Pinocchio in Bournemouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Un millón de gracias a mi querido Pinocchio. Gracias a la camarera que nos atendió (mesa de 9 personas) y al manager, que me permitió entrar en la zona de fregado y cocina y revivir momentos de mi estancia allí trabajando los veranos de 1990-91. Habéis hecho realidad un sueño. Sigue manteniendo la misma esencia de siempre. La comida igual de buena que por entonces. Os deseo los mayores éxitos.

Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with the food. The pasta was very blunt, the meat dry and the starters very tasteless as well. Disappointed.

**Amazing Dining Experience at Pinocchio Bournemouth** I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pinocchio in Bournemouth, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The menu is a true celebration of Italian cuisine, offering a fantastic selection of traditional dishes, nothing short of perfection. The pasta was cooked to al dente perfection, and the rich, flavourful sauce was clearly made with love and authentic ingredients. The service was impeccable throughout the evening. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Pinocchio is a gem in Bournemouth, offering an authentic taste of Italy with exceptional service and a welcoming atmosphere. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough and will definitely be returning soon!

Amazing food and the service and friendly vibe was unreal can't wait to come back thank you

Absolutely amazing restaurant superb food excellent friendly staff recommended to all

We always come here whenever we are in Bournemouth. Incredible food and fantastic service in a traditional, old school style Italian restaurant - the way it should be! Would not go anywhere else. By far the best Italian restaurant in Bournemouth. Keep up the amazing work and see you next year!

Came for my 21st birthday with my family and it was just incredible food is brilliant service flawless and staff are polite funny and really made my evening special and amazing I could not recommend them further, well priced incredible eating and just the most amazing staff. I thoroughly has an amazing birthday thank you Pinnochio

Outstanding restaurant with tasty dishes which are truly Italian authentic. Staff very friendly and service was impeccable - owner's greeting was very warm and showed caring which was great to experience. My wife and I both had Calamari starter, which was delicious and a VERY large portion for only £10.00. Cooked to perfection and so tasty, I really cannot praise this starter highly enough. For mains we had pizza, I had a Vulcano which was unreal - amazing flavour and as the name suggests was extremely hot - helps to wash it down with a few cold Moretti beers! Wife had Gepetto with additional olives added. Again outstanding in every way. THIS IS THE BEST MEAL WE'VE EXPEREINCED IN A VERY LONG TIME. The reviews tell you the truth, this is an awesome Italian dining experience.

We went there to eat lunch, the staff were very friendly and treat us sooooo well. We eat pasta, lasagna and pizza every plate was amazing, 100% coming back here

I had a carbonara, my friends had penne arrabiata and it all was amazing. We were sitting inside and we were watching the chef cooking everything, it all is homemade!!

We didn’t know where to go for a meal on our short trip As soon as you walk in this restaurant it is buzzing with a great atmosphere The staff are welcoming and nothing is too much trouble The food is made fresh and you can taste the difference it’s just great food There’s no pressure it’s very relaxing and our meals for a family of 3 was very reasonable. I don’t normally do reviews but for this I had to Credit where it is due we all left with a smile and the feeling of great home cooked food Have a visit you will be surprised

The pasta sea food are to die for ! Unbelievable taste and good amount of sea food 🤤 Service is nice and friendly. Definitely recommend!

Lovely restaurant with a really nice atmosphere and great food.

A really great Italian! We were there with our son and as soon as we entered the restaurant we felt at home: we were greeted by the boss with the well-known Italian hospitality and we were given a table even without pre-ordering. The pizzas were just great and the only "criticism" about the lasagna would be that it was very hot... All in all a visit that begs to be repeated!

The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The service was above and beyond! The food was amazing, freshly cooked and delicious. If you are a fan of sea food I definitely would recommend Antipasto Di Mare Caldo and Gamberoni Alla Livornese. The pizzas were freshly baked and give you the taste of Italy. If you are visiting Bournemouth make sure you visit Pinocchio for your lunch or dinner.

Outstanding customer service, friendly staff, very delicious food, very good value for money, indulgent deserts and very tasty drinks 😍

Pinocchio’s restaurant is definitely well worth a visit, the food is delicious and the service is excellent. We dined there on Sunday, a family of six 4 adults and two children. We were immediately made to feel very welcome. Our granddaughter was made to feel like a princess, and for the first time in a restaurant she completely finished her meal. I highly recommend this restaurant, and cannot understand any negative comments. Thank you for such a fabulous evening, we will definitely return next time we are in Bournemouth.

