Italian · Stanley
A family-run Italian on the edge of Stanley that regulars return to again and again, and the room itself is a relief with children in tow — tables set far enough apart that you're not wedged in beside strangers, so a pram parks without a fuss. There's a free car park across the road, high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating in warmer weather. Food comes out quickly and portions are generous; the pizzas, garlic bread and the meatball calzone get named over and over, and the Sunday roast has a following of its own. Staff are warm and quick to seat you, even without a booking. Sundays and weekend evenings get busy and buzzing, so book if you want a calm table — one parent calls it simply "our goto".
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.
