Uncompromising Italian cuisine, made day after day with hands, heart, and the best ingredients you can find between Naples and La Gombe.
At Pinocchio, dough is prepped the night before, sauces simmer from morning, the wood-fired oven never sleeps. Our menu changes with the seasons, but one thing stands: the generosity in the kitchen.
Our house comes in three worlds — the Cucina where you sit down to eat, the Grosseria where you take a piece of Italy home, and the Cicletta that delivers across Kinshasa.
« We don't serve a meal. We invite you home. » — Pinocchio, since 2014

An Italian-Congolese team. Antonio has been shaping fresh pasta since day one, Solange reigns over the desserts. Every plate that leaves our kitchen carries a piece of them.
