Italian · Nottingham
A special-occasion Italian in Nottingham that still makes room for children — high chairs, a kids' menu, free parking and buggy access, plus a few outdoor tables when the weather plays along. Families report a warm welcome and staff who are unhurried and genuinely kind; birthdays sometimes get sung for. The cooking is the real draw: fresh pasta, monkfish in lobster sauce, garlic bread that arrives hot, and desserts — the tiramisu and profiteroles — that people come back for. It's calm rather than boisterous, which suits an early dinner with children better than a raucous night out. Two honest notes: it's dear for what one parent calls "a special occasion" rather than a casual Tuesday, and set-menu nights like Valentine's have run slow, so book and go on a normal service.
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.
