Pinocchio in Dublin

05/04/2025: We have gone to this restaurant several times over several years and have never been disappointed. The food is good, comes quickly, hot and very good. Even when the place is crowded the service is excellent. We go here every time we are in Dublin. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

10/03/2025: The food was very average. We got a pizza and the chicken with mushroom. The pizza was very doughy, bland taste and quite chewy. Wasn't roasting when put on the table which meant when I got to the last slice it was cold. Very similar style pizza to a take away restaurant. My friend got the chicken and mushroom. The side salad was very "deli counter" not restaurant style. Loads of dressing mixed in just heaped on the side of the plate. The mushroom sauce loaded on the plate I couldn't even see the colour of the chicken. It came with Italian potatoes which we swapped for mash. The dessert was a let down completely. It said Nutella brownie. The brownie was very small for the price. It did not have Nutella in it the Nutella was a sauce drizzled on the cake. The brownie was also in a fridge where you could taste that it wasn't covered correctly. It was not fudgey or like a brownie texture more chocolate cake. The servers were attentive, spotting if we required more drinks or our plates were empty for the next course. Overall the food was okay but wouldn't be in a rush back.
