Italian · St Pauls
Tucked into Bloomberg Arcade just a short stroll from the bustle of the City, Lina Stores serves the kind of pasta that makes you want to order several dishes at once — think crab and lemon, short rib, and whatever the kitchen is feeling proud of that day. The room is bright and genuinely welcoming, and the team has a reputation for going out of their way to accommodate you, which counts for a lot when you're wrangling little ones. Highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy; there's no dedicated kids' menu, but the pasta-focused Italian cooking tends to appeal across the ages, and vegan options are on offer too.
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.
