The Pasta Factory

Tucked into a Victorian building on Shudehill in the Northern Quarter, The Pasta Factory has been rolling out fresh, handmade pasta every single morning for over a decade, and the love for it hasn't dimmed one bit.

The philosophy's a simple one - using only the finest, all-natural ingredients. Dig into the ravioli del plin al ragù, an egg pasta filled with beef and pork in a rich beef ragù finished with parmesan. Or try the ravioli agli spinaci, a spinach-filled pasta served with a vibrant red and yellow cherry tomato sauce, almonds, and fresh basil.

To whet your appetite, you can start your meal with the burrata e pomodorini or the zuppa di mare, featuring king prawns, calamari, mussels, and seabass in a savoury tomato sauce with a kick of crispy chilli oil.

Every strand of spaghetti and pillow of ravioli is crafted from scratch by a team of skilled Italian pasta makers. Whether you're pulling up a chair for dinner or learning to roll your own, The Pasta Factory feels like exactly the kind of place good food was invented for!
