“"I recently visited Pinocchio’s with my brother and our partners, and I was honestly blown away. The service was top-tier and the food was absolutely amazing! I'm already looking forward to my next visit in a week or so. Highly recommended!"”
- June Reid
“If I could leave more stars, I would! Honestly this is the nicest Italian food I’ve had in the UK - by far. Beats all of the big places in Manchester all day every day. The food was unreal. I had the bruschetta to start and the “Spaghetti Asparagi Aglio e Olio” for my main. Absolutely delicious! Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was 10/10 also. I’m glad I stumbled upon this place and myself and my husband plan to return soon. Thank you for a lovely evening.”

Location
How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
