Italian · Southport
Getting through the door is straightforward here, with step-free access so you won't be reversing a buggy down a step or leaving it outside. High chairs and a kids' menu mean you can walk in with a toddler and not have to think it through first, and the ££ price point keeps a family meal reasonable. There are vegan and gluten-free choices too, which helps if someone in your group eats differently. It tends to be lively rather than hushed, so a noisy two-year-old won't stand out — worth booking ahead to be safe.
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.
