We visited Pinocchio's for lunch and it was amazing! First the breadsticks were the best I've ever had! My friend got the Chicken Caesar Salad, big plate of fresh greens with warm chicken on top! I decided to order the pizza, 3 toppings of your choice, again a big pizza cut into 8 slices crust was perfect and pizza was delicious! Last was dessert (included with lunch). I had the lemon cake and she ordered the chocolate cake and we split it Both were moist and delicious! I can't wait to go back and try a pasta dish, by the way I am Italian and very picky, but I give Pinocchio's 5 Stars read more

This is how the night went... I ordered water with lime that got water with lemon. Not a huge deal but sign of how the rest of the night was going to go. Friend ordered chicken marsala and said no cheese on anything and we reiterated on anything. His food comes with asiago potatoes. What is asiago? Cheese. The server had the audacity to tell him that's how they come so next time he should order them without potatoes. He didn't know they were cheesy potatoes. It's her job to say they come with cheesy potatoes would you like to substitute it with something else. Mine and his wife's water were never refilled, and we were empty. He asked for a glass of water which never came so he had to ask again. So if the service wasn't bad enough, the food took care of it. It was terrible. I barely ate any of my chicken Parm. The sauce is so gross. It is just like canned tomato sauce dumped on the pasta. It had absolutely no seasoning. It just tasted like sugar so I didn't touch the pasta at all. The chicken was terrible. My friend didn't like the marsala and clearly could not eat the cheesy potatoes. The breadsticks we got were disgusting. They were practically white and doughy and undercooked. When I look at pictures of other peoples in the reviews that actually look baked ours look nothing like that they were horrible. How is this place in business? First and last time read more

it's good it's amazing. It's tasty. It's amazing. It's amazing. It's amazing. It's amazing. The service is amazing and the atmosphere is amazing and. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us in our ever long quest as former New Jerseyans to find good Italian food outside of NY & NJ. The room we were seated in looked like a spare room with some tables in it. This had to be the worst Italian food I've ever eaten. There was zero flavor. Just take a look at the pictures. read more

Pinocchio's - Weekend breakfast. Pumpkin spice bread - Italian Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

Even though we've lived in the Longmont area for over 20 years, today was the first time that we visited Pinocchio's. It's a small, cute restaurant. We were seated immediately. Initially my wife ordered a glass of sparkling water with lemon which was very good (I tried some). In Italy, sparkling water is called "frizzante". I ordered a glass of Chardonnay. Very yummy. My wife later ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio. That was delicious. We shared a bowl of pasta. It could have been a bit more al dente but it was tasty. There were only two servers, so service was a bit slow. Not too bad. Overall, a decent visit. We were stationed in Italy for four years at Aviano Air Base in northeast Italy. Cheers! read more

Reasonably priced, good food, lots of options, including gluten friendly. Nice stop for lunch while out shopping.

Delicious, fresh minestrone soup. Garlic bread, pesto past chicken , combo calzone , lemon and carrot cake BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT EVER!! read more

This place has really gone downhill in the past 5 years. I got the chicken Marsala and it tasted really gummy, and the side was sweet potatoes which were hard as a rock and completely inedible. I can't believe that dish costs $25 it was extremely overpriced and not quality Italian at all. I will never come back here but the waitstaff was friendly. read more

We have visited many times each year. The food and orders have gotten worse. Our last visit just yesterday the salad was a mess and small and lettuce was old. The dish I ordered came out wrong. The waitress finally took my order back after pointing out the second mistake with the dish. Disappointed and will not be back till ratings improve read more

The food and locals-ambiance are always wonderful! This restaurant is a favorite of ours---warm, delicious meals, and friendly service every time. I especially appreciate that they offer smaller portions and luncheon options for us. Breakfast choices on the weekends are also delicious. Recommend. read more

OK food. Ambiance and Service are top notch. I am not a fan of everything smothered in Marinara Sauce. More to Italian food than that. Minestrone is excellent. read more

Best Italian I've ever had! Pasta carbonate, Caesar Salad were just perfect. Atmosphere & service were v wonderful.

Food was great! Restaurant is clean, comfortable and casual, with some fun art on the walls. Wait staff was attentive but not intrusive. We used to enjoy Pinocchio's in Brighton before that location closed. We drove to Pinocchio's in Longmont and were not disappointed. My husband loves the clam linguini...I love the gluten free options. read more

Breakfast was excellent and the pumpkin spice bread was incredible. The wait staff was knowledgeable courteous and gave us time to make up our minds and then delivered our superb breakfast. Kudos to the kitchen staff, the plates were appetizing, generous portions, and everything cooked to perfection. If you're in Longmont I'd recommend you stop and try Pinocchio's! read more

They have mastered Pasta Carbonara! We add mushrooms and get it carry out! So thankful for this place and the consistency! Bravo Pinocchios!

We had a very enjoyable lunch in this warm, friendly Italian restaurant! Beautiful side salads, generous portions, and freshly prepared pastas and bread sticks. The decor is spacious with warm red walls and classic and famous black and white photos. The colorful flowered plates added to the joyful Italian vibe. The breakfast menu looks awesome too so will have to visit again soon. It has about 6 different Benedict's, omelettes, and sweet treats, and the usual eggs and meats. Everything was delicious! read more

I have never, ever, been to a restaurant where the food was literally inedible. I ordered the tortellini, and it tasted like rancid clam meat and something else that was also rotting. Worst restaurant I have ever been to. Food poisoning on a plate for $25++++++ read more

The food was fresh homemade and promptly served. While not hardly reminiscent of trattoria in Italy there is a welcoming atmosphere and homely feel My wife had gluten free lasagna with mushroom medley which she said melted in her mouth. I have Chicken Tiamo, again with homemade pasta and moist tender chicken. We ordered apple crisp and bourbon pie to go. Altogether a jewel hidden in a commercial backwater. read more

