What an incredible week it's been since reopening - Pinocchio's boss thanks customers for wave of support
The restaurant was forced nearly four years ago due to a fire and flooding.
What an incredible week it's been since reopening our doors is the message from the boss of Italian restaurant Pinocchio’s which recently reopened in Preston after nearly four years.
The restaurant, located at 34 Chorley Road, Walton-le-Dale, had nearly been closed for four years after a fire and a flood.
It reopened last Tuesday, welcoming back family and friends and even some new faces.
Carlo Bragagnini who owns and operates the restaurant which is part of the family-run San Marco Group took over the business from his father, Ivan, who opened his first UK restaurant in the 1970s.
Speaking of the warm welcome, he said: “A huge thank you to everyone who has dined with us, shared kind words, and supported us.
“Seeing so many familiar faces, along with lots of new ones, has made our return truly special.
“If you haven't visited us yet, we'd love to welcome you.”
The post was followed by many glowing reviews from followers with one praising the food and the staff, one calling it the “best Italian for miles, and another adding that it was “well worth the wait after nearly four years”.
Carlo added: “Everything is new, from the floor to the chairs. It’s been redecorated throughout with air conditioning.
“There is also new dishes on the menu and a couple of new faces but a lot of the old staff are still here as well.
“There are lots of new things to discover and some old things to reacquaint yourself with.
“It was the first restaurant we opened in the group. It’s a smaller and more intimate. It’s a warm family-run restaurant.
“It’s got such a special and unique feel to it.”
