not very friendly environment for customers not to have any fun to eat at inside with a strange guy watching you eat the whole time

Fabulous place. Reminds me of Club 21 in NYC of old. Try the Dan Francisco burger. Say hello to JP.

It was fine - nothing special but edible - sort of hard to say anything more than that - had this meal hundreds of times at hundreds of places

The decor and atmosphere were 5s. Service was a 4+. Problem was management's policy of only 1 check per group--difficult for 12 individual customers plus a 20% gratuity for a group. It took us longer to figure out who had what and what their total was than it took to eat. Food was okay-soup and salad were the big hits. I had the chicken scallopini served over pasta,. Food was reasonably priced and portions were good. Our waitress was great-no one waited for anything and dirty plates were quickly removed, a big plus in my book. Their desert list was good and they serve the local ice cream which many of us ordered. Would we come back? Probably not as a group but certainly individually. The menu was very interesting and I enjoyed the fun decor and reasonably priced wine!

Pinocchio's is as LOCAL as you can get. What a staple here in the Reno/Northern Nevada area, and it's apparent when you look around the restaurant and you see many local businesses' vintage nooks and crannies, and even some influential global influences too. We haven't been to Pinocchio's in a long while, not since my a work event we had a few years back. So we opted to try it out again. Luckily, lunch menu options can be requested during dinner time, so I opted in for a chicken wrap, which was pretty good and flavorful. My husband's chicken tenders were straightforward, however, could have had a bit more flavor to pack into it. My water also tasted a bit off, it is in an older building - therefore, maybe it's the aging infrastructure and pipelines, but I couldn't quite look past it. The service was pretty good, we were sat, and met with some nice servers that were helpful. Overall, good atmosphere. Not sure who owns Pinocchio's now, but it was definitely better in the past. But if you want food that gets the job done and served with a smile, certainly, come down here.

First and foremost, being greeted by friendly faces, including JP - the owner, always starts a nice experience. The food is always good!! First time visit for our friends. They loved wandering through the restaurant looking at all of the memorabilities on the walls, hanging from the ceiling. Everywhere!!!! It was a fun lunch!!

Fun experience with lots of interesting decor on the walls and ceiling! Large portions: My friend and I split a Cobb salad and ordered a side of garlic bread, and we couldn't eat it all (believe me, we tried!). We will definitely go again.

I’m convinced that this is the best restaurant in town. The only reason I’d go elsewhere is because I want white table cloth and hyper attentive staff.

Love this place. For lunch, dinner, catering and private rooms and/or catering at your location. I hosted a holiday party in the upstairs room this year 2023 and it was perfect. Great space, tasty food and terrific service. Support local!
