conveniently located and twice now I've tried ordering online to which I've gotten the error "no longer accepting orders." I went in and ordered two pastas to go which took a little over 25 minutes to come out. They don't take phone orders either so anticipate a wait if you want to go. It was a little frustrating because people who ordered dine in after me got their food before me still. For service and speed, a 2/5. That being said the food itself is a solid 4/5. Portions are on the smaller side, but it's affordable given the price and the quality is high. I would come again, but only as sit down.

Nice and clean place, they have kids corner inside. Friendly staff, nice service & good food. Comes at the weekend, it wasn't too busy. Small private parking lot.

I finally headed out to Noodies to try their vegan soft serve gelato and pasta fries, and can I tell you how I have just been craving those fries ever since? So yum. Noodies offers pastas, various sauces, fries, sandwiches, salads and soft serve gelato, and I chatted with the staff to figure out what offerings are gluten and dairy free! Try out the French fries drenched in their super flavorful tomato and basil sauce, and top it with Italian sausage if you want a protein! The meat is $3.50 extra, and the flavor of that sausage is perfection. I do wish there were a few more fries on the plate, because the ones on the bottom did get soggy fast. The tomato and basil sauce tastes like tomatoey goodness, and is so fresh. The lemon gelato is vegan, and packs a punch, for real. It was so flavorful, and the citrus really kept its sour bite, which I loved. Order your gelato in a cup if you are gluten free. Overall impressions: the fries were literally so delicious, but there wasn't enough of them for the price. My sister's sandwich was on a bread better toasted, but wasn't toasted. She described it as "cold and sad." The soft serve was refreshing.

I was on the fence about writing this but I owe it to the people who rely on reviews to make decisions. 1. Lunch service was extremely slow- I'm unsure if our ticket was misplaced and we were lost in the shuffle but it took 30 mins for our two sandwiches. 2. My favorite, the meatball sub, had ZERO sauce. It was the driest meatball sub with too much cheese. 3. The worst- it needed salt. Majorly. I'm unsure if it was just an off day, hope so, but I'm not sure it's the five star place I ate at a big ago.

Noodies is always consistent tasting. I love getting to try different specials. The Al Limone is so fresh and delicious. I also really enjoy the Cacio a Pepe. I like the art on the walls and vibe of the restaurant. Also, everyone working is very helpful and friendly.

Alright let's get down to it, by unpopular opinion, the food was honestly overpriced, it tasted good, but not to the point to bring me back. I'm glad I tried this spot, but it did not stand out. I spent 42 dollars for a sub and a bowl of pasta with two meat balls and two drinks. I felt like I was missing the soup and salad from Olive Garden at that point.

The food was good! They had a deal for a small side salad with pasta and I asked for this. The cashier said that it is only for a certain pasta deal but she asked the owner or manager if they could make an exception. The person she asked said no and was very rude about it. They didn't look at me or say no kindly, it just was hurtful considering this was my first time here and I didn't know that a side salad was only available for one dish. I felt like I wasn't welcome and that I was an annoyance for asking for a side salad. It doesn't cost anything to be kind to others. Unfortunately will probably not go back because of this.

SUPER CUTE pasta and sandwich place! Place your order at the counter and wait for them to call out your name. Plenty of seating inside and outside! Parking is also available by the gas station. The staff is super friendly and helpful when it comes to ordering! Pasta size was reasonable. Sandwiches seem a bit small. Get more than just sandwich if you're hungry!

Our first time today we did takeout ! Really good food! The quality of the pasta and the sauce is super fresh, the meatballs are outstanding. And anything from Roma imports is always a win, especially their sausage. I only find it ridiculous to upcharge $1.50 for 1OZ Ramiken of grated Parm. Other then that for the most part the price is okay, $35 for 2 pastas. Forsure budget yourself to eat here. But the food is great.

Second location of Ceres. The first location is in Downtown Tucson. It's nice to have a place to sit down and eat. You order at the counter and call you when it's ready. Service was great and the food came out quick. You have your choice of pasta and sauce. They've added salads, sandwiches and French fries. Our pasta dishes were good except the meatballs were cold, other then that it was all good and the gelato was great. Portions were good, I had leftovers. @noodiestucson

Slightly obsessed with the food here, it's casual dining prices are so reasonable and the best part? The pasta is absolutely divine... this place will definitely be our go to for pasta! I had the penne with vodka sauce, my husband got gnocchi and 5 year old got Bolognais and to our pleasant surprise she ate it all! They also have ice cream my daughter tried the birthday cake flavor and she loved it. 10/10 recommend this place if you love pasta and ice cream

I've been counting down the days until Noodies opened up in the old Bentley's space. Sad to see the coffee shop go but glad it's staying in the family. I hope with this new location means even more of our community gets to enjoy fresh pasta from one of Tucson's best. At Noodies you can find the classics you have come to know and love from Ceres like tomato basil, pesto, and bolognese plus some awesome new menu additions! We tried rigatoni with vodka sauce and tomato basil with a few of their sparkling drinks and finished the afternoon off with soft serve on the patio. This location has a totally different feel and vibe than Ceres with so much indoor and outdoor seating. You can expect some familiar faces and their always friendly staff getting fresh made food out quickly for those looking for a fast lunch or dinner. We timed our visit just right and were able to be seated right away before it really filled in. If you love fresh pasta, this place is a must try.

