Cafés · Sheffield
A friendly little Italian spot on Abbeydale Road that manages the rare trick of being genuinely relaxed with children in tow. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and easy buggy access, plus toys and books in the corner to buy you ten minutes of peace. The covered outdoor seating is the winner on a decent day — you can pick shade or a sun spot, and there's loads of room outside for prams and bikes. Food comes quickly, portions are generous and prices are fair; the coffee gets rhapsodised over, and the lemon tart has a following. Vegan and small tweaks to dishes are handled without fuss. Staff are warm without hovering, and free wifi and free parking help. It's the sort of place, as one parent puts it, "you could sit in all day."
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.
