Restaurant · Bristol
Fresh pasta made each morning is the draw here, and the £10 lunch deal — a house sauce with a soft drink — makes it an easy weekday stop with children in tow. Portions are generous, the carbonara comes out rich and creamy, and the burrata bruschetta is big enough for two to share, which helps when someone only wants a picked-at starter. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the outdoor tables are the ones to aim for with a pram: indoor seating is genuinely limited and cosy, so book ahead or you may not get in. Staff are friendly and attentive without hovering. Two for under £50 with drinks is fair for the quality, though the pasta can run a touch salty. Save room for the tiramisu — one parent found it "absolutely delicious".
