Sicilian wine tastings might sound like adults-only territory, but this Bristol spot works harder for families than it lets on. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and outdoor seating, plus proper vegan options — and the pizzas travel well across ages, including gluten-free bases that come out light and crisp on the bottom (they'll talk you through cross-contamination if you email ahead, which is a rare kindness). Sunday evenings are the sweet spot: quiet enough to chat at a normal volume, with music you can actually hear. Saturday nights are a different animal — busy and lively, so book. The tiramisu and the warm chocolate fondant get the loudest praise, the bread is quietly excellent, and the Italian afternoon tea tower is genuinely good value. Staff stay attentive and warm even when the room is full.
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.
