I love this place and it’s my go to on Friday for lunch. I love the fact that they offer gluten free options. My usual is the Mama’s on a cauliflower bread extra toasted. Honestly you don’t even miss the fact it has no meat. The flavor marry together wonderfully. Every bite is a little flavor explosion. I recommend this place if you want to have a great meal. The meatball are another favorite soft but not falling apart, just perfectly balanced and packed full of flavor

Love Pinocchio's and for sure I will be there again. My wife has celiac and they offer a lot of gluten free options. The staff inside is extremely helpful and very welcoming. Great job Pinocchio's, keep it up. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Their sandwiches are out of this world. Stopped their on our way back to Angels Camp, and had an amazing food and outstanding service. The owner, Mr. Pinocchio even came out and sat with us for about 5 minutes to chat as well. They all make you feel like you are eating at their family home. Definitely a 5 start Italian place to eat.

2nd time visiting. The food and staff are amazing. So much to look at on the walls. I had the French dip with roast beef. My husband had the beef ravioli. We also had minestrone soup and chowder. We were in town visiting family.

Excellent food and friendly service! Best oven sandwiches ever. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Italian deli. I ordered the Mikey's, which was amazing. Delicious Italian meats with cheese and sauce. Will definitely, if order again. The full sandwich is huge so I've got great leftovers. The French Dip was also tasty. We also ordered a half of garlic bread, which was basically a half loaf. Seriously, it works be a great appetizer for 4 or more. We're so happy to find new gems in our new town. Service was fantastic and super friendly. We'll be beck to try the rest of the menu.

I loved this place so much!!! The food was amazing and so was the Pinocchio’s themed interior! I didn’t get to take photos of the food cause I ate it all before I had the chance to take some but I did get some photos of the interior.

One of the best italian meals of my life. Lasagna is rich, savory, and delicious. Alfredo was just okay as was the garlic bread. Small wine and beer selection but quite adequate. The star of the show, DO NOT MISS IT, is the marinara sauce. I could have eaten it like soup. Best I've ever had, any where, hands down. Excellent service as well.

Had an early dinner at Pinocchio's and glad I did! From the moment I walked in I was treated like I was a regular! All of the staff, especially my waitress, were amazing...as was the food! I had the spaghetti w/meat sauce (which had nice size pieces of hamburger) and the cauliflower flatbread. I know that they can be busy, so I recommend an early dinner to get your choice of seating and a nice and relaxed atmosphere. Make Pinocchio's a place to visit!

Wonderful spot to stop for delicious food! Highly recommend the lasagna Bianca, brushetta, meatballs, and waffle Gelato. Everything was very tasty, these items packed a flavor punch! I will be going back!

Pinocchio’s feels like home — warm, inviting, and full of family vibes. Our go-to favorites are the RJ Special (loaded with meatballs, peppers, and onions) and the McLean, both packed with flavor and nostalgia. Today we tried their Sourdough Club — one of their specials — and it was absolutely spectacular. If you haven’t tried Pinocchio’s yet, now’s the time to put a new favorite on your list. You won’t be disappointed.

Find this tucked away Italian delight, great food, great service, great decorations. The prices were reasonable, the serving sizes were great. We all left happy and full. I would definently recommend this place. The spaghetti was great though they served the meatball on the side which was unusual. Overall I can't say great enough.

Love the food, always a great staff I've personally know the Pinocchio's for years. You can't go wrong eating here.

The new restaurant is very nice. It's larger than the old one, the kitchen looks huge. Same excellent staff.

Excellent food. I love the home style feel of this little tucked away jewel. Will go back for sure. Staff was super friendly a d the food was on point. Bread is fantastic

Pinocchios italian is incredibly welcoming. The service is above and beyond what it should be and the food never disappoints! Highly recommend local eatery ❤️

Its a small tight space but the food is great. Little pricey- but worth it I've tried a few simple dishes like the Alfredo and chicken bacon ranch sandwich delish.

Celebrating our 56th wedding anniversary we were enjoying a weekend away from the Bay Area and wanted a smaller restaurant and good food. We weren’t disappointed … Pinocchio’s had a pleasant relaxed family atmosphere with a number of families enjoying their meals. My minestrone w/sausage soup and salad combination were both excellent. My husband found his caesar salad and alfredo pasta were also excellent. The garlic bread was complimentary. The cost was much less than a takeout meal at most fast food restaurants. We definitely will visit Pinocchio’s again!8

What a hidden gem in Sonora! This sandwich spot is truly special — every bite tastes like it’s made with love and real respect for good food. Fresh ingredients, great flavors, and a welcoming vibe make it a must-try.

We have always heard good things about this establishment but had never been. This was our first and definitely not our last visit. Rumor has it that they will be moving to a new location. The only problem is that they won't be any closer to my house...lol

Ana Beatriz

Absolutely delicious! The Spaghetti Alfredo with Chicken had the best alfredo sauce ever tasted. The Meat Ravioli and the Meatballs were good, but the tomato sauce leaned a bit too acidic.

We came to Sonora for sushi they were closed, but we found this little gem. It’s very cozy and homey. Kind of like eating at your grandparents home on Sunday 🤣 I had the lasagna Bianca it was so delicious and filling. We went late so the sauce was broke a bit but still so delicious. I loved their homemade pretzels. Not a fan of the cheese though it was grainy and broken. Might have been because it was late at night. Also had desert which was also so delicious. We will definitely be back.