Great restaurant. Can't wait to go again. ❤️👏😍

What an absolute gem this little Italian is. First time eating here. Attentive service. Perfect food! I'll be back when I'm next in Bournemouth.

We were there twice. Had pizza and pasta. Everything is great!! The house wine red is very tasty 😋 The staff was great. We would eat there again in a heartbeat

The food was 1a, there was nothing to complain about! The ambience and service was awesome. We were welcomed as strangers, as if we were family. 😊 You can immediately tell that this restaurant is run out of love for gastronomy! We went there twice in one week because it was so delicious and we received such a warm welcome. We would dine there again at any time. 😍

Great food and service! Definitely recommend!

We went for dinner with my colleagues and I was nicely suprised with the food, the service was great like it used to be and should. Well done!

A Sicilian/Italian restaurant with fresh pasta (so good) great house wines and a fun ambiance around the original book of Pinocchio. We had a salad, pasta and wine and were very happy.

One of the best experiences in a whole. Great food, lovely staff, all going the extra mile when we arrived on spec

Really lovely food and friendly staff

Lovely friendly restaurant, food ,service and staff were excellent When we’re back in the area we shall return. Thank you

Presentation of the food is excellent, the serving staff were pleasant and tentative and the atmosphere is good. The food was good overall although the small prawns in the salad were straight from the freezer. The pizzas were great, loads of cheese which is always good! Good value also

Amazing place to enjoy a really Italian food, Stuff really helpful we had no book a table and we're starving and decided to ask if possible to come in, at the begining there was no space for dine in but the lady worked it out very well and we had a table and believe me, every one wants to enjoy a delicious food and we had it. Tank you to all the team.

Visited the restaurant about a month ago, not only was the food amazing... But the service was too!! The staff were so friendly and really added to the dining experience. They also handled our very excitable (and loud) children with no problem! Something that you've got to give them credit for.

Lovely restaurant, great food, friendly atmosphere.

First time that I went there. What nice place, owners and staff are super friendly and the food was really good. Highly recommend.

Lovely friendly place, food was lovely, although most of the menu was some form of fish or prawns. But what we had was lovely and their simple salad was divine 😋

The owner of the restaurant lacks morals and has a very provocative style

Best Italian food in the town. Lovely service and realy quality food. Amazing service. Well done. Is really worth it to travel from London to here for a really fresh food and tasty.

Outstanding, wonderful and brilliant. Sam the host was brilliant making you feel like you are a special customer. The rest of the staff were great and the food was worth every penny. I first eat here several years ago, this time twice in a week 👍👍👍 so good thank you. (Sam I felt like you were my long lost nephew) 🫣🤭

Absolutely amazing dinner and service. We went for a walk near the hotel and we couldn’t choose a better place to have dinner. Definitely we will be back whenever we are coming to Bournemouth.

Lovely little place very friendly staff and the food was amazing - will be returning for sure

I had a thoroughly brilliant anniversary dinner there with my wife. The food and service were amazing. We will definitely be visiting again next time we are in Bournemouth.

The food here was delicious and a special thanks to Antonio for being so kind and courteous when serving our meal! :)

Food was great. The staff were amazing and helped us choose the right dish for us because of allergies. Shout out to Antonio who was very helpfull

Every time we visit Bournemouth, we have to go to Pinocchios, the food is just amazing, and after 4 years, it was still just as fabulous as I remember. the staff are just fabulous and very relex and don't feel rushed at all. Every time one of my friends says there going to Bournemouth I always say you need to go there just amazing, one of the reasons we would come back!

Very pleasant experience. Delicious pizza on great dough, also service was excellent. Prices very reasonable. Definitely recommend!

Visited on a trip to Bournemouth, great place. We had a 6 year old with us, staff were so lovely and couldn't do enough for us. Food was excellent, my new favourite place, will definitely be coming back again

Service Excellent. The food was really good , nice atmosphere. Not rushed. It would be really nice if there were a couple of vegan choices on the menu, though.

Superb food with exceptional service.

I've been coming here for the last 30yrs, however I think it has now changed hands, menu cut right down, no tablecloths and not very busy for Sat night. We were a party of 5, all of us so disappointed, our pizzas were burnt on the bottom and very soggy. They did replace one of the pizzas. Never again will we go here. Save your money go elsewhere

Antonio’s waiter was absolutely amazing he was such a delight . Made our experience so memorable. We enjoyed our food so much everything was fresh and the portions were great.

