The wife and I stayed overnight in Sanremo on our way to Tuscany and dropped into Pizzeria…read morePinocchio based on the good Yelp reviews, and the fact that it was close to our Hotel.
We were not disappointed; the pizza was indeed amazing. I ordered the artichoke and grana pizza and was blown away. The wife had the Diavolo and enjoyed it immensely as well. The crust was thin, perfectly cooked, and delicious, with that smoky flavor you only get from a wood-fired oven.
The surroundings were standard neighborhood eatery: low-brow and relaxed. No danger of a Michelin star appearing anytime soon. The waitress was quite friendly and the staff seemed capable of conversing in several languages (I heard pretty good English, German, French, and of course, Italian). As a bonus, the restroom, though basic, was clean, fully functional, and well stocked with soap and paper towels. Having eaten in many similar Italian eateries, this was quite a rarity.
Check your bill carefully. Whether by accident or design, they charged me for an extra drink that we hadn't ordered. No biggie, but the only blemish on an otherwise pleasant and tasty evening.
