Didn't realise this existed near Kibble Park in Gosford. It has a cozy feel inside, which is what we wanted on a cold night. The staff were exemplary, eager to take our orders for drinks and meals. The food came out much quicker than I expected as well. I did think the cost of my pasta dish was over the top, however, the price of the other meals were what you would expect around the Central Coast. The pasta dish was beautiful but for the money, I thought I'd receive a bit more in my bowl. Overall, I'd highly recommend this restaurant for gatherings for friends and family.

We are regulars here and are always treated exceptionally well. ALL the staff are wonderful and have great knowledge of wine and food and seem to really enjoy the work they do. One of the really good things at Pinocchios is that they don't seem to mind changing the menu around a bit and even bringing back some old favourites. Tonight however they have outdone themselves, with not only the return of the "Slow Cooked Beef Ragout", my wife's favourite but a very welcome new addition "Fishermans Stew".....its to die for. Possibly the tastiest meal I have had in a very long time. Packed full of beautiful perfectly cooked seafood in a delicious broth, served with some crusty bread. Couldn't have asked for much better on a cold old night. Thanks to the chef, the kitchen and everyone else who always do a great job. Its why we keep coming back......Please leave this one on the menu......

We were lucky enough to get a table at short notice on a Saturday night. The food was absolutely sensational and the service was also brilliant. Our waitress was very attentive and made our dining experience all the more enjoyable. The wine selection is so impressive. I can't wait to dine here again.

My partner had attended restaurant previously and had a good meal, so...what should follow, but another visit.
So another visit with my partner and myself we did!
Restaurant was approximately half full, a good sign, a seat outside was available, great! It was a little noisy inside, nice crowd though.
Impressions of staff was positive, friendly and courteous.
Drinks? Yes, this beer and that beer thankyou, ok great.
Yes I know it's a pizza and " wine" establishment and we ordered Beer, but it was on the list and we felt like beer ( warm evening) well my beer off tap was dead flat and totally off, and not by a little bit!! My partner's Beer ( bottled) was only just cooled, not great, but these things happen, my beer was replaced by a bottled beer, ( not so cold), staff were very helpful with this.
Meal order was taken in good time, entree of calamari and 2 X pizza.
Calamari arrived in great time and was to be honest an adequate serving and quite nice, very tender and tasty.
Main meal was served an hour later!
Being a main it did attract a bit more of our attention (considering the time lag) unfortunately both pizzas didn't rate as high as our entree, kinda bland and almost too much crust.
Also to mention the menu didn't match what was advertised on the website, no pasta and other dishes just pizza and some entrees.
So this description details my "underwhelming" feeling from our visit.
May not attend again.

We've been wanting to come here for a while now and have been told its a local favourite. I was disappointed with the food "light and crispy" was actually deep fried and the lamb ragu was so salty I could hardly eat it. We ordered drinks and the waitress poured them so badly the first one spilt all over the table and the 2nd had so much froth it was like an ice cream. We waited an age for our plates to be cleared to the point we moved them away from us and gave up waiting for a dessert menu and just paid and left.

Unfortunately we dined out on a Saturday and there didn't appear to be enough staff on as we waited for 15 minutes prior to a drink/food order being taken. Despite being lovely, our waitress was run off her feet and continuously apologising. A large group came in at approximately 7PM which further exacerbated the service and the noise levels. "Capacity must not exceed one customer per 2 square" was definitely violated as this group occupied 3 large tables totalling approximately 60 people. This was in addition to the other guests in close proximity. Not enough pasta options and the prawn pasta was quite tasteless. We do recommend the mushroom arancini balls and meatballs.

I’ll start by saying the food was actually good, but a complete fail on delivery. After one hour and 15 mins of waiting for delivery and multiple unanswered phone calls, we had to actually go to Pinocchios to find out what was going on. When we got there, there were multiple people there complaining about the wait. When we finally got our ‘delivery’ order there was no offer of any kind of compensation at all. I know it’s a hard time for restaurants with lock downs, but not being offered anything to apologise for non-delivery is very disappointing to say the very least.