I had a gnocchi with chicken and pesto was a lot good for me really rich too, comes with a salad and breads before they serve the meal. My husband love his tortellini he ate all. The service was fast. read more

Pinocchio's - Bathroom - Italian Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

Used to love this place. Terrible experience. Ordered Chicken Parmesan and asked for substitute Alfredo as I cannot digest red sauce . Chicken was served burnt, husband asked for side of marina and was charged additional for sides of marina and Alfredo on top of the entree charge. Service is terrible. Avoid. read more

Food here is so good every time!! Have never had bad anything if you just want some really great Italian go to Pinocchio's in Longmont! The service is always good as well! read more

We really like this place (and the one in Loveland). Was just there with a large group of out-of-towners and had a great time. Chicken parm comes with pasta and veggies which is a nice difference. Meatballs are big. Dessert was great. And the breadsticks are freaking awesome. Everyone was stuffed. Service was solid especially considering the large group. read more

If I tell a lie about Pinocchio's, may my nose never stop growing... My biggest complaint after dining here for the first time is the wait staff. It was a good 10 to 15 minutes before my waitress came over tonight to take my order. I honestly started wondering if she had a shift change and left for the night. She seemed to be in a hurry to take my order, ripping the menu out of my hand and dashing away before I even stopped talking. Why the rush when the dining room is empty? One thing that really bothers me is when I am given a dish with the food being scolding hot to bite into and the wait staff doesn't give you a heads up. I burned my mouth. The food itself was so so. The bread sticks were odd looking. The place was so dimly lit I could barely see the menu. Waitress didn't ask me about dessert, etc. Just planted the check and left. This place deserves every bit of it's overall 2 star review. Not a fan. And my nose hasn't grown since writing this review read more

The breadsticks are clouds basted in butter, absolutely delicious. We found this place kind of accidentally a month ago and just had to go back. I think it's really good, we had family visiting from out of town both times we went there and everyone seemed pleased with their food. Service was a little bit slow, but I only saw one waitperson there, so with that in mind, she was absolutely a rock star, balancing the whole restaurant like that. We're definitely planning to go back. read more

The portions are large and delicious. The bread sticks are fabulous. We are new to the area and this place was recommended to us by a local. Good choice. read more

Delicious! Friendly staff and nice ambiance. The food is excellent and fresh. I do recommend this spot for some fantastic Italian.

What a nice find this place is. The food is delicious. It has a warm cozy feeling. Everyone was great with Covid rules. We felt safe, very clean. Breadsticks are so warm , seasoned just right. I had a yummy calzone. Great service, enjoy! read more

Food is fantastic, love their pesto chicken, and their eggplant parmesan. The service is promp,and attentive. They are off the regular reastaurant path. But very much worth taking a trip for fantastic Italian meal. read more

Children's menu and actual food was a great surprise. My kids loved it and can't wait to return. I ordered canoli and thought it was tasty. Bread was good. Loved it came with meal. No extra charges. Will definitely be back. The live guitar entertainment was amazing. Thout it was a CD piped in music at first. This place will be my crave for Italian. read more

We used to love this place. I could tell they are having trouble... they are cutting corners with everything. Coffee tastes like water, hollandaise a package mix. Asked for tomato juice and they didn't have any, not even in the bar where they use a mix for Bloody Marys. Potatoes and eggs had a funny flavor... like old oil. Won't be back. read more

This place is amazing. I was greeted at the door by a wonderful waitress that took our order. She was happy, upbeat and made my night. We came in late and she accommodated our order. Thank you Erin for making dinner easy. The chicken was out of this world. Best Italian I've ever had! read more

I hate to give a lower review to an Italian restaurant as it's one of my favorite types of food. However, this place didn't do much for either of us. We came shortly after opening so maybe it's gotten better (Yes, I am late in reviewing, it happens) but we felt like it was, as my DH put it, "a fancy place for people used to eating fast food or Applebee's" - in other words, it wasn't for us. The sauce was bland, the bread not well seasoned, and the service just ok. But that said, it's one of only a few Italian places in Longmont so if you really like that type of food, I recommend trying it out for yourself! read more

Had lunch here, on this snowy May day. We were the only customers, and the lady who sat and served us sure did like to point that out. We were pleasant with her, thinking she'd eventually warm up to us, but no. She didn't want to wait on us and she made it very clear lmao! We ordered the Italian sodas, half moon fried cheese appetizers, lasagne, and chicken ravioli. The lasagne was... mushy? lol that's the only way to describe it, because it was tasteless and uninspired. I didn't finish and didn't want to take the rest home. I got to try the chicken ravioli, that was tasty enough. The best part of the meal were the Italian sodas. Not trying to be mean, but we both agreed. They were so yummy! Last part of the experience was... gross. An employee was in the bathroom stall next to me and left without washing their hands. Went straight out the door from the stall. Nasty. Hoping it wasn't Kitchen staff, but our "lovely" waitress was the only waitstaff, and she wasn't in that bathroom. All said, we had a fun time because we just bring the fun, no matter the circumstances! Hopefully our waitress is in a better mood by now! I won't be rushing to go back here anytime soon, unless I want a delicious Italian soda. Even then, I can't get the thought out of my head that an employee left the bathroom without washing their hands. Ick read more

AMERICANIZED Italian, plain and simple. If you are looking for AUTHENTIC Italian cuisine, go elsewhere. Nice waitstaff; good service... the bathrooms could DEFINITELY use a second door (or stronger fan). But the food was very "meh" for the price. read more
