Italian · Nottingham
A reliable stop for a family meal, especially handy if you've been round the shops or IKEA nearby — the open kitchen gives fidgety children something to watch while they wait, and food tends to arrive fast even when it's busy, which matters when someone's patience is running out. Staff get repeated praise for being cheerful and attentive, and there are high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and free parking. The pizzas are the safe bet (good base, generous portions), and the garlic bread and the calizza — half calzone, half pizza — get particular love. Vegan options too. Worth knowing: the music can be a bit loud, and one parent found it "a bit pricey without a discount", so check for Blue Light or voucher deals before you go.
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.
