Went for lunch with a few colleagues on a Tuesday evening around 7. It was busy inside but they could seat us at the straight treadmill. Service good with orders taken quickly. The pizzas were great, went for a simple margherita but were very tasty. Good selection of local beers, too, including Pasadena's local beers, which was very good

I found this place on google and ordered based on the reviews. Let me tell you, they did not disappoint. I had my daughters birthday and ordered catering for about 25 people. We ordered the full lasagna, full chicken parmigiana, half lobster ravioli, half shrimp pesto linguine and pepperoni pizza plus bread and salads. The food was so good! My favorite was the shrimp pesto. Everyone loved it and went for seconds. Not to mention the portions and prices were great. I was going to order Buca Di Beppo, but for almost the same price id get more at Pinocchio’s. I ordered online and the delivery came a little earlier with warm food. I can’t recommend them enough. Oh and we had leftovers. Thank you for the great food.

Found this spot kind of by accident, in my recent travels to Southern California back home to the central coast I got hungry, cruising through Pasadena nothing caught my eye, so I did a Google search of restaurants near me and this place popped up. I gotta say I would have given this place a 5 star but the service was not all the great in the beginning, it took almost 30 minutes to place my order after being seated, but once the waitress got into her groove, the service got better. The food was amazing and portions were generous, the price excellent!! If your around Pasadena and want delicious food at a good price I recommend. I do hope on your visit the service is excellent from start to end.

This is a nice place. I used to love it, now I would say it's okay. The food and portion quality has gone down a bit but I still come here every now again since it's local. I enjoyed their pastas in the past, now it can be a hit or miss. It seems like if they're having a party or catering event your service will be pushed to the side. They used to have love music, but that changed since covid. However the events hosted here do look nice and well put together

This place which has been a major staple as our pizza “go to” for many years, & it is with much regret that they are a “go to” no longer.While the quality of many menu items have been “hit or miss” as of late, we understand off days & rough patches & have continued to be loyal customers. What I refuse to understand is the blatant disrespect of the delivery drivers which was downright shameful! Here we are, still in the midst of this stupid pandemic w/its ever evolving & highly contagious variants but the driver feels it’s A-okay to deliver our food to our door without a mask. Our current city protocol is that those in food service wear masks. More importantly, it’s just simple common courtesy & respect. We all want to see this nightmare end & we all need to do our part no matter how big or how small the task. I think he saddest part was the absolute NASTY & RUDE come across I received from the manager when I brought this matter to his attention. Come to find out, the driver in question is the father to the manager so he took it personally when in fact it was not a personal attack at all. I made a request to receive more than a modicum of respect for my family’s safety, the same respect which was rendered to the delivery person when he was met by someone wearing a mask. My husband (who received the order) is someone’s father too & was masked, & he should not be placed at risk to receive food behind another person’s ignorance & their failure not comply w/our city’s mandates. I make concentrated efforts to support all our local businesses to the best of my ability. Now that I see I am not supported by Pinocchio’s, I will NEVER order from this establishment again.

honestly I never followed the step of anyone writing to me about crypto currency because my sister was scammed $72.500 until this was recommended to a trader that helped my sister to recover her lost. I was so amazed that my sister could recover her loss with the help of Mrs Jennifer , this motivated me to trade with her and today I can give testimonies about her. You can kindly text her via?

Arrived and had to wait for my order to be ready. Observing the situation, it looked a lot like chaos amongst those that work there. The staff I interacted with were friendly.When I got my food, 1st thing I noticed was the pizza wasn’t much warmer than room temperature. The box should have been piping hot if it just came out.The pizza itself was flavorless, dry, and extremely underwhelming. The pizza was the Pinocchio special and we added chicken. Ain’t nothin special about it.Aside from the pizza, we ordered the hot wings which were actually hot in all senses of the word. They were great tasting, warm, and perfectly tender. But, we didn’t get any dipping sauce with the order. It wasn’t offered nor was any provided.

Decent assistance, fellow! It must be the best pizza eatery I know around. Their method of engaging customers was terrific and fulfilling. Truly, I simply needed to visit here over and over!

This is our favorite Italian restaurant in north Pasadena! It's a true "food joy" experience every time. We live nearby and have done dine in, takeout, and delivery many times. Everything is scratch made daily and well worth the price.This is the kind of place for a nice date night or a dinner with out of town guests. The plating is beautiful and the portions are big. I recommend making reservations for dinner during peak hours. We drive by the restaurant often and it's always busy during dinner hours.The picture is the chicken fettuccine alfredo, one of their signature dishes. Amazing flavor and texture, with enough leftovers for a second dinner. It's a real worth it winner.Our "go to" order is the spaghetti with meat sauce, add meatballs dinner, and a combination pizza. On our first visit we saw another table order a pizza and a pasta, sharing both. It changed our lives! Why had we never done that before! Again, it's a worth it winner because there is enough leftover for a second dinner for two.Do yourself a favor and give this place a try soon!

The food is superb, astounding pizza mixture and they additionally have an awesome pastry. The staff is inviting and amicable. It is a beautiful and comfortable spot, amazing to appreciate lunch/supper with loved ones. Simple to find, near the primary square. I energetically suggest this spot. Along these lines, assuming you're longing for pizza, you might visit the spot!
