The Death Glare is a "calm", murderous look often coupled with a tensed and menacing posture, often with a deadly stillness, and usually is served with deathly silence. Massimo was definitely angry at Alberto burning the boat, but his angry look is by no means a death glare, nor was it intended to be one.

A Noodle Incident is something from the past that is sometimes referred to but never explained, with the implication that it's just too ludicrous for words. In this case we know what happened. Massimo made his father angry enough to punch a hole in brick wall and then they fixed it together (showing that the father got over his anger). Just because we don't know exactly what Massimo did to make his father angry does not make it a Noodle Incident.
