The Pasta Factory

Great special board choices and the quality was exceptional as usual.

The food was really great, my partner is vegan and they had a good selection of vegan options. The recommendations from the wait staff were really good and informative and we both enjoyed them.

Amazing food. Not been for a while as I live out of town. So glad we returned as the food is better than I remembered.

Pleasant staff, good pasta and gnocchi mains. Octopus starter on specials menu a little expensive for what it was. A bit chilly in restaurant. Take a jumper!

Food was nice but nothing amazing. Extremely small portions and not much to choose from. Didn’t even stay for dessert

Great as ever. Fantastic homemade food, good wine & friendly service

Best pasta I've eaten in a long time and really fab staff.

The food was excellent but there was a delay for our table and then it took a long time for our orders to be take and each course to arrive. For those of us visiting for the first time they didn’t get a truly accurate impression of how great the Pasta Factory is.

Friendly staff, really great food. Thanks for being so accommodating

Welcome and service were great, really nice lads. Bread was lovely to start but no oil on the table. Burrata was lacking flavour as it was fridge-cold. Both pasta mains were delicious pastas but the sauces weren't great. I was told the carbonate would be salty znd it really was! I felt unBle to say anything as I'd been 'warned'. I really support your new place but a few things let it down for us. Sorry.

Loved it. Excellent food/wine and really pleasant people working there. Just delightful!

Delicious pasta dishes with a great selection of drinks and a banging tiramisu.

Arrived at 5. Was not sure about buzz. But picked up. Food was great. Desert wine fab along with boozy affogato. Buzzing when we left. Would go again.

Waiters were both very lovely, food even lovelier! Thanks very much

Great food & drinks. Service was fast & friendly as well!

We were first in the restaurant but 3 other tables were brought food before us, one table had eaten and left before our starters arrived with an apology for the wait. The Burrata starter was a nice mozzarella - but not Burrata. No oozing cream from the centre. The tagliatelle was overcooked and claggy, no discernible truffle flavour. When asked if the food was ok and told it was overcooked she merely gave a brief apology. We were massively disappointed as we had visited a few years ago and it did seem like an authentic Italian family restaurant and the pasta was amazing. Unfortunately this wasn't the case on this occasion, based on this visit we wouldn't return.

We had a fantastic meal - delicious pasta and a lovely atmosphere

The staff were helpful and friendly, the wine selection great, and the food tasted amazing!

Stefano is lovely! So knowledgeable and friendly, really tailored the experience for us

Beautiful fresh pasta and a great selection of Italian wines in a relaxed and welcoming setting. ⭐️

Staff so welcoming and friendly a beautiful well kept restaurant and food ti's amazing 👏 😋 well done..

Fantastic food and great service Staff very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was excellent

Atmosphere and service great. Food mostly good, pasta was a bit claggy. Price not too bad.

The waiter was brilliant and enthusiastic. The experience was authentic and the food was outstanding.

Amazing quality and choice of food on the menu and the specials are always a treat!

Such as nice restaurant, will recommended to friend and visit again

If you like fresh pasta you must visit The Pasta Factory. Many dishes are totally original others provide a contemporary slant on traditional favourites. Ingredients are fresh locally sourced or authentic Italian imported directly. A small but varied Italian wine list featuring mainly indigenous grapes with almost all wines available by the glass or carafe. Friendly staff are happy to explain and make recommendations. The first experience for my friends and we’re already planning our return

We always have a delightful time at pasta factory, with many delicious veggie and vegan options the food, ambience and service is brilliant.

Amazing food as always! Great quick service! Will be back again.

The food was fantastic - incomparable Service disappointing throughout including after paying £250 - don't want fawning but please show interest! The food, though: just wonderful!

The food was nice but the portion sizes weren’t consistent. I ordered the rigatoni ragu, and expected proper beef. Instead it was mince meat like meat, and the portion was a lot smaller than my friends, it also wasn’t spicy despite being advertised as spicy with the Nduja. It was nice, but I’m in no rush to go again.

Great food, friendly service, as close as you’ll get to a true trattoria experience in the city centre, loved it

Amazing vegan dishes with multiple options for all three courses, even dessert!

Friendly staff, good food, comfortable atmosphere. Will return and recommend

I've been visiting The Pasta Factory for over a year now and it's consistently services amazing food and great service, always feel welcome, the staff are always nice, and most importantly the menus are always great! It's become one of my favourite restaurants in Manchester - best pasta in town!

Absolutely bang average, nothing more and VERY expensive. Not impressed.

Simply amazing food and service.. Great vegan options. Lovely people.

Friendly staff, delicious food and wine. Great value, looking forwards to our next visit

The menu selection, though limited is very good and the quality and taste is amazing!!

First time here and enjoyed every course, especially the Reginette al Ragu, N’duja E Gorgonzola and the fig and walnut Affogato to finish, will definitely be back.

Lovely homemade pasta, good service Nice & chilled. Coming back next week

Best pasta in Manchester 10/10. Good value for money as well

Excellent service. Excellent meal and wine. Nice ambience friendly staff.

Totally superb food and service. We have waited 3 years to get back. It was worth the wait. Thanks to Jeff Beck for this delayed trip to Manchester. Please do go and eat.

Great little restaurant which had a nice rustic feeling. The food was really good and the service was helpful and spot on. Will go back once back up that way again

Good service pleasant staff. Average food. Pleasant venue with a good vibe

delicious food, great atmosphere. will visit again for sure! thanks

I really wanted to like this place as I love their sister restaurant but... Firstly the service was excellent. very friendly and the wine was great. But the food was average. Small portions and not very flavourful. Sorry Pasta Factory but we won't be back.
