Pinocchio - Burbank

This restaurant in Burbank is a must-visit! They have a Dine-in option that serves up delicious Italian dishes in generous portions, a deli with a variety of meats and fresh foods, a gelato bar, and a small food store stocked with imported Italian products. Located on Magnolia, they have recently renovated their dining area, giving it a charming and rustic look. The restaurant is popular among locals and nearby office workers for its quick service at the food counter, whether you choose to dine in or take your meal to go. They have their own parking lot, so parking is not a problem. The sandwiches are huge and tasty, especially with the deli meats. I wasn't a big fan of their spaghetti with meat sauce, as it tasted watered down and not homemade. However, you can't go wrong with their deli sandwiches!

I absolutely adore this place. It's exactly what I envision an American Italian restaurant to be. I have visited with my family multiple times, and not only is the food delicious, but there is also a wide range of drink selections available - from wine to beer to alcohol-free options.

I absolutely loved the ambience and the service was excellent. The waitresses were friendly and had a diverse range of outfits, from sparkling mini dresses to jeans and t-shirts. We sat on the cozy covered terrace, which was a beautiful spot to enjoy our meal. I ordered the Butternut Squash Ravioli and my friend had the Monte Carlo sandwich. Both dishes were delicious, and the sandwich even came with a side of potato salad which was the best I've ever had. We also ordered a lasagna and another sandwich to go, along with the decadent chocolate cake and amazing carrot cake. This restaurant not only serves fantastic food, but also offers a variety of Deli options. The staff were efficient and quick, with a mix of younger and older employees who all seemed to work well together. It felt like a family-run establishment, which was really heartwarming to see. I wish there were more places like this one! Highly recommend giving it a try.

Great tasting eating, great ambiente, not overpriced. edit: came back a second time and eating was not very good. the first time I had the second time lasagna, the chicken parm had fallen from 5 to 3 stars.

Authentic, deli-style Italian food. Prices that can't be beat.Great interior decor and small outdoor eating area. I feel like I'm in Brooklyn in 1973 when I eat there it's great!
