Noah's Ark Ristorante

Very up beat Italian restaurant. The food was super delicious. Their house made sausage is the absolute best! Just be aware it’s a link of sausage not ground up. I had it with some meat sauce and it was oh so tasty. My girlfriend had the classic chicken Alfredo and she loved it too!

This place is amazing! Amazing food and wonderful amazing waitresses and waiters!! I had the best waitress and she was very kind and helpful! She went above and beyond to help us order, kept our drinks filled, very professional, I had a great experience!! The food was excellent especially the bread and sauce!!!!!!!!!! I highly recommend this restaurant!!

This DSM staple is the best Italian around. Their old-school oven makes this thin crispy crust pizza that is beyond belief, amazing. It is a tough act to follow. You could drink their red sauce. Add this one to your list..

We love Noah's! This restaurant holds so many memories from birthday dinners with my folks as a child to a couple of special surprise parties for each of my parents. It was also a favorite place to go to on dates in high school.
We love the Pizzas but all the items on their menu are delicious. The staff is very friendly and prompt as servers.
Grab some family and friends and head to Noah's for a wonderful meal.

It's been a while since my husband and I have ate here. The waitress was amazing. She was very attentive and made sure our meals were as we asked. My husband wanted cheesecake but they were out, so that bummed him out. Otherwise our overall experience was amazing and will return soon!

I love the food! Particularly the fried chicken.

You can always count on Noah's Ark to serve their traditional Italian meals fit for a king. Their homemade rolls are outstanding. Great place for a evening out with friends.

I can't find anything bad to say about this place. The food was excellent and the service just as good. We were visiting family while on vacation from Tennessee. My brother suggested eating here. I had the surf and turf (9 oz filet mignon and lobster tail). My wife had the sirloin. Her sirloin was as tender as any filet I've ever had elsewhere. My filet was the best I've had, most tender and the flavor with the sauce was amazing. The lobster tail was large and cooked perfectly. My wife was upset she didn't order the surf and turf so we went back the next day to eat again. Don't forget to order desert (even if you have to take it home to enjoy it later). Both nights we were there the owner visited our table to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Keep up the good work, you have a great establishment that I'm sure we will visit again next time we vacation here.

I was referred to Noah's Ark by the concierge at my hotel downtown in Des Moines. I'm so glad I went there! I arrived at opening during lunch. The menu is so big, so much to choose from! I ended up getting the Chicken Parmesan lunch special, I think it was 12.95. A great deal. First they brought out one of their famous garlicky love knots. Then I had a house salad with their famous creamy Italian dressing. It was a generous serving of salad, and it was good. The dressing was to die for! I don't usually like creamy Italian, but the waitress told me how good it was. She was right! It was amazing! I'll have to buy some next time I'm there. The Chicken Parmesan was delicious. It came with spaghetti and a very big Dinner Roll! That roll was like two rolls. The chicken parmesan had a little bit of bell pepper and onion in it, which I loved! After my meal I was too full for dessert. But the waitress gave me a complimentary bite of some delicious cheesecake! That was very nice of them to do that. A good way to get me to buy a big piece next time I'm there!

Staffing is on point. Very friendly and always quick with the refills! If you love pasta, you'll love Noah's Ark! We had the Ravioli baked, garlic cheese bread and a house salad. All excellent food, hot and in no time at all! Oh and their lemon cake is to die for!

Noah's never disappoints. This is a favorite if not my absolute go to I need some great food where do I go? Oh yeah Noah's! Get whatever, just pick something it's all good. Don't forget the house salad dressing and you'll need to try the pizza at least once, but it will be more than once. 😉

Another wonderful night at Noah’s!
Pasta was perfectly al dente. Our favorite place in Des Moines.

Very unique and beautiful place. The food was delicious. Ordered the Surf and Turf, did not regret my decisions.

I've been going here since I was a kid. My grandma used to tell stories of all the parties and fancy dinners she used to have here. The pasta is all good, pizza is amazing. I do wish there were a few other options besides just fried stuff. I'm excited to try the broiled chicken. And you can't beat the salad with their house creamy Italian dressing.

A Des Moines staple in great Italian dining. Great food, great service all the time.

I love this place, always have. When me and my children moved back to DSM, it was the first place I wanted to eat after unpacking. The only thing that had changed in a 10 yr. gap was the lobster tank is now just a fish tank. The only drawback is that some career servers here like to act that if you're a customer, then you've never worked in the service industry.

"Thank you for being so nice. Your restaurant is the best!" Sincerely, My 8 year old.
Our server, Loan, was amazing. The food was delicious. The kids are hooked (not easy to do) and are already requesting to come back!

The best Italian restaurant in the area! Everything was fresh and delicious! We ordered a pizza and fettuccine with their homemade oil sauce and it was the best tasting fettuccine dish we have ever had! The house salad with the creamy Italian dressing and homemade fresh bread is a must!

Noah's Ark Restaurant is a delight and a staple in the Des Moines area. Always courteous and professional wait staff. And the food is delicious! Pictured is a large pepperoni and mushroom calzone. Superb flavor!

Food prices average about $15+/-.

Noah's is a great place to enjoy a meal and/or bring a date to. Very enjoyable experience.

Great food. Pizza was not like anything around Des Moines. They really put effort into food which makes price worth it.
