Boozy pasta pop-up Nonna’s Pasta has announced it will be taking on a permanent restaurant space at Deansgate Square.
Bringing wine-infused dishes to Deansgate Square, Nonna’s initially moved into the kitchen of The Green Lab on Owen Street in October as a short-term pop-up before Christmas.
Six months on and it’s still as popular ever, leading bosses to decide that the restaurant will stay on as a permanent fixture in Manchester.
Serving a specially curated menu serving Italian food with an American influence, Nonna’s has become famous for its legendary ‘Nonna Hadid’ Rigatoni Alla Vodka.
Now, as the restaurant moves into a new season it has released a new menu to celebrate the return of warmer weather and, with it, warmer ingredients.

As part of this new menu, diners can expect to find the likes of lobster carbonara sitting alongside a chicken parm-inspired pizza, comprised of buttermilk fried chicken coated in marinara, topped with melted mozzarella and pesto.
Elsewhere on the menu diners will find ‘Papa’s Pasta’, a slow braised short rib ragu pappardelle with truffle and mushroom, alongside a summery pesto-infused burrata.
