delicious food, great range of vegan options, lovely (and all vegan!) selection of wines!! only minor problem would be the level of noise in the restaurant, we felt like we had to keep raising our voices to hear one another. regardless, the meal was incredible and would definitely go again!

Service excellent. Didn’t like being sat right next to the toilet and the door was really squeaky. Some of the dishes were lovely. My courgette pasta was a bit sickly and the gnocchi bland.

We have visited pasta factory a few times and unfortunately this visit wasn’t the best. The special was meant to be a prawn and pasta dish and came with 2 prawns and over cooked pasta also very dry. The gnocchi was bland. Staters came with really stale bread. I used to love this place but I think it needs a bit of attention. On the up side the staff were really friendly and my dish was lovely. Shame it wasn’t the same experience for the rest of the guests. Don’t think I will be going back.

Service was brilliant. I was on my own in a restaurant full of couples and the staff made me feel just as welcome as any other guests in the restaurant. And the food, oh my it was delicious, simple yet oh, so tasty! I liked it so much I am taking my Mum and Sister next week.

As usual, excellent food which is different from your run-of-the-mill Italian and which caters equally for vegans, veggies and meat eaters. The service is great with plenty of information provided about the dishes etc. Noise levels can be a bit high due to the nature of the building but generally it is not too loud to prevent conversation. Good atmosphere.
