Today:
Modern, clean and fresh as the soft wonderful wheat strands piled in your bowl, this pasta plant churns out oodles of noodle dishes.
I got the pesto last night and it had great flavor, but I would've preferred just a little bit more to soak into my noodles.
However, if you're in a rush, or are looking for a fast food alternative, this is a great spot. The service has always been friendly and fast. They've got tofu too, which is kind of nice, if you're vegetarian. And lots of salads and soups too.
Hits the spot fast.
I like it but I ordered too much. For some reason I felt I should get the large bowl and that s a lot of macaroni and cheese.
I think the food here is good, but agreed that it gets old fast. The first time around the menu is kinda weird and confusing, but not terribly. When I got the trio, my salad was super tiny, but my noodles had lots of tofu (which is a nice option to have). And honestly, I think it's over priced. It is mainly noodles after all.
every other review is pretty close to what i have to say about N&C. the portions are nice, but maybe a little unbalanced for the price. variation in what you can order is, well, limited. its strange to think that with a possible 27 variations of what to order that you would want to go back again and again.....but like many others say, it gets old. the tastes of the proteins could be kicked up some - the chicken is always just chicken and the tofu is just tofu. i stay away from 'steak' in places that dont really care about meat.
the sauces are tasty, just a little scarce, the pasta itself is, well, pasta. no glorious moments of "wow, ive never tasted this kind before" or, "i think this is my new favorite dish" but you will leave knowing that at least you didnt eat pizza or a burger. as it is with any non-chain, watch your liquid intake if its not soda; 2.50 for a bottle of anything is kinda ridiculous, but hey, youre serving pasta too.
so im not totally down on N&C, but like benjamindy says, thai cafe is only a block and a half away. get some real tasty noodles and real spicy sauces for maybe a buck or two more.
-and if you have parents that are afraid of broad ripple, this is one of the better places to go for a quick cheapish meal.
This could get old fast
The new location in Broad Ripple is great. But however, the food is just a little bland. I guess it is a nice place to go every so often but to have it very often would get old really fast!
