Nice place, happy staff. Good food and Wine although a little cold in the restaurant and the lighting was a little too strong for me. Overall, nice 👍🏼
Great authentic pasta and lovely staff. Not our first visit won’t be the last.
Amazing, never fails to deliver on quality and personable friendly service
Very friendly service, excellent and varied authentic menu, great location.
Excellent pasta and great atmosphere - a must visit in Manchester
Some of the best food I have ever eaten in a restaurant (especially in the UK) and a wonderfully intimate and lively atmosphere, with relaxed and friendly service that made us feel very welcome. Can't recommend highly enough!
Been twice in a week! Best pasta in Manchester And staff excellent and very informative Well worth a try
Very limited choice. I loved my squid ink ravioli, but my husbands venison ragu was so disappointing - really claggy texture and not seasoned well enough.
What a wonderful place to have dinner! Staff were really attentive and informative. Fresh pasta dishes. Great range of vegetarian options. Affordable prices!
Great service and great food. Every time we've been have really enjoyed it :)
Very disappointing, Food was undercooked and cold . It was over priced too.
Great staff, great food and the vegan options are amazing
Excellent food. Great staff showed good knowledge and interest in the menu. Highly recommended
Absolutely fantastic as always! Brilliant, knowledgeable staff who go above and beyond every time to ensure that you have a great experience. Joe even let us take a picture of the wine that we drank so we can buy a bottle on sight! Needless to say that the food was stunning as always and it is very reasonably priced. Also, I love the fact that the menu changes a couple of times over the year so that you can always try something new! Perfect atmosphere for almost any occasion and it is somewhere that my girlfriend and I look forward to visiting more often.
Great food, great service, great wines. Proper Italian food cooked deliciously
Nice people and traditional Italian food nothing to complain about.
Very welcoming and warm staff! Great veggie and vegan options
Food and staff were amazing, as always :) thank you!
Excellent food great service and just overall a great experience
My son and I enjoyed the pasta - he is veggie, there was a good selection. The choc ravioli/fig/ coconut pudding was great.
Great service and amazing authentic Italian food. I love this restaurant.
Fantastic as ever. Great food, quick service and reasonably priced.
Myself and my partner were really looking forward to eating here as we had heard good things about the food, sadly we were very disappointed. The service and staff were very good Unfortunately the Pasta Factory was let down by it's namesake. My partner ordered the venison dish and myself the truffle and mushroom. The pasta in both dishes was overcooked and mushy but even then both were devoid of flavour and bland. I didn't expect them to charge us for anything but we were ushered out with a smile and hope to see you again (they did remove the pasta dishes) but it would take allot for us to try the Pasta Factory again.
Yummy, traditional pasta with lovely super smiley staff who made such a relaxed & unrushed atmosphere! One of the best meals I’ve ever had!!
The staff and venue were great... but sadly the pasta was stodgy and lacked taste, and it dried out quickly. neither of could finish our meal. One of the desserts was nice but the other - which was sweet pasta - shared the same roots as the main, being a bit stodgy and grainy.
Great Chick pea street food starter. Main courses good portions-very tasty, original flavours. Jesus the waitress was very helpful and knowledgable . Will visit again
On a dreary Tuesday evening we found a perfect piece of Italy. The food is simply to die for. The service is friendly and attentive. Thank you Valeria. Basically you can’t say anything but positive things about this lovely restaurant
Truffle ravioli was incredible. Lovely food and the service was spot on
Lovely staff with great food and atmosphere. Nice intimate space.
Nice place and service, but standard food not being extraordinary
Really enjoyed the food, ambiance and the staff were really friendly and couldn’t be more helpful thanks
First time visiting and will not be the last, everything we ordered was tasty and delicious the staff were helpful and great too. Amazing place
Fantastic food in a charming venue, served by passionate staff delivering high quality service. Can’t wait to go again.
Food, service and drinks were all excellent - couldn't ask for anything more!
Authentic Italian-run with delicious fresh pasta and all dishes (we have 4 different ones between us) were full of flavour and made with love. Can't wait to go back to try more!
The best pasta in Manchester and the best staff. Delicious
Pasta is pretty average. After I had a few bites with the first order, I stopped. Then I order another one and hope it would be better. But unfortunately not. Very disappointing
Excellent as it always it, food wine service atmosphere all top notch
Booked a table for 2, great service and food and very reasonably priced
Very delicious, will be back again in future. Thank you!
Took a friend for a bite to eat. All freshly made pasta. Nice place and staff 👍
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.
