Review of Pinocchio's Restaurant Menu
64 Castle St, Canterbury CT1 2PY, United Kingdom

Tucked away on the charming Castle Street, Pinocchio's Restaurant stands out for its warm Tuscan charm and its inviting Mediterranean cuisine. Having dined here multiple times, I can confidently say the Pinocchio's Restaurant Menu is a delightful journey through Italy, with a few modern surprises along the way.

The menu balances traditional Italian recipes with seasonal British produce, making each visit slightly different but always satisfying. Starters such as the bruschetta al pomodoro are incredibly fresh, with ripe tomatoes and fragrant basil on perfectly grilled bread. The calamari fritti is another crowd-pleaser-lightly battered and served with a tangy aioli that cuts through the richness nicely.

For mains, the tagliatelle al tartufo is a must-try. The pasta is fresh and silky, coated in a rich, aromatic truffle sauce. Seafood lovers will appreciate the grigliata di pesce, a generous plate of grilled mixed fish served with lemon and herbs, showcasing quality ingredients simply prepared. The wood-fired pizzas offer thin, crisp crusts and balanced toppings, especially the Siciliana with capers, anchovies, and olives.

One standout feature is their vegan and gluten-free options, which are thoughtfully crafted rather than being afterthoughts. The wine list is concise but well-curated, with several Italian labels that complement the food beautifully.

Compared to competitors in Canterbury, Pinocchio’s offers a more authentic Italian dining experience-rustic yet refined. Service is attentive without being intrusive, and the setting-a cozy converted cottage-adds to the intimate feel.

Overall, the Pinocchio's Restaurant Menu reflects quality, authenticity, and consistency. Whether you're visiting for a casual dinner or a celebratory meal, it’s a spot worth bookmarking.
