Restaurants · Dursley
Dursley punches above its weight with this one — a proper homestyle Italian where tables aren't jammed together, so a pram can get through and you're not eating in someone's lap. Portions are generous (a few people mention smaller plates, but most leave full), and the seafood risotto and the pizza both get singled out, with tiramisu worth staying for. Staff are young, polite and genuinely unflustered when a booking changes shape at the last minute; there's a roomier upstairs space that suits a bigger family gathering. High chairs, a kids' menu, vegan and gluten-free options and free parking all help. Two honest snags: it gets echoey when full, so Friday and Saturday evenings mean raised voices, and it's popular enough that booking is wise. One parent calls it "a complete gem".
