There's a real fine-dining polish here, but families are genuinely welcomed into it — the kids' menu comes out good enough that parents admit to sneaking bites, and the service is the patient, attentive, smiling kind that doesn't make you feel like a nuisance for arriving with children. Modern Italian cooking is the draw: the prawn bucatini gets rhapsodies, the beetroot risotto and duck ragu are favourites, and you can order pasta in starter or main sizes, which solves a lot of small appetites. Focaccia to share, tiramisu, pannacotta with warm little doughnuts. High chairs, buggy access, outdoor seating and vegan options are all in place. Worth knowing: lighting is low and evenings lean grown-up, a 10% service charge is added, and the website won't book groups over six — ring instead.

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.
