Noodle Pudding

Similar to my 'review' of Blue Ribbon - one of the best restaurants in Brooklyn...usually good service, great food and CONSISTENT...you know your not going to have a bad meal here and more then you'd expect, you'll have an amazing one.

Unlike BR - fair prices - but cash only

One of my favorite restaurants in NYC. Much more than the sum of its parts - there's certainly more delicately prepared Italian food elsewhere, more professional service, a quieter dining room, a reservations policy - but the warm welcome, solid food and genial atmosphere make this a great dining experience. I'm always impressed that the owner is there every evening during service, making sure things run smoothly...and he's not above bussing a plate or two when things get busy.

This may be the most lovable restaurant in New York. The food is terrific, prices are quite low (try the $12 bottle of montepulciano!) and the staff and ambiance are warm and inviting. The only real downside is that it's almost always crowded but if you go early or late the wait isn't bad.

Who cares about the name? Silly Chowhounds. Great restaurant that has always been worth the wait. Nice staff, good specials, great for veggies and meat eaters alike. Surprisingly one of the better steaks I've had in South Brooklyn. Great wine list too.

Consistently delicious food. Just had the fried calamari appetizer and linguini with seafood diavolo last night. Good wine too. My only complaint is that it can get loud, but with the front open to the fresh air, who really cares? You can't go wrong with Noodle Pudding!

Antonio Migliaccio is a genius. And, a poet. His indefatigably creative spirit is in everything from the floors, to the bathroom art, and to the simply prepared, elegant, and inspired food. But please don't tell anyone else. When THE NEW YORKER wrote about this restaurant, Antonio told me he wanted to put a sign on the door saying "Members Only."

I'm almost tempted to leave it a terrible review as the only downside of Noodle Pudding is that its always crowded and the wait for a table can be long! But its a gem of a place. Its the quintesential neighborhood comfort food Italian, except that the food is absolutly a cut above the average neighborhood joint. Def. one of the best spots in Brooklyn Heights

this place is awful so everyone stay away!

I have been here a couple times. The food is good but there is something about the overall vibe, much like the hood in which it resides, that seems to cry out for a stylistic update. What makes up for that is the bustling energy I guess and good food. The gnocchi was not as tender or fluffy as I have liked but I may be picky. It might not be the coolest spot around but sometimes that is better.

Great spot. I've been coming since the New Yorker review and never been disappointed except if a dish is no longer available. Despite some renown, has a cool, local feel to it.

This is without a doubt the best restaurant in the Heights and one of the top Italian restaurants in the city. The prices are incredibly reasonable, the food is very consistent as others have said and is always incredibly fresh. The vibe is also super friendly, down to earth and inviting, making it an ideal neighborhood place. What I love most about it is that it has an authenticity about it in that it is rare to find Italian food in this city that could just as easily be served in the mother country. The only other place that rivals it (even exceeds it) in authenticity in my mind is Al Di La. The only (very) minor complaints - occasional spotty service and slightly tired decor.

Nothing to write home about. Not worth checking out. Not even worth going to the North Heights. Try Smith Street, or 5th Ave., or better yet Manhattan. Just stay away from this place.

You hear me?? LEAVE MY NOODLE PUDDING ALONE!

Great menu and service, consistent quality. Good bar as well... had a Gimlet there last week that stopped time. We've been going there since its opening, and have never had a complaint. But, yeah, stay away. The Heights is so boring you'll have a narcoleptic fit stepping off the A or 2.

I was hoping that Noodle Pudding would escape Brownstoner's review. Why? Cuz I knew that everyone would give it an excellent review and lines would get longer.

Truth be told, I go here frequently and get there at 5:30 to avoid the crowds. This is hands down, my fav restaurant in New York City. Tony is a great owner and the help is equally fantastic. Someone mentioned how great the steak is, well try the different fresh fish on the menu or the $12 Lasagna with a cold Morelli Beeron tap. Life is sweet. And the prices are incredible.

In short, love this place to death and thank Tony for this wonderful restaurant which has definitely improved my quality of life here in Brooklyn Heights.

Great neighborhood restaurant. Very good food, well priced, friendly service, and a good atmosphere. What more BH places should be like.

Lines can be long but it is such a nice place to eat early on a summer evening when the front windows are open. If my husband liked Italian more we would eat there all the time.
