Fantastic food and service once again. The standards have never dropped since opening, my go to restaurant in Manchester for top drawer food and wine it just never lets you down!
Always an amazing experience at The Pasta Factory. If you want fine Italian food with amazing service then this is the place to go!
Unbelievable pasta quality, great staff and atmosphere! We came on the back of a growing reputation in Manchester for the best pasta and attention to detail and left with an even better experience. Fabio the waiter sets the tone and is at the top of his game knowing the menu inside out, the wine list and menu are completely unique and the pasta is unbelievable, definitely recommended and will be back!!
Fantastic food as always, pasta was delicious. Waiter was very helpful, and provided some off-menu wine which was amazing and complemented the food perfectly. If you haven't been here you are missing out!
Everything was amazing. From the moment we got there there were really kind and helpful. The atmostphere was incredible and food out of this world. I recommend this place to my friends all the time and will keep celebrating my special occasions there =) Grazie mile
Pasta made fresh daily always interesting flavour combinations not found elsewhere. Starters also very good. Desserts limited
ALWAYS GREAT, ALWAYS VIBRANT. WICKED GOOD FOOD AND GREAT DRINK SELECTION!
So many kinds of pasta .taste good and special .Recommended!
Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Cannot wait to go back!
Outstanding food and great service. Would definitely go again and recommend trying
If I want to have a great meal accompanied by good wine and immersed in a warm atmosphere in Manchester, that's the place I always go. The quality of food is excellent - this time the star was a green dream of spaghetti with a creamy, nutty sauce and basil (oh the the fried zucchini on top!). Fresh pasta, attentive service, can't ask for more. Trust me, I'm Italian.
They are serving amazing food and have a super friendly and happy team. Ordered the mushroom ravioli as main course and what a great dish.
Excellent! It has been our first visit to this restaurant. The food and wine were very good and the staff very friendly. A real Italian experience in Manchester.
My partner and I dined here on Valentine’s Day. We had to amend our booking time twice due to the horror of having to deal with inevitable Transpennien Express cancellations. The staff were fantastic in accommodating this. We both had the Vegan set Menu (even though we aren’t vegan) and it was quite simply superb. The service from Luca was also a highlight. Would highly recommend.
Una boccata di casa in terra inglese . Beavi ragazzi continuate cosi . E a quelli che vi chiedono il pollo sopra i ravioli al tartufo ... beh mandateli a c.....re
Always great food and service at Pasta Factory. Have brought family and friends here and they all love it. Also they have a great deli counter where you can buy their pasta, or cheese/meats. I always get a tub of nduja when I go in.
Delicious and authentic, really enjoyed the evening. I had gnocchi and a lovely Italian wine.
Friendly staff with great service, good food but quite pricey. Would go here again if they had an offer on, excellent options for vegans and vegetarians.
The food is great- really authentic and unusual Italian dishes. You feel you are getting the real thing. The staff are helpful and service is good. The only reason I gave it a rating of 4 is because they don’t serve any side dishes such as vegetable or salad, which I found a bit weird.
This little place is lovely, the food great, not a large menu, and the staff attentive but not too much. We had a lovely time.
Fantastic little restaurant with great service. The staff are really friendly, the wine is good and the pasta is delicious, all for a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend!
Absolutely amazing food and excellent service from Luca. The bucatini negro was to die for, but there were also loads of great vegan options and the mushroom and truffle ravioli with cashew cream was especially good. Will come back soon!
Brilliant food as always, specials were very nice. Also note the staff were fantastic, providing recommendations / generally being friendly and attentive. Overall had a great experience.
Great experience. Will come again. Great atmosphere, great service and the food. I think this is actually the most authentic place when it comes to pasta.
Only our 2nd time at the pasta factory & it didn’t disappoint just as good second time round can’t wait to return. Amazing pasta dishes fab wine & wonderful service...... can’t wait to return 👍
Fantastic food, great service, can’t fault a thing. I was a little nervous being a vegan this was completely unnecessary, the staff know their products, . Even left with vegan cheese bought from their deli 😀 will definitely be going back
This was my first time to Past Factory and I was very impressed. The food was delicious! Slightly more expensive than other Italian restaurants but happy to pay for the freshness, authenticity and the fact that it's independent. The service was a little slow but they were very busy (every table was full) so understandable. However, when the staff were serving they were lovely - very friendly and knowledgeable.
