The Pasta Factory

Nice people . Fantastic bruschetta, nice pasta, I tried all the 4 types of pasta, they were really nice . You want to feel like in Italy ? Go for it ! 😝 Thank you very much Nice place . We will come back soon

Pasta dishes were great as always. Chef and waiter know their pasta and wines really well also amazing recommendations. Squid ink pasta is definitely a must have.

Pasta served cold. I returned it but after waiting a further half hour for it to be reheated I decided to cancel it. I will not be returning.

Service was amazing. We had the bruschetta, and it was very good. My fiancé had the ravioli and compared it to chef boy-r-dee. It was rubbery and bland. I had the three cheese pasta and it was very heavy on the Parmesan. We ended up swapping dishes and were just not thrilled with either. For dessert we each had the vanilla ice cream, my fiancé had it with a coffee and a chocolate liqueur, and he loved it. We had the house red wine, and it was just ok. I hate giving such a low rating, as our appetizer and dessert were very good. The service was also very good, but I struggle to see how rubbery, bland, and overly cheesed pasta yielded such great reviews online.

Beautiful food as always (been gmhere maybe 10 times), started with the Sicilian chickpea fritters, then had my favourite black truffle ravioli and tried a delicious mango and coconut raw cake with lemon sorbet for dessert. I can’t recommend this place highly enough for great Italian food, easy going atmosphere and catering to vegan and GF diets

Delicious homemade pasta and great staff! We had a lovely evening - make sure you book a table as its quite a small venue and gets very busy!

Something different to your ordinary Italian in Manchester, as Pasta is freshly made and combined in a dish that is unlike any of the traditional fare Staff are very friendly and helpful, confident enough to advise on dishes and wine Would definitely recommend as an alternative and good quality casual dining experience

The pasta is very nice and fresh! I like the octopus salad. It is very refreshing! Would recommend for those who seek for authentic and good-valued pasta in town!

Amazing food! Really Italian! Good laugh.good wine in a carafe. Good rabbit. Good beef. Good pork. All in good pasta. It was a good one and pasta is great

Amazing as always,fast and attentive service and love the new dishes. Had a delicious grappa to finish can't wait for the pizza joint to open

Fantastic service and excellent food, after visiting Italy 6 months ago my expectations were high and cynical and they were blown away, im also vegan so to have such a wide and interesting choice is brilliant, id say the only improvement would be the dessert ravioli would have been nicer as 3 larger rather than 6 tiny and some dark chocolate inside would have been perfect

The food and service were both excellent. Very attentive waiter. Felt like we were away on holiday in Italy. Great choice of beers and wine

Fabulous food, great atmosphere and lovely service. Great knowledge of food and beverages. Made for a lovely evening out. Highly recommended and enjoyed it greatly.

Staff were incredibly friendly and food was amazing! Food was reasonably priced and as a vegan there was a lot of choices. Menu was very clear and I can’t wait to go again!

A lovely welcome and pleasant service. The food and wine was delicious with an unusual selection of very good Italian beer. All of the pasta is exceptional.

Great food, great service, nice vibe. I’ve got to write 25 words minimum so nice wine, good size portions, if you’re going to get a desert go for the affogato ! It was amazing. Chocolate ravioli unusual.

The staff was friendly and we enjoyed the multiple vegan options. Look forward to returning. The bottle of wine complemented our meal perfectly. Easy to find as well.

The staff is extremely friendly and the meals are really tasty. If busy, the venue can get quite noisy but that's still acceptable. Great place, especially if you've got time (or want to take your time) as the service can be a bit slow.

Beautiful intimate restaurant with passionate, knowledgable and very friendly Italian staff. I was recommended the most simple dish on the menu, yet it was delicious and the best tasting pasta dish I had ever tried. Would recommend this place to everyone.

Cosy, down to Earth family-run restaurant serving one of the best selections of home made authentic Italian pasta and antipasti in Manchester. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a laid-back atmosphere make this place special.

Excellent food and Service. A real find in the northern part of manchester city centre. Nice to find traditional italian food rather than the chain restautrants.

The service was brilliant. The wine was lovely. The menu was excellent for vegetarians. The dessert was absolutely delicious. A very nice atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Simply delicious service great food fantastic best Italian meal I’ve had and the beer was amazing would recommend this to anyone and will do so for sure thanks the pasta factory for a simply wonderful meal

Food and service were both really good! The nice and relaxed atmosphere also made for a very enjoyable setting and didn't have to wait too long for the food to be served.

Excellent service from start to finish with fantastic tasing food at a very reasonable price. Loved the atmosphere and the open kitchen. Will definitely go again.

Nice meny, friendly staff. We where very pleased with our dinner and our beverage, nothing to complain about. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere also and for us that’s a plus!

Wonderful service and attitude from everyone there. Highly recommended with good food options and a well sized and priced wine list. Will return for more!

Really nice place with homemade food, they have special dishes of the day. It is better to book, at it gets pretty busy. I recommend it

Amazing restaurant with a lovely, varied menu. It was great to see so many vegan options on the menu. The staff were all great too!

Amazing food and vegetarian choice . All explained to us by the lovely caring staff who want you to enjoy we will be back for sure

Food was poor, and the dish i originally wanted wasn't available, but i was only told that when the waiter came to take our older. He then hurried us into choosing something else. The waitress then cleared our table after we'd eaten, but also took away our bottle of wine which we hadnt finished! I had the venison pasta, and it was far too rich, and very dry. Could've had a pasta sauce from a jar at home for a fraction of the price. Very disappointed after I'd heard such good things about it. Won't be going back.

Wonderfully helpful staff and very attentive. Delicious food, perfect for vegans and GF, and all the wine is vegan-friendly too! A lovely relaxed atmosphere - highly recommended.

Great pasta, cheese and wine. Staff friendly and knowledgable. So many things on the menu sounded great. Can’t wait to go back and try more

Excellent service! Waiter was super friendly and knowledgeable from the onset. Let us taste the lovely italian wines to help us pick. Food was delicious and fresh. Great options for vegans and a little shop where you can buy ingredients such as vegan parmesan and cheese. Definitely recommend and will most certainly be returning

The amazing Italian Pasta Factory is tucked away behind shudehill near to the Northern Quarter of Manchester! The staff are lovely, knowledgeable and guide you through the plentiful pasta dishes on the menu. Today I chose the special Gemelli Integrali con Pesto Di Nocciole made with wholewheat pasta hazelnut pesto aubergine and sundried tomato topped with vegan parmasan it was delicious! Washed down with an authentic amalfi lemon fizzy soft drink I would definitley recommend!:-) x

A cosy restaurant with good not over complicated menu choices - great food and atmosphere lovely staff and deli area also! Wine list is a little expensive but very good wine

Super food, drink and service, with a clear passion for what they serve and for bringing a little piece of Italy to Manchester. Highly recommended.

I've been here a few times and the service is exceptional as well as incredible food! Couldn't recommend it highly enough and it's reasonably priced too.

Amazing food, amazing service as always! Delicious vegan options and the staff are really friendly and knowledgeable. Great atmosphere always. Can't wait to come back!

Wonderful meal in a lovely little restaurant. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoy ourselves every time we come. Genuinely feels like a small piece of Italy in central Manchester.
