A must stop shop for sweet treats every time we’re in Sanibel. Lots of different ice cream flavors, toppings, and a variety of desserts (gelato, sorbet, sherbet, sundaes, shakes, malts, and more!). Extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. Adore the fun new holiday decor.

Easily accessible from the Main Road, plenty of Free Parking including for Handicap accessible Vehicles. The Shop was clean and well staffed by friendly employees. Great Little Ice Cream shop, plenty of Flavors to choose from and they are Delicious 😋. The portions were more than ample and in our opinion the prices were fair. In the area, looking for a Great Ice Cream shop, this is your place. Give them a try!

We visited Pinocchio's today and the ice cream itself was good, but unfortunately the service completely ruined the experience. Two staff members laughed when they didn’t understand some of our words because of our accent. That felt disrespectful and unprofessional.

We then asked to see the prices on the menu, and there was an awkward moment because none of the listed prices matched what we were charged. They laughed between themselves again. Only after that did they agree to refund us. It honestly felt like we were being taken advantage of because we are foreigners. Mistakes can happen, but

Pinocchio’s Original Italian Ice Cream on Sanibel Island is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. The moment you step in, you’re greeted by the bright, cheerful display of colorful Italian ices and creamy gelatos—each flavor more tempting than the last. The texture is perfect: velvety smooth and full of pure, refreshing flavor. Whether you’re savoring a classic lemon, indulging in a rich chocolate, or trying one of their unique seasonal creations, every bite feels like a little island treat. The staff is friendly and welcoming, always ready to guide you through the flavors with a smile. They genuinely care that each selection leaves you happy and satisfied. Perfect for a hot Florida day or a fun post-beach snack, Pinocchio’s is an absolute delight. We loved every lick and can’t wa

Wonderful ice cream shop with a great selection, delicious ice cream and friendly staff. Lots of great flavors to choose from. We liked the added touch of an animal cracker on each cone.
