Restaurants · Rye
Rye's cobbled streets and awkward parking aside, this Italian is an easy stop with children — free parking helps, buggies get in without a fight, and there are high chairs and a kids' menu waiting. The terrace is the pick in good weather, though it can get breezy, so ask for an inside table early if you've got a cold toddler. Food is the draw: lightly battered calamari, thin crisp bases on the pizzas, lobster ravioli, and a tiramisu that has brought families back the very next day. Portions and prices land kindly for what arrives. Service is usually quick and warm, but it can slow at busy times — worth ordering little ones' food up front. It's relaxed enough that a noisy family table won't turn heads.
