The Pasta Factory

Food as ever was cooked perfectly. Friendly service and made to feel comfortable. Drinks menu getting better especially the Italian beers. Wine a little pricey

Lovely place, service was very good. They explained the home made pasta selection. The food was really delicious and great value Well worth a visit

The food has always been great and love the craft draught beer especially! The staff were very friendly when approached for recommendations or explaination. Only slight winge is the pasta dishes are dominantly just pasta with very few meat, but must be pure Italian style

It was so good. The food was amazing, the staff cared that you were there and the place itself is so cute. To top it off, they saw we were on a date a brought free ice-cream. Loved it!

Really good and fresh Italian food served by friendly and knowledgable servers. Regional specialities were a pleasant part of the menu and some very good wine.

Perfectly cooked pasta. Delivers exactly what you want and expect. Freshly made pasta with quick service. Cooked al dente and is as genuine as you'll find in Italy.

a very attentive waiter, who was passionate about the food. The food was spectacular & made us feel like we were back in Rome. Authentic!

Food was sublime, fresh and authentic. The service was extremely friendly and not intrusive. Small but great wine list. This is one of the best gems in the city.

Good experience and service was excellent as always. Prices have increased and I would say on the high side for a casual dining experience. This does not detract from the high quality of the food - you get what you pay for.

Lovely homemade vegan cheese and cracker starter. But the vegan mains were bland, flavourless and uninspired with no variation of taste throughout the dish. Due to this, didn't stay for dessert.

The food was mediocre at best, only the side salad was worth the money. The staff was pleasant throughout. Not the highlight of my graduation

Amazing food, full of flavour and as fresh as you can get. The only negative is the service from waiting staff is very slow at times.

Excellent restaurant, one of a kind! A unique non pizza Italian restaurant. Great food, extremely knowledgeable staff and superb meal, looking forward to our next trip.

Always a brilliant place for everyone- they have amazing homemade gluten free pasta, as well as a homemade vegan cheese. Great wine selection, good atmosphere and really knowledgeable and helpful staff. No bad words to say!

Great service, delicious food, amazing Littl cosy ambience. It's our third time here and already planning the fourth. Authentic and best Italian I have ever been.

A combination of great service, food, and wine made for and incredibly pleasant evening. We left incredibly satisfied as always. Great job to the team!

Love this place and wish it was in my home city. Delicious, interesting home made pasta, Italian wines, taglieri (mixed starters) and gelato. Excellent friendly service.

We loved the place .The waiter was really helpful. We had the special which was great and tried 2 of their wines. We will be back to try some more great food and wine.

Great food, the menu is short but delivers fully on expectations b will definitely go back. Service was excellent with staff knowledgeable and attentive. Will definitely go back again.

Great food & wine. Not expensive, uses quality fresh ingredients, and the place was full of italian customers so that must say something. Well worth a trip.

Great informal atmosphere, very friendly service. The drinks were great, lovely house white wine and one of the best beers I have had for ages. Our vegetarian starters were also delicious. For main we both had wholemeal pasta filled with mackerel. This became a bit too much as a main, and my wife couldn't finish. I suspect other mains would have been better. Suggestion that they offer three pasta dishes for two people, with slightly smaller portions so you could share. The dessert wasn't great, quite a dense and heavy pana cotta. Will certainly go back and order the main more carefully next time, and perhaps stitch with ice cream for desset

Excellent service, waiter very friendly and helped with all requests. We went at lunch time and it was unexpectedly quiet, compared to evenings, so he took the time to have some conversation with us. The food is very good.

An excellent Italian restaurant where you can taste the real Italian food as you were in Italy. A small bijou in the center of Manchester. Don't miss it!!!

Pasta Factory is arguably one of the best restaurant in Manchester. They cater for vegan so well that I can only praised them. Kids friendly with a brilliant menu that will keep little ones joyful. Wines is just delicious. Please book to avoid disappointment. Highly recommended

Visited The Pasta Factory last night. Great little Italian restaurant serving excellent food with great staff. Just one downside, the portion size. You don't get a lot for what you pay for (we actually stopped for a slice of pizza after the 3 course meal).

