Italian · Bedford
A mixed-age table works well here, since there's a proper kids' menu alongside the usual Italian mains, plus vegan and gluten-free dishes if anyone at the table eats differently. High chairs mean a baby or toddler is genuinely catered for, and step-free access into the building takes the stress out of arriving with a buggy. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, so a bit of toddler noise won't stand out. Worth booking ahead — this Bedford spot recommends it.
