Italian · Brentwood
You can get in the door here without lifting a buggy over a step, which takes one worry off the list before you've even sat down. High chairs and a kids' menu mean a toddler is properly catered for rather than sharing off your plate, and there are vegan and gluten-free options if anyone in the family eats differently. It's a lively room, so a bit of toddler noise won't stand out — though that also means it's not the quiet corner for a baby who needs to nap. Worth booking ahead, and expect mid-range Italian prices.
