Italian · Bristol
A cosy, properly Italian little room in Bristol — decorated like someone's family home, and popular enough that it's usually full. That's the trade-off worth knowing: tables sit close together, so a pram is a squeeze and it gets noisy when every seat is taken. Book, and go early if your children fade fast. Service is warm but stretched at busy times, and ordering can take a while, so bring something to occupy small hands. There are high chairs, a kids' menu and a large vegan menu, though double-check vegan orders on arrival. The food is what people come back for: pizza, meatball pasta, seafood and the seabass with pesto all draw praise. It's pricier than a standard Italian, but the house wine is good value and the owner's chatter makes families feel genuinely welcome.
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.
