Italian · Maidstone
Getting through the door is straightforward here, with step-free access so you're not lifting a buggy over a threshold before you've even sat down. High chairs and a children's menu mean a toddler is catered for without any negotiating, and there are vegan and gluten-free dishes if anyone in the family eats around something. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is usually good news when a baby grizzles mid-meal. Worth booking ahead, and at ££ it's an ordinary-evening sort of Italian rather than a treat-only one.
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.
