Italian · Londonderry
Twelve of you round a pushed-together table is not a problem here, which tells you something about how the place runs — the team will make it work rather than sigh at you. Pizza and pasta get the loudest praise (the carbonara, the meatballs), and portions are big enough that half a main often goes home in a box. Free parking, high chairs, a kids' menu and a proper changing table in the ladies' all help, and the vegan choices are unusually good for Derry, though there's no vegan pudding yet. Food comes out quickly, which matters with a tired toddler. Worth knowing: it's small, so book — walk-ins get turned away on busy nights — and evenings can turn into live music, singing, even a conga line. Wonderful with older children, a lot for a baby who needs quiet.
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.
