Wonderful! Would love to go back again to try other menu items :)
The staff was friendly and was seated promptly. They were attentive. However, the pizza was too salty and doughy - I did not enjoy it at all. The bill was also incorrect however that was quickly corrected and not disputed when pointed out that there was extra charges. I have been informed that the restaurant food was very good previously. It might have been a bad day but unfortunately, I would not be going back again in a hurry.
We enjoyed a lovely meal with great service, however almost left before being seated when initially told that corkage would cost $15.00 for our bottle of wine. The pasta was a little on the small side, but tasty. We also shared a pizza. A fun time at a restaurant I remember having been to perhaps a decade or two ago.
Excellent! It was a great place to eat and we found the service to be very good. We would definitely come back to eat there again.
Good, personable service without being over the top. We shared a mussels entree and a pizza 🍕 and thoroughly enjoyed them both. I lived around the corner 20 years ago and was a regular at the old Pinocchio but this was my first time at the modern iteration. I will return.

Having eaten pasta the night before we settled on meat main courses - chicken Marsala with roasted klipfer potatoes and broccolini and porterhouse steak with pepper sauce , roasted klipfers, roasted cherry tomatoes and asparagus. Both were excellent - the chicken Marasala was probably the best we have had. The steak was well cooked to the medium requested. Service was friendly and efficient. Only (very) slight negative comment was that it took about 45 mins for our food to arrive despite the restaurant not being that busy. But, the food was definitely worth the wait. Highly recommended. Fair prices and they are BYO if you want that, at $10 bottle corkage
Fantastic food, atmosphere and the most incredible staff. We keep coming back for more. Their pizzas are with out a doubt the best in Melbourne.
We had a lovely dinner, great food, wine and service, a very relaxed dining experience.
The food is absolutely amazing and the staff are just fantastic! Very friendly and super accommodating Been coming to Pinocchio’s since I was little and definitely on a high under this management Would highly recommend
Sensational service only surpassed by the incredible food....Time and time again. We have taken many guests there to showcase One if South Yarras great eats.
Food has changed since last time I went. Pasta is no longer fresh, sauce is now basic store bought, disappointing as this used to be one of my favourite restaurants
The food and drinks were pretty good and came quickly, staff were friendly but found that it was a little expensive for what it is.
We had a great night celebrating Father’s Day. The pizza was delicious and we loved the bruschetta too. Service was great. Thank you for a great night.
We came here for dinner and they have excellent thin crust wood oven pizzas! Very simple and tasty and with the perfect crispiness too - delicious!
Pinocchios is an old Melbourne institution. It has had a contemporary facelift. Great family restaurant or for casual dining. The food is amazing- great gourmet pizzas & delicious pastas. Try the truffle fries!!
Fantastic food and service!!! Can’t wait to come back and experience it all again. The staff were very attentive and the food was incredible and fresh.
Food was good and service was great. Staff were friendly. Antipasto was nice. Risotto was good. Calamari was average. Pasta was good. Coffee was average
Love this restaurant. Pizza and pasta is amazing, conveniently located on Toorak road, only a short walk from South Yarra train station. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.
Enjoyed the dinner, great wine, mains etc. would like to try the meter long pizza for my next visit. Hopeful can grab dinner with the family .
Food was lovely but the waitress messed up our order twice which was rather annoying. Pizza was great and the kids loved the fried dough sticks with mayo.
This restaurant always delivers. Parma nights on Thursdays don't disappoint - A delicious, generous parma with chips and salad and a beer or wine for $20 is great value. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Won't be my last visit!
The metre pizza is worth trying! We also valued this restaurant as kid's and baby friendly. It's perfect location to have a party with friends!!
The staff were pleasant and helpful even though it was a Saturday night and they were run off their feet. The service was excellent. Food was great, nicely presented
Great food & service. I had had a great night for my 18th Birthday. All my friends said the food was great also. Thumbs up
Pizzas are great... tasty not too thick.. fresh toppings and a good selection.. pasta was very fresh and good serving size !! I ordered fresh chili on the side.. of as disappointed when the waitress asked for it after 5 mins of putting in on my table... very strange Service was okay... But overall food is great ... a bit expensive for pizza
We arrived for a farewell lunch to find the restaurant closed. We were made very welcome at Café Republic a few metres up Toorak Road who accommodated us on a busy Thursday before Easter in a back room.
We booked a booth for 4 people for my partners Birthday- the main meals were so fresh, including my partners seafood Fruti Di mare. The staff also came out singing happy Birthday during cake time and when we were the last ones there, staff didn't rush us to leave which was really nice.
Fantastic pizza and great service. Food is consistently good every time we visit 😊👍 We always return to Punocchios if we want a great pizza! Pasta is very good too! And always feel welcome with our kids too.
It was a pretty good meal, our waitress forgot a couple things which was disappointing because we were 1 of 3 tables there but other than that it was better than average Italian.
Our dinner at Pinocchio's was very good! The service was professional, yet relaxed, and the food was delicious as always! Very nice gluten free options as well!
Good pizzas, good service, friendly people........but this Sth Yarra institution restaurant has gone upmarket, particularly the prices. It's a pity as I preferred the old style.
Good food, good atmosphere. Lovely staff! Also do great drink specials
We were greeted with very friendly person. They serve great food and have really nice ambience too. It is ideal for date, family and friends gathering.
Pizzas were outstanding. toppings were fresh and not overloaded. We also loved the happy hour drink prices before 7pm...... so get there early! Will return.
Greeted at the door by Marco, very friendly and helpful with menu choices. We started with Aroncini balls, delicious! Then onto the main of veal, kale and mash potatoes Which, again, was absolutely delicious . Great experience, would highly recommend this Restaurant.
Delicious food, cheerful service. Noisy at times but only because people are having fun so if you're looking for a quiet conversation, maybe try somewhere else. I've been here several times and every time the food has been wonderful.
Food was amazing and so was the service. Pork belly is a notch above. We will come back for sure. Highly recommended. Thanks a lot
