The Pasta Factory

Amazing food and excellent service, with a really nice casual atmosphere. The vegan options were amazing.

everything under seasoned, carbonara below average with 6/7 tiny pieces of pork cheeks, had less than half of it and still paid full for it. Calamari chewy and without any salt. Not recommended at all. The restaurant smells a bit of mould.

We came here over a year ago on our first trip to Manchester, and it was so good we booked again when we knew we’d have another night in the city. Lovely place - really great food, a good range of Italian wines and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Fantastic restaurant, good selection and well labelled menu! Good value and friendly staff.

Good cosy atmosphere. Menue a bit limited, food was presented well but a bit cold and no sauce on my seafood pasta. Again jot much choice on desert menue.

Really lovely service and the starter, main, and dessert were all amazing!

really delicious food and lovely welcoming staff. Worth a visit

Nice friendly people and fine menu, great and nice diner

Everyone enjoyed their meal as always! One of our favourite restaurants

Great Food. Service was ok. Atmosphere is a bit basic, not really Italian.

Delicious food and great service. Loved it and would recommend!

Scallop pasta was amazing, not very much of it, still hungry after. As a single diner being plonked in the middle of the restaurant isn't good.

Great service, very friendly staff. Authentic Italian pasta in the middle of Manchester. Nice wine, good choice. Desserts a little slow but there were new staff in the kitchen apparently so that's fine. Enjoyed our meal.

Focusing on the pasta dishes for mains, these were all extremely good. Some of the best we've had in a long while.

Brilliant service and food. I wish we had gone sooner.

Nice little place. Friendly staff. Food was lovely but portions were small. I can't put my finger on it but it lacked something. Very small menu choice.

Fantastic meal! Great service and casual atmosphere! Super friendly staff.

Amazing food. Amazing staff. Amazing place. Best pasta by far in the UK. Even better than some places in Italy!!

Loved the food great service, will definitely be coming back!

Really excellent service. Good food and atmosphere. Will be returning soon.

Excellent food, great service. Lamb skewers needed a little more charring

Great authentic Italian food, really surprised considering the exterior looks like a chain restaurant

The best pasta dish I have ever had in my life! Fabulous food, great atmosphere and a lovely team. An absolute must if you are in Manchester.

Great food and great service. The staff were very friendly

Fantastic place, a real hidden gem. Lovely pasta and wine and true Italian staff.

Staff very friendly. Pasta delicious as always, great choice, highly recommend.

As always amazing food and lovely staff, the best pasta in Manchester by far!

Amazing pasta and service, would reccomend! You’ll love it, ciao

We really enjoyed our visit to the Pasta Factory - great food & service.

The portion is too small. The Carbonara pasta is too salty too.

Beautifully prepared food, well informed and helpful staff, in a city centre location. The Pasta Factory is a welcome change from the numerous Italian style restaurants in Manchester.

Distinctly average food given the prices, service was rather slow.

Tremendous food & great people. What more do you need?

Food was incredible and staff good but the restaurant was freezing!!!!!!!!

Great vegetarian options and wine list. Very accommodating customer service

Good options, nice food, little waiting time. Good atmosphere as well

Good pasta, with a variety of specials available and nice wine choices

A fantastic authentic pasta restaurant..staff so accommodating and the food was sublime. Great wine too would 100% love to go again. Thank you

We booked our table before going. The restaurant is very popular and the food amazing..Staff were very friendly would come back here for special occasions.

Spur of the moment lunch date. Great vegan and veggie options and usual excellent service.

High quality food in a refreshingly down-to-Earth atmosphere. Friendly, attentive staff. Excellent.

Recommended by an Italian friend. My sister & I really enjoyed our meal. Excellent food, delicious pasta, lovely honey wine. Fresh bread, gorgonzola & pear salad! Friendly staff. Quick service - we loved it!

One of my favourite restaurants in Manchester, authentic Italian food and experience. Great wines too!

Great food and service, as always. I will be back!

We have dined here numerous times now over the years. My daughter is very particular with her food and always requests we eat here. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. No request ever seem to be a problem. We even plan our visits to Manchester to the opening hours of this place. I, myself isn’t a pasta fan normally but here I would happily eat here everyday. We buy their pasta to take home to continue the enjoyment. Definitely a place to visit not just once but many times more it’s becomes an obsession!

Lovely food, great staff, relaxed vibe. Enjoyed A bit draughty sat near doorway

Hi, really enjoyed our visit to the Pasta Factory, Food was very tasty but the main pasta portions were equivalent to that of anti pasti size. Staff were very accommodating and brought my Husband the equivalent to cheese and biscuits when he asked. I thought the wine was quite expensive compared to other Italian restaurants we have been too.

I have been meaning to go to Pasta Factory for a while & had an opportunity this week. I have tried to get a table as a walk up but it has always been full (a good sign) so once I knew my friend & I were going I booked a table via Quandoo - all very straightforward. The food, staff, wine & whole experience were excellent - I would highly recommend it & will definitely be back for more delicious pasta (the only difficulty will be which dish to pick).

Amazing food, drinks, and service. A great experience. Highly recommend.

Scrumptious dishes and some great wine choices, very patient waiter as we were quite slow to order. Very accommodatimg with the children in our group. A really enjoyable experience. Highly recommended.
