“We were given seats at a large table, which had very comfortable seating.”
“The lemon goat cheesecake was extremely dry and practically begged for a nice sauce or some fresh fruit.”
“have eaten here for years, always good food and great bar just crowded.”
“The buffalo mozzarella was fresh and the tomatoes with it were juicy and flavorful.”
“Restaurant is also listed as kid friendly - our 5-year old son likes his pasta plain, no sauce no butter, no cheese - but there is no kids menu - we paid $7 for a half order of penne and it wasn't enough to satisfy our son's appetite.”
“Noodle Pudding is undoubtedly my favorite restaurant in New York.”
“Noodle Pudding simply oozes warmth, good Italian food and friendly service.”
“The food is FANTASTIC, the prices are reasonable and the service is great.”
“Full disclosure: I had a long-term relationship that sustained its ground on the evenings at Noodle Pudding.”View Less
Best restaurant in the Heights. Loud, busy, cheap, great food, nice bar, great service, packed, cash only. Been going here for years. I tend to get there at 6 because if you come later you have to wait an hour. All the grannies and families are here early. Then it's packed until 9:30 or so. In the summer the wait is easier. Henry's End benefits from the overflow but it's nowhere near as good and the service is indifferent. The heights is a picky place for restaurants and dozens of them have failed since I've lived here. This one marches on because they have the right combination of food, service and price.…
Love Love Love it Here.
We absolutely love it here and have been coming for YEARS! Yes, it is cash only and there is often a wait - that just means it's inexpensive and popular - two good signs!

Impressed... Subtle food and service. Noodle pudding is exactly the type of service and food I enjoy. Servers are all different, Greg is my favorite. Sometimes tables don't understand his sense of humor but it's refreshing to have a server who has personality, professionalism, and respects the privacy of your dinner. This is the first place I've been that a runner remembers my order... hope he likes his job because I have half a mind to steal him for my restaurant. Prices are fair across the board for both food and bev. I go out to eat and like my courses, servers are patient and never rush courses or force another drink. Restaurants in manhattan should try to model food and service after this place.…
Maggot in the food!. I've been wanting to go to this place forever and finally got a table. The menu looked great, and the waiter was very nice, but when the food came, it was average. Nevertheless, I finished my plate, and that's when I found a maggot in mushroom sauce at the bottom. I showed it to the manager, and he smilingly apologized and brought us two free desserts (but did not ask us what we wanted and so brought the last two desserts we would have asked for). When the bill came, nothing was comped, so I told the manager very politely that we were willing to pay for the wine, but I didn't think I should have to pay for food with a maggot in it. Yes, I ate the food, but I certainly would not have if I had seen the maggot before eating, and I was at this point fairly sick to my stomach. The manager finally said he would comp the two glasses of wine (which cost less than the food), and made it seem like a big concession. We paid and left because we didn't feel like arguing any more. I have worked in restaurants and cook a lot, and there is no way a maggot should be able to get into well prepared food. For a restaurant with such a good reputation and that is usually so packed, there was no reason for such a lack of intelligent customer service.…
Overrated at best. Went here tonight on a recommendation of a few people as well as the stellar reviews. The appetizers that we ordered, Polpo(Octopus) was tasty, but the Carpacchio was more like an arugula salad instead of carpacchio and was in need of salt. Our main entrees the Tagliatelle Bolognese was also okay. Nothing special, just some ground chuck in tomato sauce and the Veal Cheeks special could've also used more salt in the polenta and the cippolini onions could've been cooked a few minutes longer. The veal cheeks themselves were cooked perfectly but lacked salt. The wait between appetizer and entree was a ridiculous 30 minutes considering we were one of the first tables seated. Overall not what I expected for all the hype. I can understand going there if I were to live in the neighborhood but not worth the trip. Al Di La is much better Italian food especially for the price.…
