Budget-friendly Rochester spot with a kids' menu, high chairs, gluten-free choices, step-free buggy access and free parking.
Italian · Rochester
A branch of the Italian chain in Rochester, this one comes set up for families rather than tolerating them — kids' menu, high chairs, and step-free access from the door, so a buggy and a hungry toddler are both accounted for. There's outdoor seating if you'd rather be somewhere the noise matters less, and vegan and gluten-free options mean nobody's stuck eating chips. It's a lively room, which cuts both ways: a grizzly two-year-old won't be the loudest thing in it. Worth booking ahead, and mid-range prices for a family of four.

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.
