The best Italian restaurant in the town! Every pizza is fabulous, as you can taste the good quality of flour and cheese. We also love the Carbonara so much. Highly recommend the food there. However do not expect high for a fine dining experience. The tables are close, sometimes the class is just beside you, so…just enjoy the food xxx

A cosy restaurant with very attentive and friendly staff. Our dinner was delicious, lasagna and spaghetti carbonara. For desert we had the tiramisu, torta della nonna, espresso and hot chocolate, everything was very tasty. The only suggestion for improvement is that the music was a little loud and not really the best fit for a cosy Italian atmosphere. But overall a very nice evening, thanks to the wonderful staff.

Honest review.. Food did taste good but main portion sizes are small and sauce to pasta ratio is more sauce than pasta.
Tiramasu desert had no flavour and was all cream.
Considering they say they offer a pasta school I am disappointed with the food.
Service was ok, very slow and on 2 occasions we had to ask for either a menu or someone to come over.
House red wine very good, smooth.
prices ok.
looking at other people’s meals, the pizzas look a good option.
1 starter, 5 main course, 2 desert. worked out €37 per person with 1 drink each

I loved the experience at Pinocchio Restaurant! It was such a great idea — learning how to make different types of pasta, meeting new people, and sharing a delicious meal with other couples we didn’t know before. The **cooking day** was so much fun and really well organized. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for something different to do in Dublin!

Had a wonderful dinner here our first night in Dublin. Wife had the lasagna and I had a pizza. Both were very good. Good prices nice menus and lots of special. Nice atmosphere. Dalila was our server and she was fantastic (love the accent!) and Erika was great as well. Highly recommend

I had the pleasure of dining in this amazing restaurant during my trip in Dublin. As an italian I’m always skeptical about italian cuisine abroad, but when I tried Pinocchio’s food I couldn’t believe I was tasting true italian dishes outside of Italy. The ingredients are so authentic and fresh, they truly bring to you the italian flavours. I was waited on by Erika and Dalila, who were extremely prepared and helpful. Their kindness and spirits is what makes the restaurant experience great. I hope to be back very soon! Go girls!!

I spent a really lovely evening here at Pinocchio restaurant, by far one the best restaurants I’ve tried in Dublin. The staff has been very helpful, in particular the waitresses Dalila and Erica, who welcomed us and made us feel home during our dinner. The food was also great and worth the price. I highly reccomend this place if you happen to be in Dublin!

We booked in for Valentine’s Day, from the beginning there was multiple issues. The restaurant was clearly overbooked, the tables were on top of each other you could hear the conversation from the tables around you due to how close they were. Trying to get to toilet was a mission in itself felt like you stepping over people to get there. Let’s move onto the service, we were approached initially when we sat down I asked to order a drink the reply give “you’ll need to order with the food as we are too busy to accommodate just drinks orders” next I ordered a starter then never arrived. Then with my main I ordered roast potatoes only for chips to arrive at the table, then it took over 1 hr for the main to arrive we had ask was it coming. People around us who sat down after had been served. Lastly we were told there was a discount for the food being late but just checking the bill vs the website there was no discount. I understand it’s probably the busiest evening of the year but it was clearly overbooked and understaffed. The worst part is when we got the food it was very good. The experience around this brought it down.

We had the opportunity to visit Pinocchio Italian Restaurant for a pizza-making class. The overall experience was enjoyable—the host was both funny and informative, which added a nice touch to the session. However, I felt that the ingredients could have been of a higher quality to truly elevate the experience. Additionally, the pizzas were made in a conventional oven; in my opinion, a wood-fired oven would have added a more authentic and flavorful touch.
