Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Pizzeria Pinocchio offers affordable pizza and pasta in a classic sit down restaurant setting. The space is candlelit and dim which gives it a very unique atmosphere. The interior feels almost like being inside a cave with textured walls and low lighting that make it stand out from more modern restaurants. The food itself is good and reliable. The pizza and pasta are well priced and satisfying making it a solid option for a casual meal. It is a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a full dinner without feeling rushed. That said the cave like walls are definitely not for everyone. While some people may find the ambiance cozy or romantic the walls personally gave me goosebumps and felt a bit unsettling. Overall it is a decent spot for affordable Italian food with a very distinct and memorable atmosphere."
"Authentic Italiano in the belly of the beast!!! What makes this so special is the Pinocchio themes and being inside the great whale. Food is spectacular and the service impeccable A must for all lovers of genuine Italian food"
"The pizza scampi and tagliatelle with cream are great, especially with the store-made garlic sauce that brought further strong flavor I looked for. The gnocchi was a bit different from what I had expected, from an Asian perspective although I don’t really know what it shall taste like but that’s how I felt. I remember it said it’s stuffed with some Ingredients but it’s not really the case and was more like heated dough without nothing inside. The flavor was rather on the surface of the plate. I might have selected another dish shall I have noticed its taste. The service by the waiter was professional as I could see from some of the European restaurants."
"best pizza I’ve had in years, decor is super cute and staff was super friendly."
"great service, nice food, and affordable prices. Highly recommended."
"Thanks to our good friends, Dieter & Karin, we had the opportunity to eat at this wonderful pizza restaurant. I loved the name and Pinocchio theme throughout. The food was delicious amd reasonably priced. Service was fantastic ."
"I ordered a pizza and it was served hot in 5 to 7 minutes .Their service is good and pizza was nice. They don’t accept cards if order is less than 20 so please bring cash when going there."
"Highlights: outdoor atmosphere in the sun, unique taste of pizza, the smell (so good!), the food was served very promptly (within 15 minutes of ordering, but for context, there were only two tables of customers). Could be better: I read a review saying the pizza is hard to cut, and I agree, but it cuts decently if you cut from the centre of the plate rather than the edge. Other: You can also ask for extra garlic spicy sauce for free :) the interior is very interesting, it gives cave vibes. Worth noting that the pizza here is thin crust :) I gave it 5 stars because currently the reviews are 4.4, and this restaurant deserves 4.5 :D"
