The only way to give it more ambience is the lighting within the restaurant; otherwise everything else's perfect

Some of the best food I have ever eaten in a restaurant (especially in the UK) and a wonderfully intimate and lively atmosphere, with relaxed and friendly service that made us feel very welcome. Can't recommend highly enough!

Very limited choice. I loved my squid ink ravioli, but my husbands venison ragu was so disappointing - really claggy texture and not seasoned well enough.

Absolutely fantastic as always! Brilliant, knowledgeable staff who go above and beyond every time to ensure that you have a great experience. Joe even let us take a picture of the wine that we drank so we can buy a bottle on sight! Needless to say that the food was stunning as always and it is very reasonably priced. Also, I love the fact that the menu changes a couple of times over the year so that you can always try something new! Perfect atmosphere for almost any occasion and it is somewhere that my girlfriend and I look forward to visiting more often.

Myself and my partner were really looking forward to eating here as we had heard good things about the food, sadly we were very disappointed. The service and staff were very good Unfortunately the Pasta Factory was let down by it's namesake. My partner ordered the venison dish and myself the truffle and mushroom. The pasta in both dishes was overcooked and mushy but even then both were devoid of flavour and bland. I didn't expect them to charge us for anything but we were ushered out with a smile and hope to see you again (they did remove the pasta dishes) but it would take allot for us to try the Pasta Factory again.

The staff and venue were great... but sadly the pasta was stodgy and lacked taste, and it dried out quickly. neither of could finish our meal. One of the desserts was nice but the other - which was sweet pasta - shared the same roots as the main, being a bit stodgy and grainy.
