What mattytColchester likes about Pinocchio:
We had a great experience at this Italian restaurant. My wife loved her Vongole dish, though my pizza didn't quite feel authentic. The wine was affordable and the service, while quirky at times, was friendly. Overall, it was a good value meal and we would definitely return. View all feedback. What Ggraham04092010 doesn't like about Pinocchio:
It 's been a while since I 've been to Pinnochio 's but always remember it fondly. I 'll start with the positive: the restaurant is decorated in a traditional style and its warm and welcoming. However, the service was slow, so much that we only had 10.minutes to eat our main course, despite giving ourselves one and a half hours (we had show tickets). I told the staff several times to which the reply was: 'It 's on it... View all feedback.

Despite the shabby chic exterior the food and service is excellent. Came here twice on our visit to Newcastle and would definitely recommend.

Pinocchio Italian Restaurant offers a mix of experiences that can leave diners divided. While some appreciate the charming, traditional decor and friendly service, others lament long waits for food and inconsistent quality. Many patrons have reported unfortunate incidents of being cramped and served bland meals, with notable delays and mix-ups with orders. Despite these drawbacks, others have enjoyed flavorful dishes, particularly seafood, and have praised the reasonable prices. The location near the theater is a plus, making it a go-to for pre-show dining. However, the overall inconsistency suggests that potential guests may want to proceed with caution.
