Italian · Glasgow
Twenty years of Glasgow families have been squeezing round these tables, and the pull is obvious the moment plates start landing — pasta and pizza cooked to order in front of you, seafood and risotto that people still talk about weeks later, tiramisu worth ordering even when everyone's full. Portions are large, prices fair for what arrives, and food comes out fast, which matters when a toddler has hit the wall. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and free parking, plus a few outdoor tables. The team are properly good with allergens — half-and-half gluten-free pizza is a regular request — and they'll look after you even when rushed off their feet. It's small and nearly always busy, so book: one visitor found it lively and homely rather than overwhelming, but weekends fill fast.
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.