Tried the cacio e pepe with fettuccini, pasta was very fresh and the sauce was light. Portion was large, environment was clean and staff was friendly. The Italian sausage was good but I personally am not a fan of fennel which was a little overpowering. Otherwise, definitely recommend!

Love the pesto and fettuccine. I always add a meatball. Love the atmosphere so welcoming and casual. Fine to bring kids and parents. The service is great. Food is timely and warm when you get it.

Great ambiance, fast service, but 5 star food. Hand made pasta and flavorful sauces. Love the vodka fries and caprese sandwich when I'm feeling snacky. 10/10

Noodies...tastes great, quality of a Italian cuisine meal at a reasonable price. Noodles made daily. Must try the gelato!

Noodies is almost identical to its sister store Ceres, except that it doesn't have the regular pasta specials that Ceres gifts upon us. What Noodies does have are vodka sauce and pasta fries, which are also gifts. I'm so happy to have a dinner option from our friends at Ceres and I also kind of love that the two are a little bit different.

Really, really good! High quality, super fresh. But I wish they had more vegan sauce options!! Vegan pesto would be amazing. Gnocchi as well

Very cute. Kids enjoy their frozen yogurt. Also restaurant was clean and tidy. Friendly service.

I ate here last night with four friends. We all liked it. I had fettuccine pasta with vodka sauce ($12) with added meatballs ($3.50) and burrata ($3.50), which brought the price up to $19. It was served with bread. The Italian in our group approved of the pasta and all of us liked the food. The place is near the university and was full of students. You can sit at long high tables with stools or at booths that seat four. You order at the counter and have to pick up your own food. It is served in disposable containers. The food came out quickly and we were done eating less than 40 minutes after arriving. The place is quite loud, which made conversation difficult.

Food is amazing. The interior aesthetic is fun and hip. But the noise is almost unbearable. People are yelling to their companions at lunch. The staff is screeching names for order pick up over the din and they sound irritated but I don't blame them. Noodies, please please get some fabric or acoustic panels or some sort of noise absorbent material. Love you

Tried out this location as a date night for my husband and it was very busy. We luckily found a place to sit, but had to wait a little to even get it. The food was good, we even bought some dried noodles by the cashier to bring home to cook another time. The change in gelato flavor is amazing and definitely intrigues us to stop by again.

Yummy pasta. Came here with a friend on a hot day and it hit the spot!! Lots of seating in the bright and colorful indoor area. Service was fantastic too, everyone was so nice. Plenty of parking, plus a cool mural on the outside of the shop. Super convenient location for any college students out there.

It was my first time trying Noodies and I'm completely disappointed and disgusted, after hearing so many good things. I ordered the pesto pasta with fusilli style noodles and found one long black hair in my pasta and i was forgiving cause sometimes stuff happens but when i continued to eat my pasta i found 2 more long black hairs. I have red hair and Ik it's not mine. I almost felt like someone had to have been brushing their hair over my pasta, cause how would so much and up in my pasta?(obviously a joke but how do you get so much hair in my food) Just so gross, please put your hair back when making food it's not that much to ask! Came in on 8/4/24.

This place is outrageously priced, had small portions, and the noodles were rock hard. What I had originally wanted to order was out of stock, they only had two gelato flavors and no fountain drinks. not coming back.

Went again last night. I had the Bolognese with fusilli and meatballs, my partner had the tomato & basil with bucatini. Both came with grated parmesan on top and a small piece of focaccia. This meal was good, but not as good as the vodka sauce from last time. After some googling, I'm thinking this is more of a traditional Bolognese - not much tomato involved. It's just personal preference, but I think more tomato or tomato paste would make this a better sauce. The meatballs were not as flavorful as last time, but they were perfectly cooked, with a nice sear outside and tender inside. The tomato and basil sauce my partner had was very good. Very bright but rich, lots of fresh basil. Portions were satisfying, but not overwhelming, which I appreciate - many restaurants can't find that balance. I'll be coming back to start trying the sandwiches!
