Pinocchio's Restaurant in South Ribble

Food was amazing, service was fantastic, lovely attentive staff Will definitely be back, will be recommending to my friends and family Cannot recommend enough I'm soo pleased we went.

Went for the first time this weekend. Nice restaurant with a good atmosphere. Staff where friendly and helpful and the service was generally good though we were seated at an unprepared table initially. The food was very good, my only criticism would be the salad garnish could have done with some dressing, but may be I'm being a bit picky. On the whole a very good experience. Will definitely return.

Great atmosphere, great food and delicious desserts and ice creams to please those with a sweet tooth. The staff are very friendly making for a really enjoyable time.

Not a vegan option noted on the menu but they were really accommodating in suggesting some things that could be adapted. Really simple options, soup or salad, & vegetable pasta or pizza with no cheese. It'd only take a little effort to purchase some vegan butter cheese & milk/cream and so much of the menu could be marked V & VE. It's 2022, I've not been somewhere with no vegan options for a long time, that said staff were lovely & I enjoyed the food they made.

First time going here and it was AMAZING! The staff were lovely and very attentive, the food was really nice. I had the tempura battered king prawns for starters. Then the pheasant for mains and tiramasu for dessert- all were fabulous! Cant wait to return x

The waiter wouldn't recommend me a wine when I asked for one after reviewing the wine menu, which I thought was odd. I thought they might have at least recommended a customer favorite or a popular Italian wine. I ended up drinking the house wine instead for lack of inspiration. There's good service, then there's going the extra mile which was missed on this occasion, otherwise no complaints.

Pinocchio's seems to have had a change in management and unfortunately it's not a good as it used to be.I asked the manager if they had a separate vegetarian menu and was told no. Unfortunately the main menu and specials menu offered very limited veggie options. Basically 5 Pasta or pizza options, where as my meat eating friends had more like 30 options.I fancied a roast dinner, I love roast veg with maybe a nut roast or something similar? Unfortunately theres nothing like this on the menu. Although I did notice many of the meat and fish dishes on the menu come with roast veg. I mentioned this to the manager and he became very defensive. I was told "theirs plenty of other restaurants in the area, I'm sure they have more veggie options I could try" "we are very busy, we have 100 guest a night" I explained I wasn't being rude or trying to upset him, just trying to offer him a bit of constructive feedback. He told me he's too busy , it's not his job discuss menu options, if I want to give feedback I should do it online - so here I am!One of my friend ordered the ribeye steak, he asked to swap the potatoes for chips, the manager told him this wasn't an option, the potatoes and vegetables are already prepared, if he wants chips he'll have to order a separate side dish and basically have both brought to the table. After discussing this madness for few minutes the manager said his only option would be to swap all his potatoes and all of the other vegetables for the chips, he agreed went along with this option. This dish alone was priced at £24! To be told he couldn't swap his potatoes for chips is ridiculousI ordered the veggie lasagna, unfortunately it didn't come with any vegetables, just swimming in cheese. Presentation was awful and unfortunately tasteless and bland.We had a quick look at the Christmas menu that was sat on the table , again I was disappointed with the veggie options. God help you if your vegan!!It seems the little touches have been lost too, friendly chats with the staff, asking us how our day has been, how the family is, topping up our wine glasses etc isn't apparent either. Considering the prices of the food and drinks, this is the least I'd expect. Overall a pretty poor night out, a waste of money and (even more annoying ) a waste of a rare baby sitterIt's such a shame , I used to love coming to this restaurant but it seems the food , atmosphere and the service to have all gone downhill.On the plus side the garlic bread and garlic mushrooms were excellent

Wow. Incredible Italian food. We stopped off impromptu on the way down from Cumbria to London. It’s just off the M6. They take bookings over the phone. We had a two course lunch, the starter and main was under £20. We highly recommend their Lemon Sole, Crabmeat Ravioli or their Seafood Spaghetti. Would love to return for Dinner some day. Christmas Menu below.

This is one of my favourite local restaurants and last night did not disappoint! The menu and food was amazing as ever. The staff are very attentive so you are never sat waiting for long even when it is really busy as it was last night. They didn't have the wine we requested but went out of their way to find us another of the same grape. Won't be long until we are back there again 😋. Thank you Pinocchio's x

Amazing food every time. Attentive staff who were pleasant and found great pleasure in my 8 year old daughter demolishing a serving of ribs and even brought her an extra bowl for the remains as well as a wet wipe to clean herself up.The staff picked up on, without being told, that it was my girlfriend's birthday and came out with her desert decorated and sang to her.Love this place.
