Pinocchio Sanchez Bustillo is praised for its authentic Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, especially its thin-crust pizzas and hearty pasta dishes, which consistently receive positive remarks for flavor and portion size. The restaurant’s location near a cultural landmark adds to its appeal, attracting both locals and tourists. Customers appreciate the fair pricing and efficient service, although some note language barriers with staff. The unique thematic decor blending da Vinci and Pinocchio elements provides a distinctive dining atmosphere. While food and service are generally commended, drink prices are considered relatively high. Overall, the brand is recognized as a charming, affordable option delivering quality meals in a vibrant setting.

I had some delicious pasta bolognese and a brownie for desert! Nicely located next to the museum. Not too expensive either.

We accidentally discovered this wonderful gem while walking around the area finding a place for dinner. Quirky theme of marrying da Vinci s work with Pinocchio. The staff doesn't speak any English and barely understands it, but the menu is helpful and they are able to figure out what we want quickly. We relished both our spaghetti dishes... In pesto and arabbiata sauces. The bread basket with sticks and freshly baked bread was heavenly. Go for the veggie soup only if you can stomach a thick, flavourful broth. The brownie with ice cream and chocolate sauce was also a good reminder of sizzling brownies available across Bombay. We also ordered a Margherita pizza with mushroom toppings which was decent, but we've had better. I particularly liked the fact that it didn't have a very thick crust. Also go for the sangria if you want a refreshing but sweetish beverage.

We ordered Bolognese pasta, 4 cheese pizza. Both dishes were very tasty. Paste is a large portion, the pizza has delicious cheese. Pizza on thin dough. The order was delivered quickly. The waiter is very friendly.For a sufficiently touristic place, the food is inexpensive and tasty. Each position cost us 13 euros. But drinks are quite expensive, about 3.5-4 euros. But in general, the check is not very expensive.