Went with a group of 6 friends on a Friday night. The restaurant was full and buzzing a great vibe for a Friday night.
The pizzas are amazing, fresh, clean food and very authentic.
The staff were attentive and friendly. The restaurant was full with a couple of large tables so our pizzas took a little longer than usual, the staff kept us informed of the wait times, and those pizzas were worth the wait. A very relaxed dinner out, fantastic food, great wait staff, a nice vibe on a Friday night and great value. A gem for Gosford

We went there on a Thursday night ( 1st time visit ) . The young lady that served us was lovely . We ordered mushroom arancini for both of us , 3 each about the size of golf balls & 2 pizzas , 1 glass of wine & 1 beer . .......$101 !!! We certainly did not think it was worth it . We won’t be going back at those prices.

We have been here numerous times and usually everything is on point. We went recently and ordered a couple of pizzas and a couple of sides, which we wanted to come out at the same time.
When the food came out we were missing one thing (a salad), so we waited a few minutes in case they were going to bring it out. But it didn't seem like it was coming. So I called over a waitress and she assured us it was coming...
About 15 minutes went by but nothing, another ten minutes, nothing. I called her back over an was re assured that it was coming. I said it doesn't matter now I've finished my dinner and it's been half an hour.
She was apologetic about it but that doesn't really change the fact. Poor service for this one. We didn't have to pay for it but they could have at least offered a small discount or given us the salad for free. It's customer service and etiquette to do things like that.
Other than that the food was excellent as usual. Would be good if the pizza bases we're just slightly crispier as they do sag but are tasty.

Had an 8pm booking and our table was ready early so we sat in at 7:50pm. Ordered by 8:05 and we were eating our entrees (mushroom arincini balls and misto fritto) both were delicious. Our mains came out shortly after finishing our entrees - 1 x fennel pizza (slightly undercooked by delicious in a takeaway box and heated up the next day! We got the pork belly and caramelised onion pizza, and a beef Ragu - both were perfection. Our cocktails were fancy and exciting. Our server “Chez” was an absolute gem. Took care of us the whole way through without being pushy as some waiters are. She made great recommendations and had great knowledge of the ingredients (type of fish in misto fritto) when we asked, and overall she made the night a perfect 10. Will definitely be back for some drinks and a pizza with friends! Thanks for an awesome night out for my partners 25th birthday.

Sensational food and great people! Nick and the crew accommodated our U14G basketball group of 22 people over the June long weekend. The food was absolutely amazing!! We pre-ordered and the chefs had our hot pizzas and delicious salads coming to the table within a few minutes of us arriving. Outstanding service and amazing tasting dishes. Very highly recommend these guys.

Great to have friends visit from Qld , so we decided to go lunch at Pinocchio's. Great service and the 4 meals were excellent. As a starter the seafood fritto's were actually a main meal size and should have been shared. Service was excellent with plenty of banter and chat.

We ate at Pinocchio's to celebrate Mother's Day and it was a wonderful experience. All three generations of the family enjoyed it - even my 89 year old mother. In fact, the restaurant is easily accessible for people who have extra mobility needs (the staff were so helpful with mum and her walker). The food was superb - something for everyone. The service was prompt and always with a smile. It's so great to have a quality restaurant available in the heart of Gosford - my husband and I plan to return on our next "date night" because it's suitable for more intimate evenings too.

Unfortunatly , our first visit to this establishment was far from perfect.
We are new to this area and love eating out but when told that at the first sitting there was no pasta avaliable our evening was off to a great start..NOT..
We were then told that another dish could not be made without chilli even though my partner was allergic to it.
After selecting our third choice meal , being rushed thru it , we paid , and then went elsewhere for dessert.
thank goodness they were very accommodating ... We now have a weekly booking with them..
