The Pasta Factory

Waited for over an hour Mains. Wait staff needed promoting to bring out our staters after 30mins as they had seemingly forgotten about our table. No one was even apologetic about the situation. A shame because the food is good but I don’t I’ll not be returning

a truly amazing place, great food - love going there !

Great food and ambiance. Friendly and helpful service. Will definitely be back!

Excellent meal, as always-it’s obvious that the people here really care about the food they prepare and serve. Lovely, friendly staff.

Really nice pasta! Short waiting time for the food and the atmosphere in the restaurant is nice and not too loud, easy to have a conversation with your friends at the table.

Amazing food! The best Italian food outside of Italy. A new favourite place to eat. Fantastic!

Portion very small for prices. Wine reasonable. Overall just ok

Myself and my brother went for dinner for his birthday. The service was great, the staff are so polite and prompt. I requested a small birthday desert for my brother and they kindly did that for me. Great service

Lovely lunch date at The Pasta Factory. Everything we had was delicious, fresh and good quality. Staff were very friendly. Only criticisms - there could have been more olives on the bread and olives starter and service was a little bit slow in places. Great place though, would recommend.

What a fabulous place! Service fantastic and such a wonderful choice of pasta dishes - different but delicious!

The food was excellent as always but extremely slow service.

I always love going to pasta factory. As an Italian in Manchester, this is the best pasta place! You can taste the freshness of the handmade pasta and they change their menu often giving you choice to try so many different dishes and types of pasta typical of different regions of Italy. The staff is always friendly and professional and whenever I go there I feel back in Italy

Lovely restaurant. Very enjoyable occasion and excellent waitress. Will go again.

Lovely place! Amazing food and so is the staff!! I highly recommend it. I will certainly go back. P.S. It was my first time there and it went amazingly well.

Amazing pasta, great service, lovely relaxing atmosphere and great choice of wine👍

Delicious, authentic food. Friendly, efficient service. Looking forward to my next visit!

Food was amazing and servers were very helpful! Would highly recommend!

AMAZING Highly recommend Especially if you like pasta then this is a must

Very highly marketed, can’t taste the Italian flavor at all

Food was good but customer service was poor. The table next to us arrived later and the server took their order first and ignored us. Walked around a few times and we had to get another waitress to take the order.

Always a brilliant meal. Manchester is lucky to have you ! 🙌

An interesting menu with some unusual dishes - well worth trying.

Fab food, brilliant friendly service, lovely drinks .. great experience and vibe and would absolutely recommend

The food was great, we had the specials and deserts.

Best pasta spot in Manchester and the staff are lovely

Pasta factory is always amazing. The food is delicious and authentic, setting and ambiance perfect. A mancunian institution!

Delicious food and attentive service. Thanks for a lovely evening!

Quirky little Italian restaurant with super friendly staff and amazing food. We ordered the burrata, home made bread, bacon carbonara, beef ragu ravioli and finished it off with an affogato. You can also order carafes of wine which is a nice option too. 10/10.

food was great we will definitely return , great service too

Lovely fresh pasta, good wine and attentive service, all very good

All of the food was delicious, it's also so nice to have so many vegan options to choose from and even vegan parmesan too! The wine was also outstanding. We can't wait to return. Have you ever thought of offering a vegan tiramisu?! (that would be amazing)

Convivial welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, great food and wine. And not expensive. Thoroughly recommend. Cheryl

Really enjoyed out meal at the Pasta Factory. My friend and I had carbonara which was delicious. Very good service. Would definitely go back

The restaurant just needs an upgrade in every way. We were hoping for a memorable Italian experience, unfortunately it did not live up to those expectations.

Had a lovely meal at pasta factory this evening. Food and drinks were amazing and our servers Laura and Francesco were brilliant :)

The food was amazing! The restaurant had a great vibe and the staff were lovely.

Great pasta! Delicious sauces - Perhaps portions could have been a bit bigger but it made up for it in flavour. thanks for a lovely eve.

Friendly good service, pappardelle with chanterelles less exciting than we hoped the sauce a little bland and hard to taste the mushrooms, pannacotta average , we liked the setting

The best pasta I’ve ever had, we can’t believe we never knew this place existed! Can’t wait to go back.

The taste of the food is very authentic, would recommend :)

Every mouthful a joy! This is such a wonderful gem of a restaurant- the specials were amazing!

Possibly too few staff so some delayed service but everything else was wonderful

Staff were fine about us being late! They were attentive and pleasant. The food was good. Atmosphere was good. A nice time.

Slow service, worst cabonara I have ever tasted, and I have had a lot.

Delicious pasta, perfectly aldente. Sauces were top notch too. Probably the best carbonara I’ve ever had.

Amazing home made pasta and amazing lovely staff We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to return!

Loved the flavours of fried gnocchi starter however gnocchi was very tough, difficult to cut. Burrata starter was nice. At least 30 min wait for starter and another 30 mins for main, was not too much of an issue as looked busy however but annoyed when one main which came was incorrect and was hungry by that point so shared the one correct main between us, also so it didn’t go cold, and then shared the second main between us when it came. Also the deep fried olives never came although wasn’t charged for them. Didn’t get an apology for any of it. Would have liked to try dessert however as mains were not finally given to us until 1h 15 after being seated we ran out of time. Loved the squid ink tuna dish and my husband more so the truffle gnocchi. Bit a shame as nice staff, nice flavours and lovely venue but too long a wait and no apology for errors so won’t be back.

Genuinely impressive quality: lively fresh pasta added to taste with wonderfully flavoured sauces.

Great place to eat fresh like home made Italian pasta

Fabulous food and great experience. The servers were very friendly also !
