Italian · Cambridge
Tucked into central Cambridge, this is a small pasta counter rather than a sit-down restaurant, and that's worth knowing before you arrive with a pushchair — there are only about five tables, seating is tight, and at busy times you may not get one at all. Buggy access is possible but a squeeze. There are high chairs and a kids' menu, and food comes out in roughly ten to fifteen minutes, which helps when someone's losing patience. The pasta is properly al dente and the ragù gets particular praise, as do the cannoli and the Sicilian gelato. Staff have been happy to adapt dishes for dietary needs. Prices feel steep for counter service, though takeaway is about £1 cheaper per dish — and honestly, takeaway to Christ's Pieces may be the easier option with children.
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.
