Bristol families come back to this Italian spot for the way it handles a whole table of people, birthdays and children included — parties of thirty have taken the whole room. Buggy access and free parking take the stress out of arriving, and there are high chairs, a children's menu and outdoor seating once you're in. The staff go out of their way; nothing seems too much trouble, and the kitchen has been known to make a dish that isn't on the menu. Portions are generous and arrive hot — pizzas, carbonara, big tasty omelettes, chilli and garlic prawns — so sharing with a small appetite works well. Three courses with drinks and children's dishes has come in under £100 for a family. It's a proper sit-down evening rather than a quick stop, and one parent says it's "like coming home".
