Another great meal at the Pasta Factory, my partner was over the moon with her Mushroom and Truffle Ravioli. She stated it was one of the best pasta dishes either meat or vegetarian she had ever eaten.
We went here to celebrate my boyfriends birthday after hearing great reviews of this place. The service was excellent, the waiters were very friendly and came over a few times asking if we wanted another drink or if everything was alright. We were expecting a bit more of a cosy setting, but it just felt more like a place where you can drink a coffee and have some cake. The main meals were excellent, the sauces were creamy and the flavours worked all together. Unfortunately the starters and desserts were quite disappointing. I had the three crostini, and one of them was ok, but the other two were just bland. The desserts (chocolate pasta) were very tiny and the sauce was hard to scoop up from the flat plate. The Italian cola was very nice as a drink, and boyfriend's cider was very tasteful. We thought it was a bit overpriced. If the starters and desserts had been good it would've been a different story.
Fantastic as always. Special thanks to Luca for great service.
Excellent pasta! I really enjoyed it. I will be back!
Great service and incredible food Would highly recommend Definitely need to book though as very busy
Great place, naturally smiley staff and awesomely authentic home-made food!!
Good quality unpretentious food, with plenty of choice for vegetarians. Slightly disappointing desert choices.
Great pasta. great service. Does what it says on the tin. As long as you are happy with pasta it is brilliant. Great for veggies and vegans too.
I visit as often as I can because I love everything about it.
Great staff and equally great food. Took care when advised of allergies too!
Really great food. Very friendly staff. THE place to go!
Great food ,lovely service and good value. Would highly recommend
Excellent service and delicious food! Would definitely go again to try something else on the menu, recommend the prawn pasta they currently have at the moment.
Food and service were excellent. My only observation is that the choice of main meals seems to have reduced in number. Otherwise excellent for authentic Italian pasta.
2nd time to the pasta factory food very good and different from your generic italian restaurant, the stand out thing for us was the excellent service. THE fowler family BLACKBURN
Incredible food! Would certainly recommend and will be returning in the future!
A really friendly, relaxed place to eat simply great food!
Delicious, great vegan choices. Was mention of a free drink as we were there for my son’s 21st...but seemed to forget.
Food is absolutely spot on, been several times and never had anything less than delicious.
Great food ,and great service ,a must if you are ever in Manchester.
Inside looks scruffy and the menu was very small.Too warm inside too .Walked out want impressed
Very friendly and welcoming staff, the food was great and good value.
Friendly service but unfortnately the food was quite disappointing - one dish had slightly raw pasta, the other pasta we had was a bit overcooked, tiramisu was more like cream cake with ni mascarpone, etc.
Good staff and the food was excellent. I’d definitely say leave room for dessert and Italian coffee too.
Fantastic time. Really hope to go again next time we're in Manchester!
Very authentic, perfect balance of informal dinning but high end quality of food. Staff very attentive and helpful.
Delicious food. The place was packed but service was still excellent. Love this place - will be back again.
Great food, service along with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great atmosphere
Meal was v good. Restaurant busy staff were attentive and helpful
Good food but very noisy so could not Hear waiter ......
Best Italian I've ever had and the service was first class!
This restaurant came highly recommended to me but I was very disappointed in the food. It was flavourless and took the definition of “al dente” to a new level. It was difficult to enjoy the pasta when it was so al dente that it stuck to my teeth.. unfortunately I won’t recommend this to friends or family and won’t be returning.
Good lunch with colleagues. Usual laid back, friendly vibe and excellent food.
This is a really lovely restaurant and the pasta was great as you'd expect. The service was especially good. We will definitely be going back.
Amazing food and amazing service. A new favourite for us!
Lovely place to dine for couples and small groups. Great hospitality from staff.
The service was excellent and the food exquisite. Reminds me of the places I use to go to when I lived in Italy.
Fantastic authentic Italian restaurant. Not at all pretentious, just great food and drink. Love it.
We both just had a pasta main course. The Ricotta green ravioli in particular was superb. Thanks to using a Manchester Confidential voucher it was great value. If we had not had the voucher it would not have been a particularly cheap meal. It would be nice if they offered some house wines below £20. Would return with a voucher.
Service very slow and our main courses were nothing like the description in the menu
