Pinocchio in Nürnberg

The pizzas and salad are super delicious, definitely recommended.

Super-delicious pizzas, good pasta, good salads, cozy little pizzeria! I love going there 🤗

The best Italian food in Nuremberg, I highly recommend it..

On the evening of August 5, 2025, my husband and I visited Pinocchio's restaurant, the Osteria, to round off our short vacation in Nuremberg. Initially, we were impressed by the concept of separating the restaurant from walk-up customers by creating a separate snack bar where takeaway food is sold. We loved the ambiance with its amusing photos on the walls. We both ordered bruschetta and a pizza to share, which blew us away. The thin crust practically crackled with crispness when cut, just like we've come to expect from advertisements that can't keep their promises. Here, however, nothing was promised at all, and we were all the more pleasantly surprised. Our pizza also tasted fantastic—no overpowering cheese, just a wonderful aroma. That's exactly what we imagine an Italian pizza to be. The service was also excellent. As a farewell from the kitchen, my husband chose a grappa, and I, who rarely drinks alcohol, also received a free espresso, which I was very pleased about. The Italian restaurant is not centrally located and is probably frequented by locals, so it's not just a tourist restaurant. It's worth a detour to enjoy really good Italian food at a reasonable price. It's easily accessible by public transport. We were lucky that the walk from our hotel wasn't too far. We were completely thrilled!

The pizzeria used to be very good! Now the pizzas have very little topping and are very salty.

We had pasta dishes here and the service was quick and friendly. The food was excellent and well-priced.

Just bought it and it contains a hair. Very gross 🤢 and unsatisfying.

One of the best pizzas of my life

I was supposed to pick up my pizza in half an hour. You look forward to a pizza at work. I picked up my pizza half an hour later sharp. The pizza was so cold and didn't have much topping. Since you can't find anything else at that time of day, I could only eat half and threw the other half away. And after half an hour, I had a stomach ache and circulatory problems. I think there's something wrong with the cheese. I know you don't give a damn, but you're not getting another cent from me.

Estábamos en esta zona de Nuremberg y buscando un restaurante italiano. Encontramos este restaurante y pudimos sentarnos afuera, durante un clima encantador. El personal era muy amable y la pizza italiana mejor que la media y mejor de lo esperado. Una recomendación para ir allí.

For me the very best pizzas in all of Nuremberg

Whether bruschetta, pizza, salad, or panna cotta, everything is delicious. Small restaurant, reservations recommended.

The pizzas here are truly excellent 🍕 the dough is just as it should be. The flavor is also amazing. Even the other dishes look very sophisticated, which you wouldn't expect here.

Delicious pizza super nice staff

Quality Italian cuisine!!! Very tasty dishes!! Very good!

Great pizza. We've been ordering from here for over 8 years.

We are talking an Italian pizzeria with top quality chef and ingredients! A must visit!

I can recommend it with a clear conscience. Food is very tasty. The pizza has plenty of toppings.

One of the best pizza places in the city.

Takeaway usually takes 15 - 20 minutes from the time you order! Very tasty pizza!!!!!!

Nice service, good food (lasagne and spaghetti). Absolutely good price/performance ratio. Recommended.

Food top nice and small always again prices very good

Delicious pizza that was ready quickly. Unfortunately a bit soft in the middle. Unfortunately, it was quite loud in the restaurant, so it was difficult to understand the person I was talking to. The staff was mainly busy cleaning up even though the restaurant was still full.

Cozy pizzeria with delicious food.

I'm just amazed by everything there is And I can only recommend him to go and let yourself be pampered with delicious food and drinks and dessert is of course part of it, I just love it so much ❤👍🤗💋❤

A wolf in sheep's clothing! The shop looks like the classic German-Italian village shop and so you go in with certain expectations. The classic pizza that you give a 5/10, but you thought wrong!! What awaits you here is a 10/10! The pizza is fresh, from a good oven, with selected and fresh ingredients, at reasonable prices. A fantastic meal that you don't have to wait long for. We rushed in with 14 people and were all excellently looked after. Thank you for the lovely evenings!

