Italian · Yarm
Proper Italian cooking at a mid-range price, so there's usually something on the table a child will actually eat — pasta and pizza are the safe bets, and there's a separate kids' menu if they'd rather order their own. High chairs mean you can bring a baby along without hunting for a solution, and step-free access saves the buggy-folding routine at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the trickier eaters in the group. It gets lively, which is good news if your two aren't the quiet type — worth booking ahead.
