Italian · Brighton
Tucked in next to the Pavilion, this is a smart little Italian that manages to feel warm rather than fussy — the sort of place where you're greeted at the door quickly and, if you ask when booking, seated somewhere quieter. Pizzas come out huge with generous toppings, the pasta is made with real care, and the gelato is some of the most authentic in Brighton. Food arrives fast, which matters when someone small is unravelling. The express lunch deal around £14 keeps a family meal reasonable, and there are vegan choices plus a few unusual twists on the classics. High chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and outdoor tables are all sorted. One snag: tables sit close together, so a big noisy party nearby can swallow your evening — worth mentioning your table preference when you book.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
