Pinocchio Restaurant & Monte Carlo Italian Deli

I was first brought here when I was a little kid 30ish years ago, and I've been a regular ever since. Marinated mushrooms are the best, and it's a tossup between meat lasagna or spaghetti and sausage !

Get the SMALL sandwich unless you have the appetite of a horse. For under $8, you can get a small sandwich with two salads and have leftovers for the next day! I'm a fan of the meatball sub .

The veggie lasagna is fantastic! It is filling without the heavy meat and the sauce is to die for. Just sitting inside with the delicious aroma you are dying to try the food. And the gelato is amazing

We ordered spaghetti , lasagna , fettuccine and a pizza to go. All were amazing!!! Served with plenty of sauce. I want to go back????

Get either the small Monte Carlo combo or the small Meatball sandwich with provolone cheese & TWO side salads (I like the Greek and mixed bean) for under $10. Hearty, satisfying, cheap and deelish.

Offbeat L.A. tip: opened 1971. Bring your own wine for an inexpensive corkage fee .

the cheese on the gourmet pizza is heaven... (so is the lasaga) amazing deli and gelato too, highly recommended

This place is amazing, such great Italian food . In a quaint atmosphere . I love coming here with the family.

Casually kitschy Italian-American food, cafeteria-style. Fun puppet-themed ambiance.

Always fresh and delicious. One of my absolute new favorites in LA! Great catering for our studio sessions today too.

I drive here from afar just because the food is the greatest. My fav is the Monte Carlo Sandwich and Lasagne .

The store/deli is great and has pretty much everything Italian you'd need. Be sure to sign up for their mailer to get advance notice of sales.

Large portions of mediocre Italian food on the restaurant side; great Italian deli on the other side.

Come with family or friends, eat outside if you can and wrap it with Gelato . Heavenly Luncho.

Huge portions , friendly staff . Beef bolognese was hearty and tasty!

You can get two flavors per cup of gelato if you're like me and can't decide! I love the Caffe d'oro gelato !

Pizza is incredible. I always get rosemary chicken . Check out the incredible deli and market and grab the five flavor gelato on your way out.

If you get a sandwich (any 2 salads come with) you might want to choose half a sandwich ...I was told the whole was so big, many often can't finish them.

Be prepared to be stuffed for very little money. Great staff and excellent food. Recommend the veal with spaghetti and meat sauce.

Any of the lasagna are what's up!!

Best garlic bread , and marinated mushrooms in town !! Not to mention big portions for your dollar. :)

Unique way to serve...unique to LA anyway. Tables and trays, like a nice school cafeteria .

Best Italian Market and Deli around. Plus the restaurant 's fantastic. You can't go wrong.

Cafeteria style place with good food. The cannolis are a must!

Amazing little market/deli. Eggplant parm and sweet treats !

Plan on taking home leftovers!

Amazing food. Some of the best Italian I've ever had.

Make sure to order the "Bambino Cup" for five mini-scoops of Gelato . Each scoop can (should) be a different flavor.

Delicious (surprisingly light) veggie lasagna !

The vegetarian lasagna is the best. All the flavors come together. Yum!

Super cheap and amazingly tasty.

The ravioli is good, but the tortellini is the best

The food and the gelatos are wonderful!

I finally found a place in the L.A. area that has cannolis !

This was actually pretty good, and the gelato was WONDERFUL. Try the coconut Read more

Great Italian deli pastrami and salads

Meatballs are great!

Great food with large portions , and prices that won't break the bank

The pasta is bomb just ask for light sauce!!

The deli has every kind of pasta , olive oil , Italian meat, Italian cookie , plus lots of other ethnic ingredients.
