Visited last week and really impressed with extended dining area. The new layout (last visited about 10 years ago) has really enhanced the place and the service and food were very good. Will be returning in the new year.

We live locally so visit various places in the area... Pinocchios is not our favorite place to dine we have had better food and service at other local food establishments. lunch is good here off the special lunch menu, but dinner is rather expensive, the wine menu is varied but again very expensive. 2 starters, 2 main courses 1 bottle of wine. 1 vodka and coke and 1 pint of bitter... £74.00 without a tip

having visited pinocchio's on several lunchtimes and always enjoyed it, i couldn't wait to go at night and raved about how fantastic it was to anyone who would listen, how WRONG i was , table was booked for sat at 8pm and we arrived at 7.45 to have a drink first in the newly refurbished bar area, it was so busy we couldn't even see the bar nevermind sit down to have a drink, after being told we would have a wait of 10 or 15 minutes for our table, we stood squashed with everyone else, 30 minutes later we were seated we had already given our orders when in the bar area and only had to wait 15 mins, we asked for 2 garlic breads one to come with main and one with starter , both came before starter. when starter came 3 out of 4 were luke warm nothing special at all, main course was was ok we decided against deserts and got the bill and left worked out an £25 a head and with 2 bottles of wine expected to pay that but food very disappointing, in my opinion too many bookings were taken and customers suffered, i will stick to lunch times when its quiet.

We visited Pinocchio's last night for hubbies birthday and the 1st time for him - we live about 1 mile away. We were seated as we arrived and drinks brought to the table. I was amazed that the restaurant was so busy for a wintry Tuesday night!
Our starters arrived within 15 mins of ordering - I had spicy chicken wings done with chilli, garlic and peppers off the main menu, OK but not fantastic and hubby had salmon fish cakes with chili dip off the specials menu, which again were OK nothing special........ For mains I had scallop and scampi tail thermidor off the specials menu served with boiled rice, boring but nice carrots and broccoli - again just nice but not WOW! Hubby had guinea fowl with mushroom ravioli off the specials - the pastry was a little too thick for his liking though and again no WOW factor. We were too full for sweets but they did sound good. With one bottle of peroni and a lime and soda, the bill came to £51.40.
Nice restaurant but not our favourite.

What a great little place, not been for years and it appears to have recently been refurbed. Fantastic food, not just your typical italian fayre, I had spicy pork and it was excellent my partner had duck pancakes which were very tasty.
Good wine list and fantastic friendly service, well worth a visit.
Pinocchio's Restaurant
I have been going to Pinocchio? for about 15 years now and it is still my favourite Italian, plus it is close to where I live. The staff are very friendly and also take time to chat with you, never had bad food there, always of excellent standard and the garlic mushrooms are to die for!! It is quite a small restaurant and it does get very busy at weekends but this adds to the lively atmosphere. We love it!! We take all our friends and visitors there!!
