Restaurants · Reading
A Tilehurst spot that punches well above its weight, with generous pizzas that regularly go home in a box — the Capricciosa and Quattro Gusti come up again and again, and there's lasagna, carbonara and a pesto chicken linguine if someone at the table has gone off tomato this week. Food arrives quickly, which matters when a toddler has hit the wall, and the staff are attentive without hovering; dietary requirements are handled without fuss. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking, and buggies get in fine. The refurbished covered patio is the pick with children — more room, less echo. Prices are reasonable for what lands on the plate, and the puddings are worth staying for, especially the volcano-shaped Vesuvio cake with its coffee centre. One family now comes weekly.

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.
