Reviews
The tomato bread is absolutely amazing, such a basic recipe but done so unbelievably well.
Do wish this place was open more often thought.
Went to ponchinellos Thursday night for what was supposed to be a nice meal inside the restaurant (not takeaway). To say we were disappointed was a understatement. The special ponchinellos pizza was not thin and crispy like requested (it was optional to have thin or deep) and nor was it even the slightest bit Italian, I should know as I’m Italian. And the pasta dish my partner ordered was served in the tin takeaway pots that it was cooked in. When dining at a restaurant you expect your food to come in proper dishes.. you know wine and dine. It tasted like a tin of chopped tomatoes with a bit of salt poured over the pasta with little mozzarella. It also appeared like it was cooked from frozen as the water separated from sauce sat at the bottom of the tray…again not authentic Italian food. As you can see from photos attached the “roast” potatoes were anything but roasted. They tasted like they were reheated and then sprinkled some rosemary and thyme over the top and grease i understand them to be a little oily to get them crisp but they were not crispy and were really greasy. The staff were pleasant and friendly and the place inside looked welcoming and clean. All covid rules were followed so felt relaxed. Just a shame the food was not up to standards.
The volume of orders bellowing through on the telephone at their takeaway is testament to its popularity and the quality of its food. The people working in Ponchinellos bright, clean, busy environment are happy, warm and accommodating, reflecting the beautiful Italian culture.
To avoid disappointment Get your order in before 5pm to be picked up on the evening. Top tip, make sure the pizza is thin base, it’s far more delicious than it’s thicker sibling.
I ordered the Carnivale, The Capricciosa and the Lasagne (not all to myself!)
As expected, It all absolutely slapped! Super fresh and cooked just right. The lasagne was also rich and tasty.
I’m almost ashamed to describe the amount of enthusiasm when chowing down on this meal.
Best advice is to ignore the reviews from the 1 Star Carons who reckon they’re Italian and enjoys simply enjoy how good this food is!
Pic 1 is meant to be garlic and tomato bread. pic 2 is prawns gamberetti piccanti. Pic 3 is lasagna. Pic 4 is roast potatoes. The lasagne could be summed up as tasting as you would expect if Heinz did tinned lasagne! The salt level was astonishing in everything! I am truly flabbergasted by just how awful this place is.
Tonight we rang every 3-4 minutes for 20 minutes as the kids wanted pizza and no one ever picked up the phone and it kept redirecting to some mobile. Now if this was the first incidence of this I could let it slide but it’s happened the last three times we have tried to order and gave in.
