Pinocchio - Burbank

It's a Burbank Institute. Great for famies and everyone on a budget. Honestly, it's good for what it is. Low cost, no Frill's food. Portions are large and prices are reasonable. But you get what you pay for. We had Lasagna with meat sauce and a meatball. Sauce was super watery and nothing was especially on the taste of food. Only basic farewell good, but nothing special. With many options to choose, it can be a little overwhelming. The service is friendly, but a little rushed at the counter. Beer and wine (combed) available. Super plentiful bottle selection of wines I suspect you can buy for din in. Fountain and filled soft drinks.

We love this place. Every time we go to LA (we live in AZ) we make sure we make time to eat here. The food is amazing, the prices are great, especially for the area. There's always plenty of free parking, the staff is friendly, food is fresh, bathrooms spotless, it's clean and quiet, dim lighting which is great on a sunny day, comfortable seating and the best thing of all is it feels like walking into a time capsule, it doesn't look like there have been any major updates in a long time which is fantastic. Everything appears that it has been well take care of preserved. We love that feeling we get when going in there. It does not have that busy, over the top California vibe to it. This is easily in my top 3 places I've ever eaten anywhere in the country. PLEASE never do any big updates in there, we need more places like this.

Good food, affordable, friendly customer service, open seating and plenty of parking. Need to go back and buy from their deli and store. Everything looked so good!

This place is a Burbank institution! They offer a dine-in restaurant featuring many Italian favorites served in large portions, a full deli with all the meats and other fresh food, gelato bar, and a small grocery with tons of imported Italian products. A piece of Italy right on Magnolia! They renovated their dine-in area since last I visited, and it looks so much nicer with the charming booths and rustic decor. Popular with locals and nearby offices for their fast service at the food counter, where you order whether dine-in or to-go. They have their own parking lot, so no worries with that. Massive sandwiches are delicious and does not skimp on the deli meats at all! Not much a fan of their spaghetti in meat sauce though; seems too watered down and doesn't seem to be made from scratch. But you cannot go wrong with their deli sandwiches!

Great tasting food, great ambience, not overpriced. Edit: Came back a second time and the food wasn't very good. First time I had the lasagna second time was the chicken parm sub Rating dropped from 5 to 3 stars.
