Italian · Bexhill-on-Sea
A small family-run place where the welcome does a lot of the work — families report feeling immediately at home, with staff who are friendly and quick to fuss over a birthday cake or candle. The pizza gets the loudest praise (one visitor reckoned they'd been transported to Italy), and everything arrives fresh and piping hot; desserts are homemade, and the bread and butter basket comes with generous butter, useful when small children need something in front of them fast. Gluten-free eating is handled well. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating, plus vegan options. Worth knowing: it's genuinely busy, so book ahead — and on nights when a big indoor party lands, service can slow considerably, which is worth factoring in if you're on a tight bedtime.
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.
