Pinocchio - Dax

We were staying at the Ibis Styles just across the road, so this was a convenient place to eat. My husband's pizza and my Tagiatelle Arrabiata were both excellent and I;d highly recommend it. Slightly spoiled by a very offhand waitress who clearly didn't want to be there! I'd happily go back, but would have liked a smile!

Despite it being a Saturday evening, our 'host ' Daniel was cool, calm and collected and extremely efficient despite the steady flow of diners both inside and out. The food was extremely good. 2 Licorne Blacks and a Licorne pale, a half litre pichet of rose wine, asparagus special starter to share, two mains and a trio of crepes to share as dessert and the bill was €63.70. We both enjoyed the meal immensely as well as the atmosphere in the restaurant. It is clearly popular with locals and families with (well-behaved) children which always says a lot about restaurants. An interesting point... the dried ham is cut on a machine in the dining room which was fascinating to watch. Such skill! The restaurant also offers an extensive pizza menu as well as a takeaway option.

While we visited Dax, we ate at Pinocchio three times. Thibault the waiter welcomed us and helped us order every time. BEST pizzas are the Primivera and also the goat cheese pizza with honey. Also if they have the mozzerella dish definitely order it :

This place is tucked away but the food is really good and the service friendly, so it's well worth hunting out. Great value too!
