The Fresh Pasta Kitchen in Cheshire West and Chester

WOW! Had a bowl of Arrabiata at Chester market. I eat a lot of pasta and this was the most delicious. I've had in years. Bursting with flavour. Warn, friendly people too.

Had the truffle fries, carbonara and penne arabiata. Truffle fries not nice at all it’s a very odd taste. Carbonara spaghetti only just done and very black peppery. Penne was ok. Overall not worth the £35 we paid for the meal wouldn’t return.

I really hate cold pasta and that's what I got. I couldn't be bothered sending it back (not enough time). The taste was good although the tagliatelli strands were all stuck together. If your hungry - one portion will not be enough. Think of it as stop gap.

Ordered gnocchi. Uncertain as to whether was due to them being busy or is their usual portion. Got about 12 gnocchi portions. Appreciate authentic Italian is small portion but equated to about a pound a gnocchi. Complete rip off. Plenty of nice places in the market that offer better food and better value for money.

Had beef tagliatelle which was excellent. So tasty! Cheese sprinkled on top. Decent size portion, I was full up and did not need a dessert.

This place is hidden jem , fully recommended, amazing food.

delicious pasta, excellent service and impeccable cleanliness 5/5

Excellent fresh dishes, I recommend excellent chefs.

We have been there quite few times now, we had the carbonara pasta which was absolutely the best I’ve ever had, highly recommended.

If you are looking for Italy in the United Kingdom, this is the right place!

Nicely located inside Chester Market. The service was really nice and the people working there had a nice sense of humour. The food was made on point and the cost was adequate. They were generous with the Parmesan! I can gladly recommend this place!

The best gnocchi I've ever eaten! Absolutely delicious, loads of sauce and cheese. Generous portions, quick service and very friendly. Would highly recommend!

Amazing arancini cooked by dec and sal, beautiful food, beautiful people and beautiful service! 💙

The food is great quality and the staff are lovely, the food comes really fast and tastes lovely too.

This place had some of the best pasta I've eaten, bar none. I can wholeheartedly recommend the beef shin tagliatelle, which had a rich meaty flavor and plenty of tender pieces of slow-cooked meat. My partner got the penne, which had a wonderfully sharp, tangy tomato sauce. I'm writing this review in May 2024, 7 months after having my meal here, and I still think about this place from time to time. That's how good the food was!

Fresh and tasty ingredients, lovely pesto and carbonara options - highly recommended!

Been there many times with my partner and always had an excellent experience. Our favourites are Beef Raghu and Carbonara. I’d highly recommend it if you are into authentic Italian food.

We both agreed it was the best risotto we've ever had, absolutely delicious. The penne was also excellent.

That’s one of the best carbonara I’ve ever tried in England! Arancini was lovely, Penne Tomato was so good as well! I’ll probably go back !

Chester market was lovely and staff were friendly. However, the food was left with much to desired - penne arrabbiata at £11.5 was penne in tomato sauce (nothing else) and carbonara came with a few pieces of tiny bacon. I definitely get better value on pasta elsewhere.

We’ve been to the market several times now, and I wish I’d tried this one before. I ordered a daily special and wish I could remember the name, it had beautiful tagliatelle, courgettes and cheese and was absolutely delicious. I wish I had the recipe. I can’t wait to come back and try something else. The chap behind the counter was very friendly, as well being an excellent cook.

Brilliant pasta, best carbonara I've had outside of Rome! Highly recommend the cacio e Pepe too!

Lovely gnocchi with ragù. Friendly staff, quick service and average price.

Beautiful fresh pasta! Such a lovely vibe too! The Broccoli pasta on the socials from time to time is what I live for!

Tried to go here twice. First time was told there wasn't enough staff to serve me. Second time they had no ingredients. I give up. Update: This review is completely true and based on my last 2 experiences (a week apart) walking up to the fresh pasta kitchen counter and trying to do something so radical as order some food. I have removed the no gloves point based on the reply and their handwashing policy.

My only regret is taking so long to try this place. Best carbonara I've had in England!!!

Been there many times with my partner. People are always welcoming, kind and lively. Have tried almost all of the menu but our favourites are Beef Raghu, and Carbonara. Will visit again.

Traditional pasta with a twist and tasted amazing. Went with me and my two kids they offered a kids portion for £7 they Italian guy was amazing with the kids and made them laugh. 100% coming back again for more.

I took the risotto, and my partner took the carbonara... it was one of the best dishes I've ever eaten, a must try, the staff was really kind, honest prices,I will definitely go back

The food was amazing,I had the carbonara and it didn’t disappoint and the customer service was very pleasant they have a very good menu and a good variety of preference

Fantastic pizza, the base was great with the amount and balance of toppings spot on.

I was really looking forward to me Tagliatelle Carbonara. Such a disappointment. The pasta was over cooked and was just a lump in my dish. Cheese was very overpowering. Overall very disappointed and wouldn’t recommend.

This place is awful! I don’t really know where to start but we will start with the food some of the pasta is okay but very bland, also the Risotto was awful it tasted just like salt and nothing else perhaps it was a bad day. They also have an open kitchen plan style as it is in the market but I have seen one of the members of staff handle cash and then put their fingers into the sauce to try I have also seen another member of staff trying the sauce with the same fingers twice without washing, which isn’t the best sight to see. The staff are also quite rude and dismissive but as I said it could of just been a bad day.

A fantastic little joint, the pasta was lovely and fresh, and the fries with truffle and Parmesan were naughty 10/10

Amazing fresh pasta! Our Granddaughter chose penne pasta with garlic, chilli and basil. My favourite is the carbonara, highly recommended!

Amazing fresh pasta! Our Granddaughter chose penne pasta with garlic, chilli and basil. My favourite is the carbonara, highly recommended! Find them in the New Chester Market!

Thoroughly enjoyed my penne aubergine parmigiana. Freshly prepared, served quickly and piping hot. Very good value as the portion was enormous, could have easily served 2 people. Worth a return visit.

Excellent pasta, very fresh. World of difference to standard Italian restaurant fare. Try the carbonara!

This is a great restaurant serving freshly cooked pasta. The food was authentic, fresh and tasted great. All at a reasonable price. If you are in the mood for pasta look no further. Great service!

I have eaten here 3 times now. The first I was impressed. Food delicious. The last 2 times been really disappointed with the food - the pesto pasta was dull and the risotto was so over garlicked it was unpleasant to eat. The server was also grumpy and unfriendly. So will try elsewhere now.

We love a good pasta dish & a good side, end of day service is an excellent chance to see if sevice remsin consistent from start to finish, we ordered a beef shin tagliatelle with a side of truffle fries & thus is what the doctor ordered, after an afternoon of 5 star posh dining we took on the Chester Market in the evening. Fresh pasta kitchen 😋 was in a word Yummy, a good portion both main & side & full on flavour, beef shin melted in your mouth with an accompanying sauce that was delicious 😋 but needed a tab more tang, fries 🍟 are not hard to get wrong, a good chip covered in chives, Parmalat cheese & truffle oil in a winner & these were fabulous, in all we all enjoyed the taste, value, quality & consistency between portions & for a food stall serving end of a busy day, we got your back on this your a winner 🏆 thank you