Unique, Creative and Simply Amazing! Warm and welcoming atmosphere, friendly and professional staff! Great choice for vegans and vegetarians as well! 10/ 10 would recommend!
The staff and the food are the best in this place. Very tasty pasta dishes, cooked in the tradiciontal way for a reasonable price. On top nice limoncello
Fantastic, very swift and friendly service, thank you. Oh and the pasta was sublime! We love the vegan parmesan cheese. We popped in before seeing a gig at the MEN.
Amazing and attentive service and DELICIOUS pasta! Lots of veggie and vegan options. Really friendly staff who were enthisiastic and passionate about their food and drink, which was really infectious. Lovely and relaxed environment. Thank you! Can't fault it. Can't wait to come back and try some more dishes!
Amazing as always! The food here is unlike anything else you will find in Manchester - it tastes amazing and is reasonably priced, and feels genuinely authentic every time. Fabio, our server, is super friendly and almost feels like a friend at this point, as he is so welcoming and bubbly every time we see him - we feel properly invited in. Honestly, if you are looking for your new favourite restaurant, this is the place to eat; amazing food, fantastic atmosphere and phenomenal service.
We visited yesterday, the food was very tasty & authentic, the waiter was very polite and courteous, especially towards my mother, will visit again soon.
Love Pasta love the Pasta Factory We just loved the atmosphere , ambience and the staff, this was our first visit with family it certainly won’t be our last,
Really delicious pasta and the waiter was very knowledgable about the menu and happy to accommodate us, good atmosphere too. We will definitely be going back!
Firstly the restaurant is very nice and spacious although I would say it’s trying to be too trendy. Service was excellent, staff made you feel very welcome. However I was very disappointed with the food. Two meat dishes out of 8 (and one was the special). If you’re vegetarian or want gluten free you can know yourself out here but not my cup of tea. I like a hearty pasta dish (be aware there were no pizzas here!). I ordered the venison. Very strange taste so strange I couldn’t finish it. My companion adored better with the lasagne. I had the mozzarella with sundries tomato to start. This was tasty but could have done with more bread, two small pieces of bruschetta wasn’t going to cut it! Overall I was rather disappointed as it wasn’t quite what I expected. Think I should have gone to Pizza Express!!!
Excellent pasta as usual. Cramped seating and increased prices make it less value for money than what it used to be. Hopefully they can pull it around as the food is delicious.
Fantastic food, service and atmosphere as usual, you won’t find better pasta in Manchester. I highly recommend the pasta factory to anybody, you’re guaranteed to have a fantastic meal.
As always, had a brilliant experience at Pasta Factory, food was fantastic as where all the staff. Could not recommend enough, if you are in Manchester and like Italian, try it!!
We had the bruschetta for starter and the filled mushroom ravioli with truffel for main. It was absolutely delicious and very good service! Mille grazie!
Great atmosphere, great tasty food, wonderful helpful friendly staff. Have brought several people back as the food was so yummy and my mum loved the server!
Great staff Fresh food Buzzy atmosphere A bit of Italy in manchester that we'll be returning to soon. Perfect for kids as well. Yum yum
Delicious food and fabulous service. The porcini and truffle ravioli are to die for. The staff is friendly, polite and competent. The drinks choice is good too. I'llback soon.
Excellent meal and very friendly staff. All in all a good night! I liked how the menu had a good variety and choices for vegetarians and vegans too.
Food and customer service excellent. Friendliest restaurant we have been to in Manchester City Centre. Very good range of vegan, veggie and animal dishes. Would definitely recommend.
The food is always good, staff is friendly. Our table was put in am awkward place, but this is just a small detail. Looking forward to coming back soon!
Amazing food, amazing wine, great staff. Fantastic vegan menu. The Pasta Factory is by far my favourite restaurant in Manchester! Looking forward to my next visit.
