Italian · Plymouth
A small Plymouth Italian that people come back to for years, and you feel it the moment you're through the door — families describe the place as "homely", and the welcome is the same whether you're two or six. Food comes out fast, which matters when someone's hit the wall: orders are taken quickly and plates land soon after, starting with the complimentary garlic and tomato bruschetta that tends to vanish before the mains. Portions are enormous — the seafood risotto and the chef's special ravioli get the most love, and the duck in wine and honey is worth a look. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, and the tables aren't crammed together, so there's breathing room. Prices are fair for what arrives. The snag: it's full most evenings, so book well 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.
