Welcome to Pinocchio Ristorante, a treasured gem nestled in the heart of Bournemouth. Since our establishment, we have been bringing the authentic and exquisite flavours of Italy to the vibrant streets of this coastal town.

Named after one of Italy’s most cherished folklore characters, our restaurant embodies the warmth, charm, and enchanting storytelling spirit of our namesake, Pinocchio. We believe in creating food that tells a tale of centuries-old traditions, familial love, and a deep passion for culinary excellence.

Our Head Chef, born and raised in Italy, combines the rich culinary traditions of his homeland with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. He’s a master of creating dishes that are as heartwarming as they are delicious, offering a diverse menu that ranges from familiar classics to unique regional specialties. Whether it’s the comforting embrace of a slow-cooked Ragu or the lively flavours of a seafood Risotto, each plate is a testament to Italy’s vibrant gastronomic heritage.
