We had an antipasti with garlic bread to start with, followed by a very delicious vegetarian pasta accompanied by a nero d'avola and ended with a tiramisu. The food was very authentic Italian and we found out that the chef was Italian and the host Portuguese. The host always smiled and was very attentive - and we appreciated this down to earth and authentic Italian restaurant and would go there again anytime.

It was all delicious. The bruschetta was wonderful with bread that was nicely toasted and fresh tomatoes. My husband generally does not care for pasta with carbonara sauce but he loved the one at Pinocchio's. He said that if all carbonara was like this he would have it more frequently. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. There was crispy pancetta in the dish that was so tasty and it was not drenched in sauce. An absolutely wonderful dish. We had a 1/2 lt. of sangria with our lunch. It was the perfect meal. The service was very good. If we were in the Algarve longer we would definitely have returned.

After exploring some of the nearby beaches we were looking for some lunch so chose this based on reviews here. We certainly weren't disappointed. We got there shortly after they opened at 12:30 and decided to sit inside where it was much cooler. They've got a nice big partially sheltered patio too with plenty of seating. Delicious packaged breadsticks awaited us at our places which were great to take the edge off our hunger. My wife and I split a mixed salad (huge) and the four-cheese pizza. Both were great. Instead of Parmesan shakers they offer a delicious garlic sauce (minced garlic in olive oil) and/or red chili sauce (Calabrian chilies in olive oil) on the side which were great to add to the pizza for extra zing even though it was fine as is. Service was friendly and with all the restaurants in Portugal we've visited, English was spoken flier so there were no communication challenges. Great pizza and friendly service-recommended.

The pasta was cooked really well and the sauce was pretty good, wish it had more meat in it. I would try something different if I went again. -My mom got the linguini Michelangelo which she loved; prawns were cooked great. The service started off incredible. The entire waitstaff was very attentive to us and all took turns helping each table, however after it got busy we were kind of forgotten about. We had declined dessert and finished our meals and glasses and we just sat there for 20 minutes waiting for the check. Finally we got a servers attention and asked for it but she made us wait another 15 minutes while she bussed a 10-top table. I feel like she could have just quickly gotten our check to get us out of there since we had already been waiting so long but we finally could leave after about 30 minutes of sitting there with not even water.
