Fresh Pasta Worth the Hype in Denton – Ornella’s Kitchen

The only place I’d go back to for pasta in Manchester 🍝

I can totally see why there’s so much hype around Ornella’s Kitchen! They invited me along to their original branch in Denton. Italian food isn’t usually my first choice, but if I’m in the mood for pasta, this is the only place in Manchester that I’d come back to. The flavours here really hit the spot for me, and I’ve had my fair share of pasta over the years, so that’s saying something.

Their mint lamb ragu was just unreal, and I also loved the pesto and burrata pasta, which is one of the new additions to their latest menu.

You can’t go wrong with their famous arancini, but the king prawns were actually the standout dish for me, and something I don’t think gets talked about enough.

One thing that really surprised me was the portion sizes. Even the small portions are incredibly generous, so definitely come hungry!
