Restaurants · Leeds
Tucked behind the Springs shopping centre, this is an Italian kitchen that families come back to for years rather than once. Portions are generous for adults and children alike, the kids' menu is genuinely good value, and the staff are the sort who'll make a fuss of a birthday without being asked — two small boys were sung to on one visit. The garlic chicken calzone and the bolognese are the regular orders; the fish specials, halibut and monkfish, arrive as proper big pieces. A complimentary bread basket with olives and tapenade lands early, which buys you time with a hungry toddler. High chairs, buggy access, free parking and outdoor seating are all sorted. It gets genuinely busy, so book — and check what's in a dish before sharing with a three-year-old.
