PINOCCHIO ITALIAN RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Really great price and quality! I got the spaghetti marinara which is only £10 but has a ton of quality seafood in it. Pasta was cooked perfectly, fairly garlicky which I love in a seafood pasta so I really enjoyed it. Really large portion for the price as well. Service was very efficient and friendly. If you’re looking for a casual dining spot this is the place.

Excellent Italian food - we had pizza and pasta and was delicious with generous portions. Tiramisu to end the lunch was just awesome. Ample seating and nice central location. Service is warm and efficient. Fair no if vegetarian options, Prices are good value. Toilets were clean.

Lovely restaurant with authentic Italian atmosphere. The food was amazing and such a great portion size for the price! Would highly recommend.

BELLA ITALIA BRIGHTON REVIEWS

Oooh this was such a treat! We went in not expecting much and went out so happy and wanting to come back again! Great food for adults and kids alike. Such great food with reasonable prices too. My only wish is if they would add Halal options. The seafood and vegetarian options were already amazing.

The food was amazing!! The atmosphere was lovely!! They have a ton of gluten free options and the tutti fruity cocktail was delicious!!! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options.

Lovely place to take the family. Great fresh food and good service. Definitely recommend it.
