Don’t let the odd name fool you - Noodle Pudding serves some of the finest Italian food in the neighborhood. Heights locals who’ve already discovered this treasure are quite familar with the low-key facade (there is only one very subtle sign in the doorway), so if it’s your first visit, look out because you might miss it. The cozy, rustic decor are as friendly and welcoming as the cheerful host who will greet you at the door. They do not accept reservations, so on a busy Saturday night you may have to wait.

Over our already several visits to Noodle Pudding, we’ve tried the fried calamari, beef carpaccio, mushroom risotto, and fresh mozzarella appetizers. All were fantastic and tasty, especially the risotto! On our most recent trip, we had the steak entree for two, which was cooked to perfection. The fettucine bolognese that our friend ordered looked great as well. We topped off our meal with a delicious chocolate mousse cake, and a shot of limoncello and fresh berries. …Just like being in Sorrento.
