Il Pinocchio Italian Restaurant directions
"Il Pinocchio "... an evocative name for this traditional Italian restaurant, whose decor combines oak and exposed stone with ochre and burnt orange-tinted walls. Adorable, discreetly suspended marionnettes blend in with the enchanting interior to transport you right into the imaginary universe of the adventures of the boy puppet Pinocchio.


This restaurant's hushed, welcoming ambiance perfectly illustrates the world of Carlo Collodi, author of this masterpiece, a wonderful story where dreams take hold upon reality.
As for the cuisine, the dishes are full of savoury ingredients, like preserved tomatoes, marinated aubergines, Sicilian-style mussels and clams, Bresaola roquette salad, and San Daniele ham.
The homemade pasta is simply delicious, always accompanied by unique sauces : papardelli with mushrooms and black truffle cream sauce, agnolotti with gorgonzola cheese and walnut cream sauce, seafood linguini, rigatoni with aubergines and mozzarella di Bufala, and the very popular tagliatelli with orange and cinnamon sauce.
The meat and fish are cooked in the purest of Italian traditions. Dishes like these are sure to ravish even the most refined of palates: stuffed scallops with San Daniele ham and mozzarella cheese, or braised tuna with pesto and tomatoes.


For die-hard pizza fans, "Il Pinocchio" offers a unique range, including the "Marguerita della Mamma" with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella di Bufala, the "Pinocchio" with bresaola sauce, roquette leaves and parmesan cheese, as well as the "Gepetto" with San Daniele ham, roquette leaves and olive oil.
For dessert, try the strawberry tiramisu, the limoncello, baba cake, the chocolate semifredo, or even the house raspberry pannacotta.


It's a symphony of aromas, infinitely brimming with new flavours. The chef's talent shines in all of these original, artful delicacies. Everything. the antipasto, the dishes, and the elaborate desserts are all made with finesse. And as for the wines, all of the regions of Italy are represented, including Sicily, Sardinia, Lombardy and Lazio... with wines like Rubizzo, Tuscany's Brunello di Montalcino, Abruzzo's Don Camillo Farnese, Puglia's Llemos de Castris and Piedmont's Barolo Marchesi.
Come share a part of this marvelous story with us.
The restaurant has two floors: the ground floor, for smokers, and a downstairs room, with a fireplace, for nonsmokers. The terraces are opened as soon as weather permits.