Our server Antonio was amazing 🤩 he was so fun and full of energy. And the food was absolutely amazing would definitely recommend the risotto and the sea food pasta absolutely gorgeous. We also ordered the calamari and the cocktail shrimps which was so fresh and great portion.

Absolutely brilliant. Staff were attentive and friendly and gave great service. The food was delicious. Thank you.

Fantastic across the board ! Will definitely return. Thank you !

Best lasagne, I’ve ever tasted.

Really nice arrabiata ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic Italian restaurant 😋 Warm and welcoming staff with a great manager/owner. Brilliant food from an authentic Italian menu. Perfect venue in every way. Thoroughly recommended 👌

What lovely thoughtful staff. We came in with a small family and they were incredible with them and we had an amazing meal. Thank you so much!

Just had a really delicious meal, very welcoming and service was top notch from Antonio and the rest who served me. Thank you!

Excellent service, delicious homemade food. Great portion sizes. I would highly recommend. Thank you.

We enjoyed our Valentines evening out at Pinocchio's Bournemouth. Antonio, our waiter looked after us very well, with helpful advice and care throughout. A thoroughly memorable occasion. As with previous visits to Pinocchio's, there is an all round ethos with food and service to give the customer the best experience. Looking forward to our future visits.

Amazing food, amazing staff, elegant. We Were served by Antonio who also was our waiter/server in another Italian restaurant he was amazing and also added to our Amazing Night! I have been coming here for years and have always been more than happy. Thank you!

Lovely ‘proper’ Italian restaurant! Service was great, quick and really friendly, not expensive and the food was fantastic. Lasagne one of the best I’ve had

Thank you very much Antonio Mangra for your wonderful service and your kindness. The food was excellent and atmosphere was lovely!

We had the best evening at Pinocchios on Saturday Night. Friendly Attentive staff, food - great flavours and good value. Well worth a visit. We will be back!

The staff are really welcoming and professional with a constant, honest smile on their face. Chefs are making sure the food is authentic and tasteful. I literally had my best tiramisu outside of Italy here... This is easily the best Italian restaurant in town, it is truly amazing!

We walked in as a group of 6. They immediately created a table for us despite not booking. We had quality food and service throughout, and they accommodated personal needs. Pizza was incredible!

Came here on a busy Saturday night without a booking but they managed to fit myself and 3 friends in. The atmosphere was lovely, friendly staff and amazing food! We all had pizza's which were perfection! Loved it and will definitely be back 😊 can't wait to come back l! Thanks Pinocchio's x

Our first visit after refurbishment, what a surprise. Fantastic food and a great service. Will definitely go back. Thanks for a lovely evening

Service was good and friendly, however, that was let down by the terrible soggy under cooked pizza, with extra anchovies which definitely where not extra with only 4 on the pizza, unless 2 anchovies is the normal. Both mine and friends pizza was sent back, when they came back out the new pizza was over cooked and dry with Still with only 4 anchovies after asking for extra. The staff then started to shut the restaurant down around us and clattering and polishing cutlery, poorly managed from above. This lead to unpleasant atmosphere and over all experience. The third person on the table said their food was okay but nothing special. This restaurant used to be so good. new owners please don’t destroy a good well well thought after restaurant.

Fantastic Italian restaurant with classic Italian dishes and 'today's specials'! Pizza, pasta, meat dishes, lovely starters and desserts. Seafood risotto and gnocchi were delicious! Lovely staff and tasty wine! Great dinner!

AMAZING from start to finish. The food was outstanding. My husband and our friend had the calzone and I had chicken with white wine sauce. We all said it was the nicest meal we had eaten in a long time, that is a huge compliment as we eat out regularly. The people sitting next to us had pizza and risotto which looked wonderful. They said they were regulars and had never had a bad meal, which I can honestly believe. The staff were lovely. I am gluten free and was made aware of what I could choose from. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. Unfortunately we live over 200 miles away but we will most definitely visit again when we are next in the area. THANK YOU for making our last holiday meal one to remember.

Special starter mussels, unbelievable, garlic bread was full of flavour, and both me and my girlfriend agree, best carbonara we have ever had!!

Very friendly staff, food was excellent. I would recommend Pinocchio Ristorante in Bournemouth. Thank you very much.

