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.
Great staff and equally great food. Took care when advised of allergies too!
Really great food. Very friendly staff. THE place to go!
Great food ,lovely service and good value. Would highly recommend
Excellent service and delicious food! Would definitely go again to try something else on the menu, recommend the prawn pasta they currently have at the moment.
Food and service were excellent. My only observation is that the choice of main meals seems to have reduced in number. Otherwise excellent for authentic Italian pasta.
2nd time to the pasta factory food very good and different from your generic italian restaurant, the stand out thing for us was the excellent service. THE fowler family BLACKBURN
Incredible food! Would certainly recommend and will be returning in the future!
A really friendly, relaxed place to eat simply great food!
Delicious, great vegan choices. Was mention of a free drink as we were there for my son’s 21st...but seemed to forget.
Food is absolutely spot on, been several times and never had anything less than delicious.
Great food ,and great service ,a must if you are ever in Manchester.
Inside looks scruffy and the menu was very small.Too warm inside too .Walked out want impressed
Very friendly and welcoming staff, the food was great and good value.
Friendly service but unfortnately the food was quite disappointing - one dish had slightly raw pasta, the other pasta we had was a bit overcooked, tiramisu was more like cream cake with ni mascarpone, etc.
Good staff and the food was excellent. I’d definitely say leave room for dessert and Italian coffee too.
Fantastic time. Really hope to go again next time we're in Manchester!
Very authentic, perfect balance of informal dinning but high end quality of food. Staff very attentive and helpful.
