Italian · Covent Garden
Franco Manca in Aldwych serves up their trademark sourdough pizzas in a buzzy, reliably good setting just a short walk from several West End theatres — handy if you're making a day of it in the city. The restaurant handles busy spells well and welcomes families with highchairs, a kids' menu, and step-free buggy access, plus a downstairs area that can work nicely for larger family groups. There's a small outdoor space too, and vegan toppings are available, though there's no baby changing on site.
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.
