| - Noodles... oh how I have gone out of my way for you. First had you in Minnesota in Jan '04, then took a 150 mile detour to go back. Driving to Far East San Diego to eat you. Now driving to South End from University City. The service here was great, almost too good - almost over the top. I love the new urbanist-esque integration into a mixed-use (if i remember right) building. Clean and orderly inside and with outdoor seating. Serves beer & wine, huge pluses! The only problem and why you are 3/5 stars right now is that my Pasta Fresca was a huge disappointment. Very low on spinach, onions, cheese, and tomatoes (almost forgot they were there). And most egregious of all, the sauce -- primarily balsamic vinegar based -- was so minimal that I felt I was just eating plain pasta. Not sure what to do at this point. I've eaten this dish every time I've gone and, while it varies, it is usually on point. Not sure if it is just this location, or because I got the meal for free since it was my b-day (I know beggars shouldn't be choosers -- but still!). I'll definitely give it another try, but maybe I'll give up on my long running -- 7 years! -- love affair with the Pasta Fresco.
