Pinocchio

Do like it here and been coming for years. despite being in the centre of the tourist mayhem it still provides a bit of authenticity. the proper italian servers were absent on my visit and the service lacked accordingly- awkward order taking and no check back (really?) or chance to get more drinks (leaving customers with empty glasses??). but, still love it and unlike my earlier memories here there are actual marked vegan options and yes vegans can have something beyond the normal tomato pasta that we are dumped with. the fresca was excellent. so it's still good, not perfect today at all but still special to us

The food was great and very tasty. i really congratulate the chefs. they did a great job. i would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food, for a family meal. they sat us upstairs, which was rather noisy at the start but i would avoid lunchtime rush for quiet. our booking was at 2.30. waiting staff were friendly and chatty. the food was delicious, as always. prices were reasonable too. gluten free pasta available which was ideal for myself. vegetarian options too. overall a lovely experience.

This is my favourite brighton restaurant! been coming for many years! why? because it fantastic value. great food, amazing terrace for people watching! always a table available.. vibrant up beat environment but most of all it’s the staff.. they are wonderful! lead by olga who is so amazing!! she always welcomes me and makes me feel cared for and special which means so much to me. she’s attentive, intuitive and incredibly lovely! i will always come back even if it’s just to say hello to olga! but really you can’t go wrong if you make a visit! thank you olga & team as you’re always working so hard for us. it’s very much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very polite staff with fast service. large space of seating which leaves us more privacy and nice interior. delicious dishes at very reasonable prices. best for every occasion whether it’s a date or a family lunch or a friendly gathering suits everyone.
