Zizzi Tower Hill sits at Plaza level within Tower Place, offering the brand's familiar Italian comfort food — pasta, pizza and more — in a setting that reviewers consistently describe as warm and welcoming, with stand-out friendly service making families feel genuinely at home. Little ones are well catered for with a kids' menu, highchairs and buggy-friendly access throughout, plus baby changing on site and an outdoor space to let everyone breathe after the meal. Vegan options are available, and gluten-free choices are likely on the menu too, so it's worth asking your server when you arrive.

The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
