Italian · Bournemouth
Turn up with a pram and you'll get in without a fuss, and there are high chairs plus a kids' meal deal that parents reckon is genuinely good value. What really wins families over is how fast the team spots a restless toddler — crayons and a little snack tend to appear before anyone starts wobbling, and food arrives quickly. Pizza is the main event (one family had theirs shaped like a heart), alongside carbonara with properly done pancetta, a seafood risotto loaded with mussels and prawns, and side salads big enough to share. Portions are hearty, gluten-free choices are wide, and there are vegan options. Small lamps on the tables keep evenings warm rather than frantic, and there's outdoor seating when the weather plays along. Eat in rather than order delivery — takeaway orders are the weak spot.
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.
