Recommended by a young chap working in the cathedral shop, what a fabulous place. Friendly staff and food to die for. We choose the specials of the day, delicious and at a reasonable price. Would I return, you betcha, would I recommend this restaurant, without hesitation. Go and enjoy �
Simply the best Italian restaurant in the world, the Food and service are second to none, yesterday my wife had the meatballs my mother the seafood pasta and my self the Italian Sausage and spinach pizza...Everybody cleared there plate and although stuffed, couldn't wait for desert, we were not disappointed...If Italian food is your thing do not overlook this gem in the back streets of Canterbury.
What a great place this is, this was recommended by my Aunty and it did not disappoint, beautiful food, and warm and inviting service! We loved the attentive waiters that truly cared about their customers. Highly recommend!
A great place to eat, warm friendly staff and lovely food. Would recommend the scallops in saffron sauce on bruschetta bread and monkfish and king prawns with homemade tagliatelle. Will definitely be visiting this restaurant again when we are in the area.
We booked to go here for my mums birthday and it was incredible! Not just the restaurant itself and the food but also the chef and all staff being very attentive and ensuring all our needs were met. The most amazing experience, will definitely be back and couldn't recommend it enough!
Wonderful fresh food, seafood (scallops and crab) superb. Deserts also very good as was the service. Would recommend this restaurant, worth a visit.
Please eat here! This place is so delicious! My friends and I were on a road trip and we stopped in Canterbury for the night. We had dinner at Pinocchio's and loved everything!! Really good, fresh, authentic, Italian food! The staff was also so friendly and made the experience unforgettable. My only regret is we didn't save room for dessert because the tiramisu looked delicious!!
Delicious food - proper Italian, super fresh, and amazing staff, went with my family travelling from London and had the best Saturday lunch we could hope for, we really felt at home! Just a shame we live too far to be regulars - well deserved 5 stars!
Really good food. Highly recommend. Can't fault at all.
We have been to Pinocchios a number of times now and it is our favourite restaurant in Canterbury. We came here in Valentine's Day and although it was busy, staff were welcoming and attentive and the food was as always perfectly cooked and flavoursome with an exciting menu to choose from.

What a great place.leaking glass roof as pouring with rain but staff patched up as best they could .All had laugh about it .wonderful food .
Oscar … recently went to this restaurant for the first time. And only live just around the corner.. had the olives and the mozerlla salad for starters.. chicken in ham and mushroom sauce for mains.. and tiramisu and crème brûlée for dessert.. finished off with decaf coffee.. food exceptional and service was efficient.. my only criticism was that the apple juice was from concentrate.. but am probably being a bit to picky.. will definitely see my custom again.. thank you and well done
This little place has got to be one of the best Italian restaurant we have been to in a very long time. From the moment we walked in it was as if we were being warmly welcomed into their home. When the food came out, it looked amazing and tasted delightful.
They even had an incredible pistachio cheesecake that is a must-try dessert!!
This cute little restaurant is just tucked away outside the city centre. Very nice ambience inside. Pizza was great and had unique toppings, the seafood pasta could use more flavour. The environment could definitely be improved with a bit of background music because it was very very quiet inside and you’re able to hear everyone else’s conversations.
Excellent service. Food was hot and fresh. Don’t bother with the calamari. No flavor.
Ate here for evening meal start of Summer holidays.
I had clams, husband had pizza, daughter had gnocchi.
Fabulous very tasty. Lovely atmosphere, great quality. So very glad we ate here as beautiful independent Italian restaurant. Friendly fast service.
Very cosy restaurant with prompt and friendly service. The ravioli was fresh and extremely tasty!
Booked a table there during a trip to Canterbury without knowing anything about the place. We had an absolutely delicious dinner. The gnocchi with gorgonzola and walnuts were amazing. The staff was very friendly. Overall would recommend.
The BEST gluten free pizza and garlic bread I have EVER had. The non-gf people I was with said it was excellent too and thoroughly enjoyed it. My 16yo nephew (who is not gf), said it was the best garlic bread he’d ever had.
I’ve been coming to this restaurant with my family since I was a tiny tot, and seen it change hand a few times. The new owners and their team are incredibly lovely and their food is great. There’s always a fish special and the seafood dishes do not scrimp on the portion size of seafood, like so many do.
I can’t wait to go back. Just the thought of the garlic bread is making me drool.
Best Italian in Canterbury. The decor and menu is a little dated and that's what I love. Always an interesting special and old school favourites. Doesn't try too hard and delivers perfectly what you want. We really enjoy it here and it's my go to Italian outside of Italy
This is a great little restaurant a little off the beaten track which is great. The food is authentic and amazing quality. The team are very attentive and friendly. I have now found my new favourite Italian restaurant when I am not in Positano of course!
Wow! What a hidden gem in Canterbury! If you want authentic fresh homemade pasta and pizza this is the place. The staff are amazing and super friendly, the atmosphere is in-line with a dining experience. I ordered a pizza margarita which is probably the best I ever tasted and my daughter order tagliatelle bolognese which was fantastic! Make the effort to bd this place and enjoy!
Such a gorgeous restaurant with the most delectable food. The service was fantastic and the portions were great. Highly recommend the Prawn with White wine, the Saffron and Porcini risotto, the walnut and Italian sausage gnocchi and the TIRAMISU! Whatever you do, leave place for dessert.
5/5 for ambience, cleanliness and classic Italian dining experience.
A delightful Italian restaurant. Traditional food. Crisp, linen tablecloths. This is food that comforts the soul. Reasonably priced. A must if you live or visit Canterbury. We’ll most definitely be back!
Beautiful little Italian, with lots of character. Staff were so helpful and food was absolutely delicious. Would 100% go back and recommend to others.
Had a nice evening at Pinocchio's, food was very good and the staff were very friendly. Was not rushed in any way despite the place being busy and was made aware when booking that your table is available for 2 hours. Would happily recommend and will be returning.
Lovely Italian restaurant in Canterbury. Helpful staff. I have mobility issues and use a mobility scooter, which they made sure was safely parked before we went in to enjoy a lovely meal. They are not really able to cater for people with disabilities as space is rather limited.
They were friendly and helpful, food was lovely and the atmosphere was perfect.
Excellent food and service. Great drinks and very good prices. Highly recommend you stop by for a delicious meal!
Nothing bad about this restaurant 👌🏼
The food was delicious and well presented, the staff were warm and inviting and the prices were more than reasonable for the quality of the food!
If you're in Canterbury and not sure where to go for dinner, stop looking and go here 👍🏼
I went with my husband for the first time after hear lots of good recommendations about this place. The food was delicious and the costumer service great. Very happy with our experience, can't wait to go back.
