Italian · Reading
Woodley's Italian regular gets busy on a Saturday night for good reason — the food arrives fast, which matters enormously when someone small has hit the wall. Portions are famously generous and prices stay reasonable, with midweek discounts often running on mains and starters. The pecorino risotto and the profiteroles come up again and again, and the pizza has a properly crisp base. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking, plus buggy access and outdoor seating for warmer days, and vegan choices on the main menu. The staff are genuinely patient with children — one parent noticed them waiting kindly while a nearly-five-year-old ordered for herself. It does get a bit loud when full, so if you want a calm meal, go early or at lunchtime.
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.