Speciale pizza which costs 11.5€. First time in this restaurant. Cash register nice, food delicious✨

Absolutely solid pizzaria. Service 1a, huge pizza that tastes really good and absolutely fair prices. If we are in N again we will definitely go there again

Very tasty food with absolutely friendly service. The prices are also acceptable. The ambience could be worked on a bit, but that's really complaining on a high level! We'd love to come back!!!

delicious pizza with fast service

Well that was a revelation, this pizza was amazing and the tortellini al forno were such a hit. I would like to go there again. Despite the volume.

Very good pizza, usually not long waiting times.

We landed there spontaneously yesterday and were thrilled. Super tasty, nice-sized wood-fired pizza with a thin, crispy base, fresh ingredients and simply delicious. The Pinocchio salad beforehand was also fresh and delicious. We'd love to come back. ☺️

It is loud when the small restaurant is full but the food is great

Pizza and salads TOP, service perfect, thank you.

Tastiest pizza in the region 😍😍

Real Italian food. Tiramisu is superb. Everything is satisfying. Recommended!!!

Very very tasty! Original Italian! Top!

A small, inconspicuous pizzeria. You can't complain about the quality of the pizza, the prices are okay too! There's a lot going on after 6 p.m. Definitely worth a visit!

The pizzeria also has an attached restaurant. I ordered a Diavolo pizza and ate it in the bistro-like shop. The atmosphere was very nice. The pizza tastes excellent.

Had a pizza Diavolo and lasagna. The pizzas were large and both tasted very good. The food came very quickly and the staff was also nice.

In my opinion one of the best and most authentic Italians far and wide. The day menu is particularly highly recommended.

A good Italian cuisine restaurant. Positive experience

Very friendly staff and great quality of the food. Gladly again at any time!

Makes a very authentic impression. The fact that a lot of Italians come to eat here is another indication. Was there for the first time and was very impressed. Food was excellent.

Very friendly and fast service as well as good food

Very good Italian food! Authentic service! Gladly again!

It's been a long time since I've had such good pizza. Everything was very tasty, the salad, the bruschetta, the gnocchi. The waiter was very nice.

I enjoyed it very much. Definitely go there more often.

Delicious food, real prices and friendly people. Gladly again. Easy to reach by public transport.

Went for dinner with a large group (17 people) after an event there in the evening (9 p.m.) with a reservation. I have now found my favorite pizzeria in my area, but at Pinocchio I have to say the 4 cheese pizza (with extra sucuc) was really delicious. Dough is rather thin and tastes very good. The toppings are definitely enough and the pizza is big enough to feed a grown man. Service was quick, courteous, friendly and personable. Gladly again!

Been there several times. Every time everything is great: food, service, ambience. Can only be recommended! Tastes like a real Italian pizza!

Super delicious 😋. Called, ordered, 10 minutes later we had the pleasure of eating this delicious pizza. What we didn't manage to eat could easily be eaten the next day. Great dough! People know how it works. Please don't let up. The price is fair, we will come back.

Very tasty food, pasta or pizza - both great!!! Prices are also very good.

The best pizzeria near Nuremberg-West. Prices are ok, highly recommended. Very fast and on time 👍

Delicious pizza, great base and ready in no time.

Enjoy your pizza salads, I don't recommend lasagna

The pizza was sparsely topped and was swimming in oil. Once and never again. Significant price difference when consumed on site or when picked up.

Had dinner there with the family yesterday and had pizza and a salad. Everything was very tasty and the service took good care of us.

Very good pizzas 🍕 with fantastically good dough. Very small pizzeria with a small menu, but with authentic Italian cuisine. Like in Bella Italia. 🤩

Very good pizzas and pasta dishes

A good menu and excellent pizza.

Rarely have I had such good pizza. Terrific.

The pizza was delicious and the service was friendly. The atmosphere is rather simple.

Best pizza in Germany! The food is terrific!

If you want to eat a good pizza you will find it here! Thanks for the good pizza 🍕

Super friendly, super tasty, very rich pizza. Location and ambience not that great. Recommendation: take food with you

Our pizza was delicious. We sat outside in the small beer garden, even during the week when the weather is nice we recommend reserving a table

Unrealistically delicious Italian pizza, lasagna. Super, I recommend

Unfortunately, you always had to call if you wanted something, and no one came and asked if you wanted something else.

