Provence

Nonna’s Pasta

Based at The Green Lab in Deansgate Square, Nonna’s Pasta will be open until Christmas, when the pop-up will shut. It offers an authentic Italian dining experience with an excellent, calm atmosphere to sit down and delicious food and drink.

Their menu includes classic Italian dishes with ‘Nonna’s twist’ on it. For example, Nonna’s Cacio Pepe, which is a refined twist on the classic sauce and a particular favourite of ours, Nonna Goes to America, which is mac and cheese with the added ingredient of truffle.

Exhibition

Located in the heart of Manchester at St George’s House, a brand new 6000 sq. ft restaurant named Exhibition is set to open very soon. Situated on the old site of the Manchester History Museum, the restaurant will be comprised of three independent kitchens, two bars and exhibition spaces.

This Scandinavian concept is sure to be a hit once it opens. The main bar even offers Manchester Union straight from the in-venue tanks, as well as a dedicated rotational line for Manchester-base breweries. Overall, it looks like it will be a unique place to go for food in Manchester.
