Nonna’s Pasta closes only three months after announcing permanent spot at Manchester's Deansgate Square

Nonna’s Pasta has hung up its apron only three months after announcing it was taking up permanent residency at Deansgate Square.

The American-Italian restaurant and bar, famed for its freshly made pasta, originally launched in Manchester City centre’s affluent neighbourhood as a temporary pop up in October last year, but proved so popular that in April they announced they had decided to stay.

A new menu was even crafted to celebrate the news. New additions included lobster carbonara, lasagne spirali - spiralled lasagne for two people to share - and chicken ate the pizza - a chicken parmo - with buttermilk fried chicken coated in marinara sauce and topped with melted mozzarella and pesto. They also launched a new cocktail menu to coincide.

Located at the bottom of East Tower at Deansgate Square, the homely restaurant claimed: “Innovation is our specialty. Give us a normal carbonara and we elevate it to a Carbonara with lobster bisque, prawns, scampi and grated cured egg yolk.”

But the restaurant recently posted on social media that “Nonna is hanging up her apron for now and taking a break.”

The restaurant alluded to it not being quite the end for the restaurant saying: “We are not sure when and where but Nonna will be back.”
