About Vapiano Manchester

Vapiano Manchester is an Italian restaurant at 13 Corn Exchange in Manchester, where the pasta is made fresh each day and every dish is cooked to order. Diners choose a pasta and add or remove ingredients to suit their own taste. Handmade sourdough pizza and salads share the menu, and the margarita arrives uncut with a slicer so diners can cut it themselves. Garlic dough balls and ciabatta are also on offer. A full bar serves cocktails, wines and draft beer, with a 2-for-1 happy hour on cocktails. Seating mixes high tables with bar stools, lower tables with backless chairs and bench seating with backrests. Orders go in by scanning the QR code at the table, or through the staff. Tables can be booked in advance, and salt, pepper, oil and chilli oil are provided on each table.

Customer Review Summary

Friendly staff are the most frequent praise, with several reviewers describing servers who check on tables, recommend dishes to first timers and even lend a phone charger. Food draws warm comments too, especially the chicken Alfredo pasta with peppers, where one diner liked choosing a pasta and adding or removing ingredients. Garlic dough balls, a margarita pizza and a classic lemonade are also singled out, and several mention food arriving quickly and hot. The criticism centres on the kitchen and billing. One diner found the love me chicken pasta short on tomato flavour, and another called the pasta no better than a microwave meal and the ciabatta dry. One pasta arrived well before its partner dish, with no apology. Seating gets a mention for high tables and backless stools, and the pizza arrives uncut, which one reviewer sees as a choice while noting some might struggle. One table ordered during the two for one cocktail offer but was charged for both drinks, and staff first explained it as a service charge before a refund came after several rounds of back and forth.

    “I ordered a margarita pizza, i ordered on my phone by scanning the qr code on the table but if you don't want to do this you can also order your food form the staff if you prefer that. The pizza was delicious but you do have to cut the pizza yourself with the pizza slicer. This can be a good thing if you want to choose how big you want your slices but some might struggle to cut their pizza. They also include salt, pepper, oil and chill oil on the table which you can use. I really like this place and would recommend eating there if you are near one of their chains.”

    “I wouldn’t really bother going here if I’m honest. The pasta was no better than a microwave meal at home. The oil at the table was dirty. The ciabatta bread was dry. Nothing against the waiting staff though, they were really nice. Food wait time about 20-30 min on a Wednesday night.”

    “Went to Vapiano in Manchester for the first time yesterday for a late lunch. We ordered garlic dough balls, I had a chicken Alfredo pasta with peppers (loved the option to choose a pasta and be able to add or remove ingredients) Everything came so quickly and it was so hot so you could tell it was all made fresh which makes it even better. The staff were also super lovely, attentive and friendly Honestly one of the best pasta and dough balls I’ve ever had. We’ve already said we will definitely be returning!!”

    “Glad we booked a table so we didnt have to share with others! Seating does need looking at as alot of high tables with bar stool like seats and lower tables with also same backless chairs. We were able to move to a table with a bench seating with a back rest. Food was amazing and quick service! Would visit again”

“Nestled close between the Arndale, Football Museum, Victoria Station and AO arena, there's always a great vibe down at Vapiano Manchester We make our own pasta every day, and every dish is cooked to order, so you can personalise it exactly as you like it. Extra garlic? Sure. No mushrooms? No problem. We've also got our handmade sourdough pizza, super salads and a full bar with cocktails, wines and draft beer. Spacious with both large sharing tables and cosy lounge seats. You sit where you like, and stay as long as you want. Simply scan the QR code once in, and we'll bring the food to your table.
