Sud Pasta Altrincham

10/10. Total quality food and flavours. Our second visit this weekend and as tasty as the first time. Also our baby ate for free on the Sunday deal which is a great offer to see. Can't wait to come again and try more dishes. We may even do starters as small plates as the buratta starter with the jam was absolutely sensational.

Normally I’m not too enthusiastic about going to an Italian restaurant. It’s not that I don’t like Italian food, it’s just generally exactly the same. Italian is Italian is Italian….. SUD pasta however is different. Next to Altrincham market, quite a small place so make sure you book - and expect to be sat at a table with strangers! The tables here are all shared. The food…..wow! Hands down some of the best pasta dishes ever. I had the pasta with a very slow cooked beef ragu. Id happily eat that every day. Not the cheapest place but well worth it.

We’ve been a few times to SUD/ SUGO. I think last time was the least favourite in terms of food. Couple of pointers - - bring back the chicken wings they’re increíble. The pork ribs are nowhere near as good - hopefully this is only temporary - No need to add lemon zest on to the olives, quite a weird flavour. The olives themselves were rock solid. Not sure if they were fresh enough. I would recommend big ripe - ideally seedless olives and just use a good quality olive oil and sea salt. Everything else was fine. Service amazing as usual.

I had an incredible dining experience at this Italian restaurant! The pasta dishes exceeded all my expectations and left me completely satisfied. To start, we indulged in the pork belly ribs, which were exceptionally tender and melt-in-your-mouth. The flavor was perfectly stimulating my appetite. Among the various pasta options, the paccheri 'all'Amatriciana stood out as an absolute favorite. The cured pork cheek complemented the dish perfectly, adding a delicious and savory element to the already tantalizing flavors. The staff at the restaurant were not only friendly but also very polite, enhancing the overall dining experience. We were so impressed by the quality of the food and service that we have already decided to return, specifically to enjoy the paccheri dish once again.

sud was on my list for months! i finally made a reservation this week, and was mind blown. although i was a bit skeptical of the concept of communal dining, i was seated next to a lovely couple who i spoke to for about 10 minutes. the server, beatrice, was a darling who only amplified the experience. she helped me pick a wine to go with my pasta- the paccheri with smoky cruschi peppers. the pasta was phenomenal. it was al dente, and smothered in chilli peppers, parmesan, pangrattato (which i learnt was a replacement for parmesan by the poor in southern italy) and garlic. the wine was not exactly what i had in mind, but it was a fine pairing nonetheless. the highlight of my meal though, was the limoncello which was served in a frosted glass! served traditionally, it made me happy to see that the restaurant lives up to its standards of being an authentic eatery. i ended with the caramel tart. the marsala gave it a warmth and subtle fragrance, and the crème fraiche cut through the sweetness of the caramel. a single grievance of mine would be the tart shell. the pastry was a bit too thin was not flaky or buttery. overall, SUD is a restaurant that is worthy of the recognition and love it receives.

So glad that I have found a place where the food not only lives up to what you see on Instagram but surpasses it! The food is fresh, flavoursome and fabulous! Special credit to the meatballs. They are DIVINE, literally the best combination of flavours I've had in a while. Staff are nice too and as a solo diner, I was very comfortable. Will definitely eat there again.

A lovely atmosphere to go with your lovely pasta. This place is usually listed in one of the top restaurants in Manchester and it deserves its top reputation. It's a cosy setup with some outdoor terrace seating (which has cover from the elements), the pasta is home made and comes in more exotic shapes and sizes than the usual pasta dishes you see at restaurants. The sauces are also a notch higher than those you could make at home which makes it a worthwhile trip. All very yummy. The starters and dessert were also great and tasty. I like the wine by the jug option and it makes decent table wine (more for the social aspect drink wise). Staff are polite and attentive. It is popular so you will need to book ahead (a good week for popular dinner times). It really is a great pasta joint and worth seeking out if you're in the area. There's another branch at ancoats.
