Lovely restaurant with fantastic food and nice staff. Reasonable prices and lots of choice, good vegetarian options too. Well worth a visit to The Pasta Factory!
Second time I’ve been here. The food is just so good. All home made. I struggle to eat large meals as I had weight loss surgery, but what I couldn’t eat was packaged up for me in a takeaway box(they do takeaways too!).
Great atmosphere, dedicated staff. Food was great and the waiter helped us to pair our wine. Very well priced. Deli items available for purchase. Would definitely go back.
The food was absolutely amazing - best vegan pasta I have ever had! The staff were so lovely and happy. It was a really great environment. We had a wonderful time!
Amazing home made food, great wine and fantastic service. The home made vegan cheese and mushroom ravioli was delicious. Can't wait to go back again.
Pasta too thick and stodgy. Overpriced for the type of place and location. Service either too keen or completely absent. So many better Italians in the city centre.
Great relaxed atmosphere with attentive staff and a generous Vegan menu! Very much a neighbourhood feel to the restaurant just a stones throw away from the hustle of the city centre. Will be back!
Best pasta in the UK. Authentically Italian and a wonderful atmosphere. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. They wine list was also very extensive.
Excellent service by very welcoming and friendly staff members. Food was faultless- fresh, full of taste and top quality. Great atmosphere too, very highly recommended!
great discovery, food and service were excellent. staff were very knowledgeable and made great recommendations regarding food and wine pairings.
Excellent food, reasonable prices, in a rather central place. I would definately visit again. Do not forget to try their desserts, especially the panacota! Must visit!
The Pasta Factory has to offer the freshest pasta in Manchester - the dishes are simple and delightful. the food is reasonably priced and is great value for money.
Best Italian in Manchester, always quality food and service, 10/10 keep it up * * * * * * * * * * * *
Great friendly service, obviously really care about what they are doing. Menu a little limited but ingredients quality and wine was good. Will visit again.
Great, intimate setting. Clearly take pride & care in sourcing ingredients and preparation. Wine towards the top end in terms of price vs value but overall really enjoyable meal for two.
Easily the best restaurant serving pasta in Great Manchester. The vegan cheese was the night's surprise whilst the beetroot and squid ink pasta where mind blowing, last but not least the forest fruit vegan cake was the great end to a wonderful dinner. The restaurant has a cosy feeling that make you feel welcome immediately, however the big windows and high ceilings remind you that you are on a grand building simply but beautifully decorated. This is a must!
Small friendly atmosphere with great pasta ! Great for a casual meal with the girlfriend. The service was superb and all guests are made to feel welcome. Couldn't recommend it more highly !
A popular place even on a Wed evening. Service very personable with tasty homemade pasta. Only quibble might be pricing, a little high for some dishes. Great coffee
A mixed experience - some of the dishes were great, others really not good. The waiter warned us that the goats cheese ravioli was acidic, but it really just tasted like vomit. Very unpleasant and I'm Not sure why it was on the menu. It's a shame, as the staff were lovely and some of the other dishes really tasty.
Great experience! (found on Tripadvisor) The pasta was lovely (and fresh!) and the personel awesome! We got a lot of information about the menu. Thank you!
Had a great meal at the pasta factory today. Service was excellent, and food really delicious. overall a great place and I would definitely recommend
The ambiance was great. The service was very good. All staff were friendly and courteous. They explained about the food and wine, which areas of Italy it came from and gave their recommendations. The food itself was delicious and we'd have no hesitation in returning.
We went last week 20th October 2017 and both the food & service were excellent, friendly atmosphere and vegan options :-) Good choice of wine and beers to compliment the food also.
If you want fresh pasta, this is the place to go. Different shapes and colours, the Beetroot ravioli with goats cheese was fantastic. Great service too.
Excellent meal - again. Bruschetta starter was very different but delicious. As for the chocolate salami dessert, that’s worth returning for alone! Venison pasta dish also excellent
Restaurant was simply furnished. Food was good. Service was excellent. Drinks and food are very reasonably priced which probably reflects the location in the city. Very much recommended for a good atmosphere and pasta dishes
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
