    Great service! I came here with my friend and we were taken away by the fantastic food, friendliness and hospitality. My friend had the Margherita Pizza and I had the Kabob pizza -- both were great. Some of the best I've had in a long time. Ryan is a great manager, good conversationalist and great with patrons.If you come to Accra, you need to stop by here.

    As soon as you enter the place, the scent of their delicious and heavenly waffles hits all your sensory receptors. Best waffles I ever had. The ice-cream is also great. Not too sugary. Just the perfect level of sweetness.

    A quiet simple quiet restaurant, the staff is caring and attentive. For French speakers if you ever have any questions you could contact one of the waitresses, I didn't ask for the name but she was friendly and welcoming, one of the chefs too. Basic fun fact I wanted to go to that of osu ​​since it is my usual address, but by mistake on the bolt I marked east legon I was disgusted but I said to myself well we are not there so not the choice to stay, but very clearly being a lover of carbonara legs, I loved it, it was excellent, delicious 🤤, I'm drooling just writing, 10/10 quality and available staff.

    I was looking for ice cream a lactose intolerant person could enjoy also and found here!!! Flavours are amazing and staff patiently allow tasting even before taking orders. A combination of 2-3 flavours for the milkshake which is still affordable is laudable. I love how uncrowded it is. PS: No pets allowed!!!

    Margarita pizza, Four Seasons pizza, aglio e olio with shrimps, grouper with gratin potatoes, and casareccio! Oh my! This food is always spot on and the service and atmosphere is wonderful! A must have restaurant when stopping in Osu! They have a second location and we go at least once or twice a week! And the gelato is worth every calorie for a delicious treat! Do yourself the favor by dining here. It’s a must!

    Rated very highly we had to check this place out. As someone who loves pizza sure why not. My three guests were not so sure, but we ventured in, took our seats and looked at the menu. First impressions was the place was quite small, but there was a very steady stream of customers in and out buying ice cream.....which was very interesting to see. Also we could get a good view of the traditional style pizza over at the back which was well cool. We proceeded to order 3 pizzas, a chicken one, a seafood one and one with parma ham. All three looked great, but we decided the chicken one was the best so after we quickly wolfed down the three regular sized pizzas, we went for another order of that but this time in XL size! Which of course we couldn't finish, but we had as a take out, and it seemed I was eating slices of it for my supper all week! After the main food we decided it would be remiss of us not to try the lovely ice creams on display......and there was so many interesting flavours.... I went for the bubblegum flavour and Yes it was delicious. All in agreement the ice-creams were fabulous. Service was good too, friendly and efficient.....we were served by a young lad who told us it was his first job since leaving school......it was good to see him hitting the ground running......as he came over to check on us regularly, which was very good. Overall we all loved this restaurant.....the food was fresh, well cooked, and more importantly tasted damn good. We liked it so much we infact ordered take outs from it the week after.......

    The manager at Pinocchio Ghana - East Legon Branch was kind to me few minutes ago. So we all know about the momo challenges today.Though it’s been resolved, it’s unfortunate it’s still not working for those that use theirs through the POS system. They aren’t accepting momo today but that was the only medium I could use for my payment. He asked ; “ How many scoops of ice cream do you want? I replied : “ 2 for the start” He replied: “Take it and you can pay us later. Tomorrow or the next time you come here” I’m touched ❤️

    It was a quick in and out. The space is pretty nice and some of the staff are cool and professional. You can definitely bring a laptop and sit or stop by with a friend for a chat. They also allow you to buy tubs for home. But this one server was oh- so bent on serving some guys that came in after me. They had to correct her. Understandably, it was a relatively busy night, but the eye rolling at the end was so unnecessary. It really marred my visit and I hope they find a way of queuing.

    We've known Pinocchio for several years, often dining at the Osu restaurant for excellent Italian cuisine and enjoying the pleasant atmosphere. When the Eastlegon branch opened, we started going there too. The menu is slightly smaller but good, with a wide selection of ice creams. However, we prefer ordering or taking away due to the suboptimal atmosphere. This isn't a reflection on the attentive and courteous service staff but rather on the manager's demeanor. Twice, we almost got asked to leave. The restaurant officially closes at 10:00 pm, but by 9:15 pm, shutters are down, and ice creams and desserts are packed away, creating a sense of closure. When trying to order, the manager insists on takeout, even though the restaurant officially has over half an hour left. The second time, we specifically asked the manager, who confirmed the closing time as 10 pm. His manner was hurried, and his interaction with the staff was brusque, correcting them in front of guests. A restaurant open until a specific time should allow guests to sit in peace, finish their meals, possibly have a drink, with cleanup happening after closure. The atmosphere should be calm and serene for a pleasant experience, avoiding open discussions. These are the manager's responsibilities. He seemed overwhelmed, as if the job was no longer suited to him.

    N8tive is an awesome place for a quiet lunch or to unwind from the hustle and bustle of Accra life. It is quiet and serene enough for a person to be able to study or prepare presentations. They have an enclosed backyard sitting area. Delicious and healthy meals, drinks and smoothies are offered by the polite and affable staff. It is located within the Airport Residential area not far from Nyaho Medical Centre.

    A scoop is 15gh Flavors: 𝘿𝙪𝙡𝙘𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙠𝙚 (this is my favorite flavor btw) 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩 Ice cream preferences are pretty subjective because almost everyone already has their favorite flavors but the cones. The ice cream cones. When you get a good cone and I mean a good biscuity cone, you know you’re getting good quality ice cream. So if it’s 𝘿𝙪𝙡𝙘𝙚, you get more caramel. If it’s 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙠𝙚, more cake bits And if it’s 𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝑪𝒉𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆 ( which I kept stealing from my date ), you’re getting close seconds with toblerone.

    good service and good pizza. i’m not a fan of ghanaian pizzas so having found this italian style, i am in heaven. the sorbet is good too! the gelato is fine but it just tastes like ice cream to me and ghanaian ice cream is heavily creamy, too creamy, for me sometimes but still good. be aware that the east legon location only has pizzas, calzones, and gelato. the osu location has more italian dishes apparently. went hoping for spaghetti and that’s what we were told.

  • 5/5 Kristopher O. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely Ice cream spot. Unique flavors with multiple options and combinations. Waffles and cones to go with your ice cream or fancy a smoothie. Great spot for a date.

  • 5/5 Daisy-Lynn A. 2 years ago on Google
    Coming here was such a great experience. Even though I arrived late and had to order quickly, everything else was topnotch. The lasagna I had was marvellous and very cheesy. I also got the melty meat sandwich which actually melts in your mouth. Highly recommend that you come here but possibly before they close.

  • 4/5 Tom 1 year ago on Google
    The Pizza is so far the best I had in Accra. The staff is friendly and attentive. Kids seem to love to come for ice cream :) Sadly, the outdoor seating is a parking lot now. The interior seems a bit too minimalistic to the extent of being sterile; could do well with placing some more plants etc.

    Newly refurbished. Good array of ice cream flavours. Waffles taste creamy. Very nice customer service.
