Pinocchio's has grown!

I remember when Pinocchio's came to 'The Spot' in Randwick many years ago (possibly over 10 years now?) and was one of the first restaurants in the area to have those modern looking wooden framed concertina doors at the front — back then it was considered very fancy. I see they are still very popular and have expanded their premises in the last year to take over the neighboring shop to cater for up to 180 guests now. The food is down-to-earth comfort food which I think is reasonably priced for the area. Mushrooms with seafood were a nice starter although a bit more seafood on top would have been welcomed. The lamb rump was very tasty and the generous chicken breast dish was moist and tender and tastier than it looked. I couldn't fit in any dessert but hope to try them next time. The service was friendly and efficient.

Mushrooms filled with fresh seafood: Prawns, scallops and smoked salmon topped with shaved Parmesan and baked $15.90

Lamb Rump marinated with fresh herbs and char grilled served with baked potatoes and roasted vegetables$23.90

Valdostana: Chicken breast with ham, tomato melted cheese served with baked potatoes (ordered without) and roasted vegetables $21.50