Managed to fit us In with no booking despite it being quite busy on New Year’s Eve! Such yummy food and good service. Highly recommend 🍝

Great Family meal. We would highly recommend.

Came for a family meal before Christmas. Could not fault the staff they was very happy and helpful. The food was lovely we will definitely be coming back in the new year Thankyou for a lovely meal

A lovely family meal had at Pinnochio's . Everyone was more than happy with their chosen Starters, Mains and Deserts . Delicious ! It has a warm friendly atmosphere. Great service by all the staff , and we would highly recommend. Thankyou Team Pinnochio

Had a great meal. Everyone enjoyed it and the waiter Antonio was great. So polite and gave us 5 star treatment. Would come again for sure

This restaurant was close to where we were staying and despite slightly mixed reviews, we decided to discard the reviewers who obviously loved how it used to be. We visited quite early and were really surprised how the place filled up by the time we...

Was in a large group pre ordered 3-course meal for £35. My starter of only 2 small scallops was simply a joke, with no bread. Other starters looked plentiful. When asked if I could have 2 or 3 more, Managers reply was "scallops are expensive". My main was a Veggie Risotto. It really did look like a school meal, or dog sick. It tasted very bland, with a helping of cheese on top . When asked what flavour this was meant to be, Manager replied butter nut squash. I asked why wasn't there any orange bits - he stated it had been mashed into the rice??!! It would have made perfect wallpaper paste, haha. I did get a free alcoholic drink though (but would have preferred a better meal for £35). Deserts were gorgeous though.

Very nice pizza very friendly staff.

I used to love this place. Sadly no more. Since the refurbishment and new owners took over, they have kept the theme and kept a similar menu, so we had hoped to enjoy the meal as we had done for very many years. We were...

Booked for lunch today and wow, beautifully presented tasty food (great that you can see the chefs in the kitchen), impeccable service and quality food at a reasonable price. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing food amazing staff recommend 100% Best place to eat in Bournemouth buy far

My favourite restaurant for over 40 years. Apprehensive to visit with new owners as we have enjoyed many family occasions here since I was 11 years old!Including my 21st and my 50th and many of my children’s birthdays. Went tonight and was super impressed that...

Three of us went for dinner there on Friday, 1st December. Our table was booked for 7 pm and to our surprise the restaurant was fairly busy, so glad we had made a table reservation. Our drinks/wine order was taken and then promptly served. Our...

Friendly service Good Italian food

Amazing food and portions were impeccable. The service made me feel welcome and they were exceedingly excellent so I would definitely come again. It deserves 10 stars!

Authentic Italian - I would highly recommend it.

Very good - nice food and friendly service

Lovely garlic bread with cheese. Great tomato bruschetta. 3 of us ordered pizzas which was nice, lovely crispy base, however the seafood linguini was pretty poor, it consisted of 2 rings of calamari in the tasteless pasta with 1 large prawn dressed over the top...

Been to Bournemouth 100s of times but never been here before, but will definitely be going again. Excellent food extremely friendly but not overbearing staff. Quirky decoration. Lovely evening.

Four of us dined all enjoyed our meals, no complaints

Have dinner here tonight What a beautiful refurb and vibe Had calamari to start and special pasta ravioli with burrata -Mamma Mia what a taste House wine is one of the best I've tried in Italian restaurants! Definitely you need to give it a try...

Excellent 1st class service friendly staff. Lovely to see chef in kitchen from our table. Large portions great menu. Walking distance from our hotel. Welll worth a visit.

Had the most wonderful meal here tonight, 6 Adults 2 children, Calzones, pizza and the pasta were all absolutely delicious, totally recommend it all

Came here on a Wednesday evening. The food and wine was amazing and the service was great, everyone was so friendly. We ordered a pizza and a pasta dish with spinach and ricotta. Would recommend and a great date night spot.

My second visit after refurbishment, can’t fault it . Magnificent food and brilliant service. Thanks for a lovely evening

Das Personal war freundlich, das Essen war lecker und der Service war schnell.

Came here on a Wednesday evening. The food and wine was amazing and the service was great, everyone was so friendly. Would recommend!

5 Stars, One of the best meals I have gone out for in a long time, the service was attentive. Colleges loved it

We received a lovely welcome into a familiar restaurant we used to go to every time we visited Bournemouth and were so pleased to see it open once again, and we weren't disappointed! They kept the same Pinocchio theme but fresher and updated. The new...
