Calzones are the best! Super friendly staff, I love their Pizzas too.

Food took forever and once it finally came out they were putting chairs up and told us they already had last call and we could not have a drink with dinner. This has been our family go to restaurant for 30 plus years. The most disappointing feeling was that nobody cared that our dinner was an awful experience. We have seen a slow decline in our last diners. I hope some gets this and makes the necessary corrections.

Food was soooo good! Had the lasagna! Just as I remembered! Great service and the waiter boxed up our food and also brought us an extra roll in a bag to take home with the left overs! I need to go to Noah’s more often!

Food was not good at all. I ordered the baked Rigotoni and it was burnt and hard as a rock. The sauce wasn't good at all. Only reason I didn't send the food back was because it was my Aunts Bday and I didn't want to upset her. Waitress was very sweet but was very old and forgot allot of things felt bad for her. Food took forever to get almost 45 mins. Place was mega expensive. Olive Garden would have been much better and a 1/3 rd of the price.

Had a GREAT experience here recently for a lunch with my parents. Angie was our server, and she was patient, respectful, and extremely helpful. I can't say enough good things about her, and the rest of the meal - the food was outstanding, and old-school quality. The atmosphere was great. But the staff really won my heart. We will be back. A new favorite place. Thank you!!!

Usually very good but last night I had red snapper that was so over-cooked I had to cut it with a knife. Manager was unconcerned!

Far too pricy. Steak sandwich $35.00 is ridiculous!! The parking attendant needs a way for people to know what he is doing. We thought he was going to his vehicle. We finally drove passed him to park. He made a rude comment to us. Just as rude to us as we left. Terrible dining experience overall.

I visit Noah’s Ark every time I’m in DSM. I love that it’s exactly the way it was 50 years ago. An iconic place. Get the pizza- I appreciate that we had a gf crust option. Our server, Shelly, was excellent. Yay Noah’s!!

Vegetarian options: It’s Italian food…lots of veg options.

My wife and I will celebrate 60 years of marriage and we have been eating at this restaurant before we were married! Never disappointed by the food or service, always top notch! Ate there last week and joined by 2 couples that have also been eating there for decades! I and my brother also worked for Noah part time and we are German/Norwegian/Dutch! Love the food and people. See my remarks in 2020 also! May celebrate our 60th there in late November! Keep on keeping on J Jr!
