I really wanted to like this place as I love their sister restaurant but... Firstly the service was excellent. very friendly and the wine was great. But the food was average. Small portions and not very flavourful. Sorry Pasta Factory but we won't be back.

I am so fortunate to have authentic pizza and pasta so close to my home. People who work “con passione” desperate to showcase their heritage with us in this area of Manchester once known as Little Italy. This is the real thing. Open your eyes, enjoy and maybe learn a little 🤷‍♂️

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and has good Hygiene standards but none of the courses arrived all together, every time had to wait ages for the past persons meal and they got one of the mains wrong. The squid pasta tomato sauce was very watery. The salmon pasta was nice.

Squid ink pasta and pasta for the mushroom meal was very poor, as if it had been cooked, cooled and warmed in a microwave. Sweet from the specials was poor, the pastry was as hard as a rock, inedible, coffe was good.
