First time at Pinocchio's and we were impressed with the whole experience. It is a nice cosy space and we were served promptly, the food was delicious. The pistachio Cheesecake on the specials was incredible! There was no rush and we had plenty of time to talk,eat and relax. Will be coming back.

The food was very nice, when it arrived, which was over an hour after we arrived. There wasn't a lot of it though. The restaurant itself was nice and the staff were pleasant in general but my friend asked for some extra gravy and was given a speech about how much trouble it would be for the chef to do this and that it would be "a waste of the chef's time".

What is going on here? I have raved on about this place for so long and brought friends here and it has failed to disappoint. However what has been going on as there seems to be a ' can't be bothered' attitude going on . Ok I know we can all have a good time and one bad night should not warrant a bad review, but in my defence I've given them 3 more visits since my first bad experience and last night was My LAST night I will go there. Embarrassing enough they sent wrong drinks over from the bar, starters where fantastic( credit where its due) however they cleared the table brought out our mains, my wife's trio of Monkfish ooked like it was a school dinner and just dumped on the plate and the filling Rosini I had, had as much glare as a dead belly dancer. However they both tasted delightful. Although we sat there ages with them going cold as we had no cutlery. After visiting tge bar some was brought. The bottle of fizz we ordered was still in the bucket unopened, so when we went to the bar for coffee I raised the issues with your man. But nothing no apology no have the coffee on the house just scuttled away and paid my bill and left. I would love to see some vast improvement before I set foot in here again and hopefully they sort themselves out. Quickley

I cannot speak to the quality of service; however, I worked here shortly as a kitchen porter before soon realising the pay was simply inadequate. I explained to my boss (the head chef) that I was quitting and explained why. He then got very vulgar and said things like "you're s**t at it anyway" "you're useless". The food is probably good though.

This restaurant is always a great place to go.....lovely ambience and food is lovely. I have given 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt that they need to update their menu with Vegan symbols next to relevant items instead of just Vegetarian. 10 years ago I would not have expected to see the Vegan symbol in any restaurant but now so many restaurants and take away menus have clearly identified Vegan food so I feel that a restaurant like Pinocchios should have updated their menus by now.

I loved it. We ordered their mushroom risotto and vegan pizza to share. Both were delicious. It is one of the Canterbury restaurants that later closes the kitchen. Friendly and very fast service. Good value for money. Less than £20 with a beer included.

Have dined here for many years and always been satisfied with the prices and quality and quantity of food until now. My Fegatini starter was about half the amount from maybe a couple of months ago. The main course again was a smaller portion. The chocolate fudge cake portion was approx. a barely half inch thick slice which had been microwaved too long. A complaint was met with barely an apology. I know times are difficult and prices have to increase but to reduce the portion sizes at the same time is uncalled for. As a result I won't be returning soon. Don't take your customers for granted or like me you might not see them again for a while or possibly never.

Been before and the food was nice, and good range of vegetarian options. This time was a massive let down and only 2 vegetarian options beyond pizza - vegetarian lasagne and spinach & ricotta pasta. Options I was used to having to choose from in restaurants in the 80s, not in 2022. Food came extremely quickly, was really bland and unevenly heated. Cheese on the pizza was congealed but base was burnt. I really don't appreciate being served pub chain level reheated food at freshly cooked restaurant prices. Will not be returning again.

Staff where friendly and helpful and the service was generally good though we were seated at an unprepared table initially. The food was very good, my only criticism would be the salad garnish could have done with some dressing, but may be I'm being a bit picky. On the whole a very good experience. Will definitely return.

Went on a Sunday afternoon with my son and girlfriend. The welcome and the service were not as warm and professional as usual. I had the goat's cheese starter which just wasn't cooked enough. The ravioli pasta was overcooked and just fell to bits off the fork. The garlic bread with tomato was amazing as always. I'll put this experience down as them just having an off day because it is my favourite Italian restaurant

Not a vegan option noted on the menu but they were really accommodating in suggesting some things that could be adapted. Really simple options, soup or salad, & vegetable pasta or pizza with no cheese. It'd only take a little effort to purchase some vegan butter cheese & milk/cream and so much of the menu could be marked V & VE. It's 2022, I've not been somewhere with no vegan options for a long time, that said staff were lovely & I enjoyed the food they made.

Absolute garbage. I would avoid completely and save your money and get a pizza from Asda which would be a hundred times better. Starters of asparagus, antipasti were both watery and bland with fatty inedible balls of prosciutto. Tomato garlic bread came out with starters despite asking for it to come with mains and was sent back. Carbonara main was burnt, cream had split into a greasy pool under the spaghetti, lasagne had one sheet of pasta and was mainly bland bechamel, cannelloni also bland and had what looked and tasted like corned beef stuffed inside. Tomato garlic bread reappeared and was stone cold as if left on the side in the kitchen. Apart from my son’s crab ravioli the three main dishes were sent back untouched and we chose three pizzas. When they arrived they looked like the toppings had been thrown on without any care, watery bland, colourless toppings and hard crust which was tough to cut through. Pizzas went back hardly touched. Very disappointing food and service, I have eaten here before and had been impressed previously however will not be returning and would say avoid.
