Italian · Brighton
Big Italian rooms like this one are a relief with small children — there's space to get a pram past tables, high chairs are on hand, and a few outdoor seats for when the noise inside builds. What stands out most is how the team handles fuss: they'll amend a pizza to take the tomato sauce off, hand over the allergen booklet and sticker your nut-free plate, and swap a plate of lukewarm potatoes before you've had to mention it. Families rate the burrata carbonara, the risotto, the garlic bread and a tiramisu worth staying for; the pizzas are decent rather than dazzling, and slightly small for the price. Vegan choices are limited but enough for a pasta or pizza. Set menus keep the bill sensible, and the loos are reliably clean.
