Italian · Middlesbrough
Italian cooking at a mid-range price, with a kids' menu so there's something familiar — pasta, pizza, the kind of plate most children will actually finish — rather than trying to make a main work for a five-year-old. High chairs are there for the smallest ones, and step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in without lifting it over a step. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the trickier eaters in the family. It gets lively, which is good news if your toddler is having a loud day, and booking ahead is worth doing.
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.