Very tasty, good Italian cuisine. Friendly staff and all at fair prices! Always my pleasure

A sweet little Italian. The food is really delicious.

Cosy, great pizza and friendly staff

Great pizza dough, great toppings, fantastic ham, friendly staff

Friendly, decent food with a daily menu. Fair price.

Just like you would imagine with an Italian. Pizza 🍕 totally delicious and big. The seafood pasta with lots of garlic and good portion size. I will come back.

Lasagna was a total disappointment today. You had to look for more than 13 layers of pasta, sauce and meat. The lasagna couldn't be eaten with a spoon; it actually had to be cut with a knife. A pity.

Very good down-to-earth wood-fired pizza. Good Italian wine at a moderate price. Family service.

Recommended the food was very good. The service was very good. The portions are good.

Very cozy restaurant, great food and great service.

The food was very tasty. There are deductions for the glass or canned artichokes that the pizza was topped with. For the price and the rather upscale menu, I would have expected something fresher. Unfortunately, you could hardly taste any amaretto with the tiramisu. And if you sit outside, the loud ventilation can be a bit annoying.

The food at Pinocchio is always great... no matter which pizza I've tried so far, they're all delicious. The tortellini are particularly recommended. My tip is to eat something small so that there is still room left for the excellent tiramisu :D are always happy to be there..for larger groups it is advisable to call and reserve in advance..

The restaurant looks a bit inconspicuous from the outside. However, the food (we all had pizza) was very tasty. The personnel is very friendly and courteous. The food was brought quickly and we didn't have to wait very long, even though the restaurant was very busy. We'd love to come back.

Tasty and fresh, we had fun, keep it up...thank you, very good value for money.

Very friendly reception. Very good pizza good size fresh and good quality. Always happy 🤝👌 compliments to the whole team.

Very tasty Italian food prepared with a lot of love and in a family business

Waren als Familie dort. Hatten an einem Samstag Abend nicht reserviert, aber man konnte uns trotzdem noch einen Tisch freischaufeln. Haben ausgezeichnet gegessen und es gab sehr gutes Bier. Das Service war super freundlich, einfach top. Ein muss, wenn man das Hotel in der Nähe hat und auch sonst gut per U-Bahn erreichbar.

Really delicious pizza! Unfortunately, extra requests are difficult - if you don't like the ingredients, they are left out, but the price remains the same... Of course not the other way around! Pizza arugula, tomatoes, parmesan would be great!

A really excellent restaurant! The food at its best and the ambience is, for me, a little piece of Italy in Nuremberg. Recommendation goes out!

Really good pizza, get the best quality every Sunday

Food is very good and plentiful. Due to the small size of the guest room, it is unfortunately very loud and not very comfortable.

Super leckerer und frischer Wolfsbarssch als Filet perfekt zubereitet.Kartoffeln auch gut. 19,90 Euro. Sehr guter Lugana 0.2 = 7,20, kleines Glas 3,60. sehr fair! Bedienung nicht besonders unfreundlich.

Very good pizza!!! Of course there is also delicious pasta and a highly recommended daily menu. Nice team, fair prices - we are here at least once a week 😊

For me, this is one of the best pizzerias in Nuremberg.

The food is always good whether in the restaurant or to take away

We were there for my wedding. A lot of effort was put into it, the pizza is great and the starters made especially for us were delicious. We will be back :)

A small Osteria with good service and delicious food. We had a family celebration there and felt we were in good hands. Thank you!

Perfect!!!! Great staff, very good food, quality, everything is just TOP!!!!

Really very good cuisine at affordable prices. Attentive staff. Gladly again at any time...

Abbiamo preso 3 pizze e un piatto di rigatoni. Tutto davvero buono. La pizza aveva un impasto perfetto rendendola leggera. La pizza diavola, per i miei gusti, con meno aglio sarebbe stata perfetta. Il tiramisù era top!
