    We were served very fresh dishes prepared as we ordered them: The fried calamari was hot, crispy and full of flavor. Their lobster ravioli special was creamy and so tasty. Don’t leave without sampling their home made tiramisu: It is really fluffy and light and out of this world delicious!! We will be back for more :)

    The waiter was a real professional. The evening we were there, it seemed like all the tables simultaneously filled at 6:45 p.m. and he was the only waiter on duty. He handled everyone of us with speedy service and professionalism. The ambiance at Pinocchio is very charming. Our dishes were excellent and the by-the-glass wines are good. We both would have liked olive oil or butter to go with our bread, but other than that the meal did not disappoint.

    Such a cozy restaurant. I had salmon and was delicious. My hubby has chicken Pinocchio and loved it. We finished our meal with Tiramisu. The best! We are happy that we found this place. Definitely we will be back.
