Italian · Sheffield
Small, bustling and genuinely welcoming, this Italian spot near the city centre has high chairs, buggy access and a kids' menu, and the staff are the sort who go out of their way — birthday parties get properly looked after, and severe nut and sesame allergies are handled carefully rather than nervously. Portions are fresh and prices reasonable for what arrives. The lasagna and toasted sandwiches get warm praise, the sea bass with spinach sauce is a step up from usual café fare, and the tiramisu, made to order, is what people come back for. There's a good cake and cheesecake counter too. Two honest notes: book ahead, because it fills fast even when it looks quiet, and fish dishes can be hit-and-miss. One parent left calling the whole thing "10 out of 10".
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.
