Italian · Islington
Lina Stores at King's Cross is a proper Italian spot in the atmospheric Granary Square area, turning out genuinely excellent pasta, burrata and seafood in relaxed, deli-influenced surroundings — the kind of place where the food does the talking. It's reasonably family-friendly for a grown-up Italian: highchairs are available, the cobbled outdoor space is a lovely spot in good weather, and pushchairs can get in without a struggle. There's no dedicated children's menu, so it suits families with little ones who are happy to share from the main menu; do bear in mind that some diners have found the pacing of meals quite leisurely, which is worth keeping in mind with restless young children.

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.
