An Italian pasta house that opened in downtown Traverse City in 2020, we serve an approachable menu that features simple house-made pastas like spaghetti and marinara alongside creative specialties that highlight lots of seasonal, local ingredients. We keep it casual, like the music a little on the loud side, and love to have fun while we have the pleasure of serving our guests.
Relaxed restaurant doling out pasta, pizza & salads in a contemporary, brick-lined space.

We loved our first visit! Menu for restaurant week was fun. I did try the calamari and Cesar salad outside the restaurant week menu and they were fun, different, and delicious. Each dish had its own unique taste. The crispy chicken is Server was awesome, transparent, and made the visit fun. It is a little tight on space inside felt a little cramped but awesome vibe inside. Best Italian style foods in TC!!! HIDDEN GEM.

Absolutely love this restaurant! It is our favorite in all of Traverse City – truly the best Italian you can find anywhere! It is one of our go to spots (we go all the time). We went there tonight to celebrate my mom’s birthday and Armani made it truly such a special and memorable evening that we will always remember and cherish as a family. Miyoshi is also simply amazing!! If you want the best Italian and best service you truly cannot find anywhere better than The Flying Noodle. Everything we have ever ordered here is spectacular and they are truly doing everything right. We love their classic marinara, cheese bread, and meatballs just to name a few things (their sauce is seriously legendary)! So much love for this little restaurant and their entire team that goes above and beyond each and every visit to create the best experiences!

The food was good. I would go back for the apple brie appetizer alone! My spouse loved the bolognese. I liked the alfredo sauce, but wish my chicken was a bit thicker. Overall, a great atmosphere! We had excellent service by Jake. We will be back. Reservations are a must.

Update 1/8/26- Went back on 1/3/26 for lunch to celebrate completing chemo and radiation. Our server, Miyoshi, was great and sat us at the end of the restaurant so I can be far from people and potential sickness since I was still immunocompromised. She also gave a most delicious cheesecake on the house as a congratulatory gift!
While going through treatments, I knew I wanted to go back to Traverse City to eat at The Flying Noodle when it was over. It was the silver lining I was looking forward to and no surprised, they exceeded all expectations with their fabulous food and staff. Thank you!
Went in for dinner on Friday and we loved it so much, we went back the next day for lunch! The food is so fresh and the homemade pasta is so tasty and perfectly cooked. We tried four pasta sauces and four different apps—They were all so delicious, I wish I could go back again.
Staff were great and they even recognized us when we came back the next day. Our bartenders, April and a gentlemen the night before, were friendly and had great recommendations. The people we met at the bar were great, too!
Can’t speak more highly of this place. You won’t regret coming here!

Words cannot describe how wonderful the food is here! The caesar salad is simply the best you will ever have…the lemon takes it to the next level. And don’t even get me started on the cheese garlic bread! These folks are culinary experts! Their seasonal menu items are also incredible. This time, the french onion pasta blew me away. So cozy and flavorful. The restaurant is also incredibly spotless! But perhaps even more impressive is the service. We always love seeing Armani, April, and now Miyoshi. She was the best, even surprising us with a little sampler bowl of a dish I was debating on getting instead of the french onion! Thank you, noodle crew, we’ll be back again and again.

Had reservations for an early dinner (4:30p) as we had plans in town at 6p. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and love Flying Noodle. My favorite cocktail in town is served here (Smooth Sailing). Normally we sit at the bar and simply walk-in, but we opted for a table this time.
Hubby had the clams and I chose a shrimp caesar salad. We shared the burrata. How nice to have more crostini than cheese for once! Our waiter was fantastic. Service was almost too fast as we were done by 5:05p.
Keep up the great work! We recommend this place frequently to friends.

A great option for pasta. The restaurant itself is charming.. very cozy!!
The food is bright, plated beautifully, tastes delicious and very fresh.
Our server was kind and educational while not being pushy.
Loved it!

Tried making a reservation a week or so in advance and they said they could only take us at 4:30 and they wouldn’t take walk ins. I told them we were celebrating our daughter’s birthday. On the phone and when we got there they didn’t care. The group in front of us was a walk in and they told them they could be put down for a table in a hour. So that was confusing to me. We got sat right away but our server was terrible. Little to no attention. Lack of refills and no care of it being our daughter’s birthday. The place was extremely overcrowded and loud. The food absolutely sucked. I got the green pasta and it lacked flavor. The kids meals were a whole joke. Chips with pasta?? Chips for kids? The options were very limited and the pasta type was not kid friendly. Also picked this place because the menu said house made pasta and it was very much not homemade pasta at all. It was a huge disappointment and waste of money with the lack of quality of food.

FOUR TIMES I tried to get a seat here. Never made a reservation, just walked in hoping they had a spot. Nope. FINALLY a place for two at the bar! We’ll take it!!! I am so glad we did!
The food here is PHENOMENAL! True confession here, Im not a big eater and ordered the chicken Caesar. It was DELICIOUS, the chicken was moist, done to perfection, the lettuce was pieced the right size, the croutons were heavenly and the dressing divine. My husband had the short rib pasta with an addition of mushrooms. Yes! Order the mushrooms! I am not a huge pasta fan but I probably would have tried to eat the ENTIRE dish! The people next to us ordered the garlic cheese bread and I was so very envious, next time we are definitely ordering that too!
As for cocktails they have a nice variety and my husband loved the marmalade Manhattan type of drink. So much so he had two. I am NOT a bourbon drinker but this was very tasty!
Since our meal was so good we decided to “force” ourselves to share the cheesecake. Cheesecake? Really? This was more like heavenly vanilla silk. UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE.
Dont make the mistake thinking this is just another pasta place, and dont make the mistake of not making reservations.

This was our third time coming, and it was just as good as the last. Will always come back! Pictured: Garlic dots, caesar salad, french onion pasta with crispy chicken, and pesto pasta with crispy chicken.
