MenuPinocchio’s is a family tradition that spans 4 generations. My great-grandparents first opened a restaurant in Los Angeles over 80 years ago. It was transformed into an Italian deli and, in 1959, under the ownership of my grandparents, the first sit-down restaurant was born. They added a couple more stores over the years and then relocated to Sonora in 1975. My parents then opened a restaurant in the early 1980s in Merced and later opened a location back in Sonora in The Plaza in 1997. I took over in 2015 which makes me the fourth generation of my family to own a restaurant. In January of 2026, we moved to our current location which offers more space and comfort for our patrons.
We specialize in quality oven-baked sandwiches, soups, salads, pastas, and homemade sauces in a relaxed atmosphere. Also, try one of our delicious desserts. We offer cannoli, tiramisu, and eight flavors of gelato.
My family and I thank you so much for your patronage, loyalty, kindness, support and for choosing Pinocchio’s. We are blessed continuously by each and every one of you. We value our customers and will always continue to bring you the best, freshest, and most delicious food we can offer. We look forward to seeing you soon.
