Tuesday night - It's community night! We have a table set for ten just waiting for you to come in, sit down, enjoy a nice meal and some wine, and meet some new friends. Just request to sit at the community table, and meet the others who have done the same. This is a new idea has gotten a lot of positive response, so what are you waiting for? Come on in! Everyone is welcome!

********************** You may have heard of Restaurant.com, a marketing tool for restaurants to find new customers. We participated in the program for about six months before we realized that the program wasn't working for us, so we tried to cancel (the first time) in March. They are still selling certificates to our restaurant six months later, so I have finally had to put them on notice that we are no longer accepting certificates. If you have purchased a certificate from them before August 17, 2010, we will honor it as long as all conditions are met. Any purchased AFTER August 17 will not be honored. So please, do not purchase any Restaurant.com certificates.... I hate to put my customers in the middle, but I don't know how else to get the company to stop selling the certificates except to stop accepting them. **********************

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday Nights we offer a three course meal for only $12.95; Thursdays we offer select bottles of wine for only $5 (you must purchase two entrees to qualify for the special $5 price; pizza and salad do not count.)

- Top Ten Answers to Most Frequently Asked Questions at Pinocchio's:
 
10.  Yes, you are in my section!  We all take care of everybody in our dining room, so that you get great service.  On the other hand, we try not to hover.  It is sometimes a delicate balancing act, so if you need something, feel free to wave any one of us down.
 
9.  No, we are not reopening for lunch - being open did not make fiscal sense.  Sorry.
 
8.  Yes, we will close the dining room to the public if you rent out the whole restaurant for your Christmas party or other event (capacity:  50).  This does not apply to Friday and Saturday nights, however.
 
7.  The freezer has been fixed, but continues to be wonky.  Thank you for your concern and your continued support!
 
6. Not only is the Italian in the kitchen "legal," he is now a U.S. citizen, as of July 28, 2010.  
 
5.  The bottle on the table is filled with Chianti wine, not balsamic vinegar.  Yes, you can drink it, and many do.  No, it is not homemade.
 
4.  Yes, we take reservations.  Leave them on the answering machine or with a dining room staff member (Tracy, Kim, Kay, or Sonja,).  Please, do not leave your reservations with Giuseppe.  He does not write your name down right no matter how many times you spell it to him.
 
3.  Our bread IS Italian bread, as it is made daily by the house Italian in the tradition of his family.  If you want crusty bread with a soft white center, well, he doesn't make it that way.  
 
2.  For those of you who state you are from New Jersey and expect REAL Italian food, I have bad news.  My real Italian chef has never been to Jersey.  But give him a try, anyway.
 
1. Yes, Giuseppe is married - to me! We finally tied the knot on Valentine's Day, 2010.
