Italian · Braintree
Getting through the door is straightforward here, with step-free access so you're not folding a buggy on the doorstep or asking someone to help lift it. High chairs and a kids' menu mean a toddler is catered for without you having to ring ahead or improvise from the main list, and there are gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. The noise level sits at moderate, so a bit of chatter or a wobble from a little one won't feel out of place. Prices are mid-range for an Italian meal out.
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.
