Italian · Hamilton
A big table of 17 here left with nothing to complain about, which tells you plenty about how a family group will fare — the staff are attentive without hovering, they'll squeeze you in on a Saturday night if you ring ahead, and there's free parking so you're not circling Hamilton with tired children in the back. High chairs and a kids' menu are in place. The fillet steak risotto gets genuine rapture, the pizzas and mussels are strong, and the Sunday and lunch set menus are where the value sits. Worth knowing: it's pricier than some nearby spots, the music can creep up in volume, and service can slow when they're busy. One family found the kids' menu charged at full price even for a plain pasta, so ask when you book.
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.
