Noah's Ark Ristorante is an Ingersoll Avenue mainstay, one of those Des Moines restaurant landmarks that's been around for decades. The restaurant is comfortable and still decorated like an old-school supper club out of the '60s and '70s. The Italian menu is reliable and consistent. The service staff is friendly, and it's fun to walk in the restaurant's revolving door to ogle over the fancy desserts in the display case. And the pizza is worth more than a mention in itself.
