Pinocchio Brighton is a family-run Italian restaurant at 22 New Road in the North Laine. Serving the city since 1987, it offers two floors and an alfresco area close to Brighton’s theatres and central attractions.

Classic pizza and pasta form the heart of the menu, supported by antipasti, salads and substantial Italian main courses. Fresh mussels, calamari, aubergine parmigiana and generous sharing plates give diners plenty of ways to begin a meal.

Set menus provide a straightforward multi-course option, while a dedicated children’s selection makes the restaurant practical for families. Italian desserts, coffee, wine, cocktails and beer complete the experience.

The spacious, lively format works well for pre-theatre dining, cosy dinners and larger celebrations. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should review the current allergen information and speak to staff before ordering.

Address: 22 New Road, Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1UF, England
