Love Pinocchio's! Took a friend who had never been there she really liked it too. I like several things that I've had over the years. We have had several birthday dinners there, never disapointed. This time, for lunch, I had a cob salad - was large, filled with choice options, but I like the Big-Ass salad better. NOT complaining about the cob - it was good too just wanted try something different. This is a place you can close your eyes, point at something on the menue, or the specials and it wii be good.

Went to Pinocchio's for their famous steak dinner, and my old pal Phil Harmonic from Saigon went to Chris Ruth Steakhouse on my dime because I lost the bet! It was an 8 pound Weaverback Bellyhoop that he reeled in out on Lake Tahoe, and I bet him it was a Fallcrested Warmwabbler...And he was right! So.. here I am at Pinocchio's, and Phil is at Chris Ruth! Pinocchio's is always an Amazing dinner! ☆☆☆☆☆

I’m a foodie. I had the spaghetti and meatballs.
It had no real flavor, the sauce was watery and the meatballs did not taste like they were fresh.
Tried my friends ravioli and it didn’t taste fresh either
I’m guessing cheap ingredients and frozen food.
I won’t be back
Sorry Pinocchio’s but I’m being honest

In the area and first time here. Excellent service by a very friendly bartender Jamie ! She was fast efficient courteous and remembered everyone’s names ! They also had a great happy hour special - tried their chicken tenders with peppered blue cheese and drunken mushrooms. Both were very tasty ! I definitely recommend and will be back. I wanna try some of their steaks ! Sorry forgot to take pix of food was so hungry; looked and smelled great ate it up right away.

Visiting the area, we were looking for somewhere with great reviews and we were very excited for this place. It was actually disappointing. When we got there we were greeted so greatly. So we were like awesome this is going to be so good. Our server was super nice and helpful. We didn't appreciate that the server at the table next to us, was wearing a dress so incredibly short her bottom was handing out half of the time with a very revealing top as well. Some of the food advertised online were not even available. And the prices were definitely not the same. Me and my husband ordered the same dishes and my sauce was thick and his was runny. Not sure how that can even happen. The same went for two of the other people at our table. How can one be watery and one not? The seafood ravioli felt like it was over cooked with not much flavor. Definitely not worth the 25 minute drive to get there.

The food is very mid, I’d wager most of it is cooked from frozen , overpriced way overpriced

Horrible experience, I use to love this restaurant. They changed the menu completely. The food was so bad, cold and soggy. Also they raised the prices significantly which is okay. But the food doesn’t taste good at all to justify the price changes. As sad as I am to say this trust me pick another restaurant and save yourself the horrible experience

My parents recently moved to Sparks and my mother loves clam chowder. After searching for a close restaurant we went to Pinocchios. She liked the clam chowder, it's got a different taste with all the herbs but lots of clams! Well she had gone there several times after to get some to go but one day, guy with long beard told her she couldn't take it anymore to go. She asked if she could dine in and he said, no they didn't have enough! We'll, I'm not sure what is going on but we will not be ever going back.
Excellent service, amazing food & delicious beer. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone.

I love that this place is by my house, but there's only like 4 things good. On the menu, it seems like frozen food.

Food is good, service is amazing but don't enjoy seeing racist things such as old Aunt Jemima ads on the walls. Even Pepsi Co. and general mills changed it 4 years ago. I mentioned it to my server but she just brushed it off. It is offensive and dated.
