Italian · South Shields
It's a lively sort of place, so a bit of toddler noise won't turn heads — a relief if your two aren't the sit-still type. There's indoor soft play, which means the wait between ordering and eating stops being the hard part, plus high chairs and a kids' menu so you don't need to bring your own back-up food. Step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward, and gluten-free options are available if someone in the family needs them. Prices sit at the budget end, and it's worth booking a table 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.
