Italian · Gillingham, Kent
Proper Italian diner food is an easy sell with children — pizza, pasta, something plain with tomato sauce that most kids will actually finish — and there's a kids' menu here so you're not negotiating over portion sizes. High chairs and step-free access mean a toddler and a buggy aren't a problem, and free parking takes one more decision off your plate. Gluten-free options are available if someone in the family needs them, and there's outdoor seating for when a small person needs to be somewhere less enclosed. It's a moderate-noise sort of place, so a bit of chatter won't stand out — worth booking ahead.
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.
