Review of Pinocchio

03 Nov 07, 11:03

cheesy atmosphere, good food... 3*

For simple, cheap, kitsch 70's Italian restaurant fare head to Pinocchios. Pinocchios has been a Bournemouth staple up atop Poole Hill for at least twenty-odd years now. I don't know anyone who hasn't eaten there at least once. (FYI - there is another branch in Christchurch, Bournemouth's prettier, more chillaxed sister.) The food is very reasonable, yet tasty. The portions are what my Nan would call,healthy, so you get a lot for your money, and the staff are friendly, Italian ex-pat stereotypes,Mamma Mia!, and,Ciao Bella!, central. Not the chicest place around, but great fun, particularly on birthday's when they crank up the crackly Italian,Happy Birthday, LP. Yes, LP, I wasn't kidding about the 70's
