This funny little Italian has been open for a year now and is making serious waves in Ranelagh and beyond. The key, according to manager Carlo Santinelli, is the freshness of the ingredients. "When a meal is ordered, you can see the chef go out of the kitchen, over to the deli and cut up the meat and cheese and use the oven for the bread. Everything is made then and there."

If you are looking for a gift that looks incredible, provides exquisite tastes and is received with amazement, explore our range of unique Christmas hampers and gifts. Give a special person or family a gift they will remember with our inspired gourmet food and wine combinations. Our Italian Christmas Hampers are available in Pinocchio and at the Italian School of Cooking.

BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT

No guide on where to eat would be complete with the inclusion of an Italian. So many of our favourite foods hail from Italy and it is a genre of food the Irish are absolutely in love with. In fact, it would be fair to say it is a genre of food the whole world is in love with!

Ever since Pinocchio swung its doors open back in August 2008, it has stayed true to a few core ideals... they offer simple, fresh, delicious Italian food in the heart of Ranelagh Village. Italians Marco Giannantonio and Maurizio Mastrangelo teamed up to open this authentic Italian restaurant and winebar beneath the Ranelagh Luas station alongside their Italian cookery school, catering company and gourmet travel company.

Paolo Tullio wrote about him:

“After decades of not finding genuine Italian cooking in Dublin I was overjoyed to find Pinocchio.

I asked to meet the chef and found a thoughtful, cultured man called

Luca Mazza.

He told me that when he had worked in Venice's Grand Hotel he'd got a Michelin star, which, given how well we'd eaten, came as no surprise”.
