Italian · Ryton
A village Italian in Ryton that families keep coming back to, and the low prices are a big part of why. The menu is long enough that fussy eaters and grown-ups both find something, with a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access for a pram, plus free parking so you're not circling with everyone in the back. Portions are generous — the happy hour menu in particular draws praise for size and value. Herb-crusted salmon, freshly made soup with homemade focaccia and Sunday lunch all come up again and again, and the staff are warm with big, noisy tables rather than just tolerant of them. It's a proper sit-down restaurant, not a quick pit stop, so it suits a long lunch more than a rushed one, and it's worth booking at weekends.
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.
