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.

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!

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).

The food was excellent but there was a delay for our table and then it took a long time for our orders to be take and each course to arrive. For those of us visiting for the first time they didn’t get a truly accurate impression of how great the Pasta Factory is.

Welcome and service were great, really nice lads. Bread was lovely to start but no oil on the table. Burrata was lacking flavour as it was fridge-cold. Both pasta mains were delicious pastas but the sauces weren't great. I was told the carbonate would be salty znd it really was! I felt unBle to say anything as I'd been 'warned'. I really support your new place but a few things let it down for us. Sorry.

We were first in the restaurant but 3 other tables were brought food before us, one table had eaten and left before our starters arrived with an apology for the wait. The Burrata starter was a nice mozzarella - but not Burrata. No oozing cream from the centre. The tagliatelle was overcooked and claggy, no discernible truffle flavour. When asked if the food was ok and told it was overcooked she merely gave a brief apology. We were massively disappointed as we had visited a few years ago and it did seem like an authentic Italian family restaurant and the pasta was amazing. Unfortunately this wasn't the case on this occasion, based on this visit we wouldn't return.
