Saturday 6th January, Rigatoni’s, Manchester’s newest pasta kitchen, is set to officially open its doors for business in Ancoats.
This will be followed by two additional Greater Manchester locations, which will open in Altrincham on Tuesday 9th January and Sale on Wednesday 10th January.
Specialising in house-made rigatoni, the menu at the new restaurants features hearty bowls of pasta starting at just £7.50. The rigatoni is the star of the show, made fresh daily at each site through a bronze die, giving it a textured finish to hold onto the sauces ‘asciutta’ style.
Sauce options include Nduja Meatballs in Amatriciana Sauce (£13.50), FAZOOL! White Beans, Garlic, Fresh Chilli & Parm (£9.50), Brown Crab, Vodka Sauce, and Tarragon (£12.50), or a straightforward option with Extra Virgin Oil, Salt, Pepper & Parm (£7.50).
In addition to the main attraction, Rigatoni’s offers a selection of appetisers such as Fried Mozzarella & Pesto Sandwich (£6), Salami & Potato Crocchette (£6), and Chickpea Fritters with Parmesan (£4.50). Focaccia Toasts with various toppings, including Gorgonzola Whip & Hot Honey (£6), Grated Tomato, Garlic & Salt (£5), or Black Olive & Caper Spread (£5), complete the menu.
Alex de Martiis, co-founder said “Rigatoni’s marks a new beginning for our restaurants. Our aim is to serve our communities for years to come with a quality, accessible and uncomplicated menu.
“So far we have seen an incredible reception for Rigatoni’s, and we are looking forward to welcoming old and new customers into our restaurants over the coming weeks”.
Rigatoni’s is also set to open its kitchen within Exhibition in the city centre this weekend, with Deliveroo and takeaways available from all venues from 15th January.