Great service and some unusual options for pasta. However the final result did not fully live up to expectations. my 'creamy' pasta was very tasty but very dry

The food was great and tasted very authentic. Staff working at The Pasta Factory was very friendly too. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere overall.

The food was spectacular! Never tasted pasta like it. We'd recommend it to everyone we know. We're already working out when we can go again.

Fantastic food - taste and presentation. Great team that is enthusiastic without being intrusive. Truffle pasta tasted great and the Gavi di Gavi did the trick.

Pleasant and welcoming staff who introduced the menu welland took time to help with our wine choice. The food was nicely presented and of a high standard. Pleasant surroundings.

Wonderful , very authentic food. The ingredients are high quality and you have a good number of options, even for vegans! the place is cozy and people are nice at a fair price. couldn't recommend it more.

Where we was sat there was a smell of sewage and dampness that put us off our food. Won't go again.🙁 Wine per glass £12 very expensive.

Lovely authentic Italian - well worth a visit. Really lovely pasta - we all really enjoyed our meal before a visit to the arena !!

Great little restaurant within 2-3 min walk of Crowne Plaza Hotel. Pasta fresh and tasty. It does get busy fast, so make a reservation. We had a 6pm reservation and were seated immediately. However, by 6:30pm (Sat night) restaurant was full. We noticed food took a little longer as restaurant got busier, but it was worth the wait. Price was reasonable and would definitely recommend. Lovely choice of homemade sorbets as well.

Pasta factory is honestly the most flawless Italian dining experience outside of Napoli. Excellent service. Great drink selection. Food that defies explanation of excellence. I recommend this place very frequently.

Our meal here was incredible, gluten free options for almost everything and all homemade. The service was lovely and everyone was really really friendly. Nothing bad to say!

Brilliant food and service...love the attention to detail as regards dietary requirements, my vegan diet and my husbands GF needs were well catered for...highly recommended.

Thoroughly loved our first experience at the Pasta Factory, the Ragu was simply sublime and the pasta was made and cooked to perfection! I cannot recommend enough!

Excellent service from the friendliest staff! Made us feel so welcome and really cater for everyone; Meat eaters, Veggies and Vegans! Excellent evening in Manchester

Food was great and service relatively quick considering there was a large group in at the same time. The only negative was we weren't told when we were seated at 5 that the table was needed for 6:30 so we were going to have pudding as well as starter and main but couldn't as the next table was waiting. Staff apologised for this but it was a shame.

Lovely authentic eating experience, shame preferred menu choice had gone, but second choice was good. Good beer choice too, the starter to share was great.

Nothing special!!!! Very expensive for a plate of pasta Wine bad quality and again very expensive Not a good experience for fresh authentic Italian food.

Amazing food and service. Best meal i have had in ages. Great vegan options for all courses. Could not fault any of it. Highly recommend.

The food was really lovely and the staff are always friendly, I have been twice and this has been the same on both visits. Would recommend.

Great food and service, Good location on the edge of the Northern Quarter in Manchester. Small standard menu with daily specials board, authentic experience, recommended.

Good and fast service. Waiting staff has been nice. Great experience, had a very lovely time. Nice and quiet at the beginning and filled up quite quickly.

Very nice restaurant, the pasta dishes are superbly made. A little expensive but worth it for the overall quality of the food. We went on a Saturday night and there was a nice atmosphere to the place with friendly attentive staff. Would definitely give it another visit.

Fantastic experience, great attention to detail on helping us choose wine/food and with knowledge behind the ingredients and techniques used. They have a small menu that they spend a lot of time on and change regularly, so if you like to have a lot of choice this may not be for you, but this was without doubt one of the best Italian meals I've had in Manchester!

Loverly place to eat great atmosphere staff were very friendly and informative about their food and drink would highly recommend to all they friend and family.

Great pasta, good service, amazing desert. The only down side was that we had to wait quite a while for the bill. Would recommend.
