Italian · Maida Vale
Casa 65 brings a genuinely homemade feel to Mediterranean and Italian cooking in a cosy Maida Hill spot — think proper lasagne, fresh ingredients, and pizzas with mozzarella that stretches just right. The intimate atmosphere and attentive (but not hovering) staff make it a relaxed place to settle in with the family, and the kitchen is open and spotless if little ones are curious about where their food comes from. Highchairs and a children's menu are likely available, buggies can be accommodated, and there are vegan options on the menu too — though there's no outdoor seating if that's on your wishlist.
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.
