Italian · Rochdale
A mixed-age table works well here, with high chairs for the littlest and a kids' menu that means older ones can order without negotiation. Gluten-free options are on hand too, so a child with a coeliac diagnosis or an intolerance isn't stuck with plain pasta and an apology. It runs lively rather than hushed, which is a relief when someone's talking loudly about dinosaurs — though it does mean booking ahead is wise rather than chancing a walk-in.
