A little Italian tucked away in a part of Bristol you might not otherwise wander into, this is the sort of place that handles a family of four without fuss — high chairs, room to get a pram in, a few tables outside, and a kids' menu, plus vegan choices if you need them. The cooking is the draw: bruschetta, calamari fritti with aioli, squid ink spaghetti with mussels and prawn, and pasta that regulars come back for fortnightly. The midweek set menu, three courses around £23, keeps a family lunch sensible; add wine and it climbs quickly. Service is warm and attentive even when the room is full. Two snags worth knowing — it gets busy, so book, and street parking is capped at an hour, so you may end up walking a bit.
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.
