Italian · Cambridge
Tucked away just after the bridge on Cherry Hinton Road, this is easy to walk straight past — which is part of why it feels like a neighbourhood secret rather than a night out. It's family-run and it shows: the staff are warm, happy to steer you around dietary restrictions, and the sort of welcome that means you'll be remembered next time. The pizza is what people come back for — a thin, crunchy base with a light, salty, crisp rim — alongside Sicilian pastas and a well-liked risotto. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, vegan options and outdoor seating. Two ate lunch for £24, though prices have crept up. Worth knowing: Saturdays get busy and drinks can take a while, and staff sometimes nudge you towards appetisers while you wait.
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.
