Always seen this growing up in the Valley, but first time trying this in 2025 on a Friday night around 7pm. Pastrami sandwiches are my favorite and go-to’s, but I asked the chef what he recommended, Pastrami or Roast Beef, he asked you like hot or cold? I said hot. He recommended the Pastrami (On Roll). After ordering it, the lady next to me said the Pastrami is really good here, great choice! I couldn’t wait to try it. The chef went to get the fresh, hot Pastrami in the kitchen in the back, and stuffed the roll with a huge amount of meat. Then he added a delicious seasoned tomatoes & onions mix, and asked if I wanted mustard on the bread, I said yes! everything on it please! For $12, it was great and filling. I love places that don’t skimp out on the amount of protein, and boy they stuffed that sandwich. When I bit it outside, since I got to-go, it was warm, juicy, messy, and a great sandwich overall! I highly recommend and will be coming back, great 1st impression! – LaynoProd

Monte Carlo combination sandwich is outstanding! The amount of flavor and meat makes this a filling diner. We get the greek salad and olives to make this an outstanding combo.

I’ve been coming to Pinocchio Restaurant since I was little, and it’s been a special place for my family for years. The atmosphere hasn’t changed much—and that’s a good thing. It has that cozy, old-school Italian charm with the red-checkered tables and deli-style feel that brings back memories every time I visit.
The food is hearty and comforting—my go-to has always been the lasagna and garlic bread, and the portions are generous for the price. I also love that you can grab deli items and even a glass of wine without breaking the bank.
It’s not a fancy, fine-dining Italian spot—more of a nostalgic, neighborhood gem where you come for familiar flavors and a laid-back meal. Service can get a little busy during peak times, but they’ve always been friendly and welcoming to us.

This restaurant impressed in every category. The service was efficient yet friendly, making the entire meal enjoyable from start to finish. The menu was filled with excellent choices, each one thoughtfully prepared. Food was served hot and looked stunning on the plate. Flavors were rich, fresh, and well-balanced, reflecting true care in preparation. The staff worked attentively to ensure drinks were filled and guests had everything they needed. The atmosphere was bright, clean, and inviting, encouraging relaxation and conversation. Every aspect of the visit was positive, leaving guests with a strong desire to revisit and share the experience again.

This is an excellent Italian deli. You can shop here or stop and eat. The food here is quite a value for what you get. One meal was more than enough to share. I loved all the Pinocchio decorations. Everyone here were friendly and working hard.

Wonderful Italian grocery store and restaurant. While the restaurant lacked quality and is run like a cafeteria, the bakery, deli and grocery store was awesome. Will go back for the Gelato and baked goods. The store is a winner also. Must visit. If you must eat, get the pizza.

This place is a must go to. It reminds me of an Italian trader Joe’s. The atmosphere is lively old school and I don’t feel like I’m in a big city. I feel like I’m in a small town restaurant. Between the great food, the amazing gelato or the authentic Italian store where you can get mozzarella in water I highly recommend this place. A meal for $12 with a few side dishes where can you get that these days? The food was very tasty like Mom made it. Parking along the side of the building, or street parking is typically available. You go up and order your food bring it to your table and enjoy. You can get some wine if you’d like. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you get a chance try to tiramisu gelato!
