Italian · Cambridge
Cambridge parents rate this one for the way the staff handle a table with children — friendly and attentive without hovering, and happy to split a main into separate bowls so everyone gets a taste of both the pasta and the pizza. Food arrives at a sensible pace, and the complimentary tomato bread that lands before your starter is generous enough to keep small people going while you wait. The carbonara and the Ndjua and burrata pizza both get raves, and the calzone has brought walking groups back a week later. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and free parking, plus a garden that opens up in summer. It's an evening-out sort of room rather than a soft-play sort — but the prices are fair and it genuinely feels like Italy.
