  “What a lovely place!! The food was delicious but what made the experience for us so special were the staff! They were so sweet and engaging. They even arranged to sing happy birthday to my friend (without us asking!!) and brought her some tiramisu with a candle!! We will definitely be visiting again when we're back in Newcastle! Thank you.”

  “We visited for the first time today and fell in love with the place. We were greeted by Luisa, she was welcoming, attentive and caring towards us. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the food is INCREDIBLE, if you want genuine authentic Italian food, this is the place to be. You can tell that Luisa and her team cook the food and run the restaurant with passion. The welcoming vibes make you feel like family. If you are into pizza, try the Calzone - unreal!! If you are into pasta dishes, try the spaghetti carbonara. Authentically Italian, just the way it should be! The prices are great, whilst you’re there - get the tiramisu!! You’ll definitely want more. We loved it and have now made it our date day spot. Grazie mille!”

  “LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Visited for the first time last week. Absolutely stunning! The food was incredible, I had the linguine marinara which was full of flavour and cooked to perfection. My compliments to the chef, Craig, who is extremely talented. The service was 10/10 the staff were excellent, very friendly and polite, especially our server Paolo, who made the evening really special and made sure we were well taken care of. Lovely restaurant, beautiful interior and wonderful atmosphere. I could not recommend this place enough. Will definitely be going back!”

  “The place is clean and beautiful. The staff are polite and caring. The food was ok. I expected more than ok though. Our extras were chips. The chips had a very distinctive taste as if they had been left out until unfrozen. Yeah, unfrozen and left to lay in wait for cooking beside other kitchen smells. Not nice. The soup was lovely. Fresh Tomato. Main course had a side salad but only 3 tiny peices. Rest room has room for improvement. You know, just attention to detail makes all the difference. As i said earlier. It is really beautiful.”

  “I stumbled on this restaurant accidentally. I was so happy I did! The food was sooo nice. I had the Bruschetta to start and I am sure the bread is homemade. The bruschetta was really tasty and fresh. Then I had the chicken Diane. It was really tasty. The chicken skin was crispy and the meat tender. The homemade peppercorn sauce was really delicious. The salad on the side had a lovely lemon vinaigrette. The vegetables were fresh and tasty. The food was presented lovely. I ended the meal with a cappuccino and the coffee was Italian, lovely and hot and strong.”

  “Excellent authentic Italian food, at its best. Pizzas are thin crust and stone baked. Pasta dishes are delicious. Linguine Gamberi e Rucola was recommended by the staff and was truly amazing. King prawns in a cheery tomato and chilli sauce. Very good. Highly recommended, great atmosphere.”

  “I visited Pinocchio Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne again after a year, and I’m so glad I returned. The atmosphere is still warm and inviting, with a lovely Italian charm that feels timeless. The staff remain attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about their food and service. The dishes were consistently excellent – fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the pizza beautifully crisp with generous toppings, and the desserts indulgent yet balanced. It’s rare to find a restaurant that maintains such high standards over time, but Pinocchio truly does. Coming back after a year reminded me why this place is such a gem. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine in Newcastle.”

  “The restaurant vibe is really classic. Staff are very attentive and quick with service. Food is amazing and the portions are generous. The restroom area is clean and has a changing table if you are there with a baby. The choice of music is amazing. You will certainly enjoy your time here!”
