Pinocchio's Italian Restaurant.

We went there for the first time on Saturday night and it was SO good. We started off with their appetizer special which was a ravioli, but in a puff pastry, with the most delicious handmade marinara. My partner had the sausage with peppers and gnocchi and I had the carbonara. Both were exceptional. We finished with their cantaloupe and basil gelato. Everything was SO good and the service was impeccable. We will definitely be back!

Amazing Food! Excellent Service.. The best Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo I have ever had!

Staying at the lake, I searched for a nice place to eat, and found this one. It was excellent with the husband serving and the wife cooking. And the atmosphere cozy and warm.

For small towns, Salisbury and Spencer are truly fortunate to have so many great, locally owned choices for dinner! For me, Pinocchio's is at the top of that list. This review is the sum of dozens of visits (we live in Salisbury). As background, I've lived all over the country, from FL to CA to VA, and I love good food! I've been to Italy many times, but I was on an aircraft carrier at the time, so I don't think that counts.The setting is an older building. Not a hole in the wall, more of a small, intimate and (to me) surprisingly cool setting. I would suggest reservations. The interior is a bit older. I think beauty sometimes requires imperfections, but I'm sure that's just me. Personally, I love the interior.Pinocchio's strives to use local ingredients as much as possible in new and interesting ways. Favorites stay on the menu while weekly specials showcase the chef's ingenuity and skill. Plating and presentation are always spot-on, as are the portions. Service is great without being intrusive. And the food never disappoints. I'm partial to the salmon, and would recommend it regardless of garnish-of-the-day. Desserts are always a delight. As to the wine selection, it looks impressive, but honestly I always get Prosecco, so I will let others critique the wine list.Two thumbs up!

We popped in right as they opened and they had a table available - plan on making a reservation if you go.The service was excellent. We started with bruchetta which was nicely plated. I had a spinach and goat cheese lasagna which was excellent (but not as hot as I would have liked). My husband had shrimp with diavalo sauce requested as spicy. His meal arrived piping hot and was nice and spicy with perfectly cooked shrimp. We shared a limoncello cake for dessert which also was light and tasty.We were not rushed. The waitstaff was attentive but not intrusive. Not inexpensive but a good value. We'll be back.
