CERES Pasta 77 West Washington Street, Tucson, AZ 85701

"Depending on the time of day, there can be a long line and a longer wait time. Popular pastas and sandwiches also often sell out so go early before the lunch rush. Limited seating is available. The pasta is handmade and the pasta of the day is often interesting in terms of flavors. There is also usually a special gelato offered. The grapefruit matcha was delicious!"

"This is the best pasta I've had in my life. I came here on a Thursday around noon after finishing my very last exam for my undergraduate degree. At this point, I knew that I wouldn't be in Tucson much longer, so I was on a mission to go to this place. I've visited on a few occasions but they are very rarely open, so after memorizing their hours of operation by heart, I texted a couple of friends to see if they were free, waited a whole 5 minutes, then set off on the Sunlink cable car to go here by myself. I got the Cacio e Pepe with Tagliolini. I don't know if it's because it was my first experience having fresh pasta, but it was wonderful. I don't think I would ever have the opportunity to have fresh pasta outside of a fancy sit down place, but this was a very casual take-out operation where I ate my lunch outside on the nearby picnic tables and enjoyed the surrounding wall mural art. Would come again."

"I am so glad I found this place on social media! My sister is completely dairy free and I saw the flavor of the week was a sorbetto, so I decided to take her with me to come and try it! It was so good that I had to double check it was dairy free! She was so excited that she could eat something that basically tasted like ice cream! Next time I will most definitely try the pastas and I am looking forward to trying new flavors!"

"This Italian pasta eatery was WOW. Loved every square inch of this place. The pasta was amazing. We ordered a cacio e pepe and the daily special (which was a vodka rigatoni pasta). Just wow! It really feels like you are somewhere else. The atmosphere was just so chill, the evening was nice and warm, just a great time to spend while you enjoy some pasta. They also sold coffee and gelato which is a huge plus to spending more time outside. The service and staff were amazing. Such a hidden gem in Tucson!"
