Pinocchio Restaurant

Great food and prices. Behind the counter servers can be a little "grumpy" at times. I sometimes feel like I'm being an inconvenience. Love the atmosphere and the music. For me, better to visit during the week, as it gets quite busy on weekends, which speaks to how popular this place is.👍

I hadn’t been there in years and unfortunately thought of it when I was looking for a place to take a friend for lunch in Burbank. We ordered the meatball sandwich and it was absolute awful. The meatballs were dry and came out of what seemed like hot water. They were not cooked in sauce. I have never seen that. I should have changed my mind right then,, but was hungry and went ahead with my order. There was no cheese offered on the sandwich. We had to ask for it, and the man ripped up a piece of provolone with his fingers, jammed it in the bread and then put the dry meatballs on top. He then proceeded to put meat sauce all over it. He didn’t ask if we wanted meat sauce or marinara although they asked the man next to us. The man helping us was rude did not seem like he wanted to be bothered and seemed irritated when we asked a question about a different sandwich prior to ordering. The salads (sides) did not taste good at all. They lacked flavor and seemed like they had been sitting there for quite some time. Lastly, both my friend and I got exactly the same thing yet our orders were two different prices. I’m not quite sure why that was. We ate very little of the food and felt sick a

We live in Long Beach and picked up our friends in Culver City just to come and check this amazing place out. We loved the food, especially the eggplant parmesan, but the experience is what really made our evening special. We sat in the middle dining room that truly seemed frozen in time, in a great way. We loved the booths, we loved the light fixtures, and we especially loved the artwork! If you go, be sure to also check out the adjoining store as it's packed with treasures you can't find anywhere else. We bought an assortment of delicious homemade cookies that will be accommodating our morning coffee for the next several days. This place is truly a local treasure!

Always seen this growing up in the Valley, but first time trying this in 2025 on a Friday night around 7pm. Pastrami sandwiches are my favorite and go-to’s, but I asked the chef what he recommended, Pastrami or Roast Beef, he asked you like hot or cold? I said hot. He recommended the Pastrami (On Roll). After ordering it, the lady next to me said the Pastrami is really good here, great choice! I couldn’t wait to try it. The chef went to get the fresh, hot Pastrami in the kitchen in the back, and stuffed the roll with a huge amount of meat. Then he added a delicious seasoned tomatoes & onions mix, and asked if I wanted mustard on the bread, I said yes! everything on it please! For $12, it was great and filling. I love places that don’t skimp out on the amount of protein, and boy they stuffed that sandwich. When I bit it outside, since I got to-go, it was warm, juicy, messy, and a great sandwich overall! I highly recommend and will be coming back, great 1st impression! - LaynoProd
