Italian · West Ealing
Pasta Di Piazza is a cosy neighbourhood Italian on Northfield Avenue, the kind of place that feels genuinely welcoming rather than trying too hard — think relaxed midweek dinners with a set menu that keeps things simple and affordable. It's a solid choice for families with younger children, as highchairs are on hand and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy; there's no outdoor seating or baby changing, but the warm atmosphere more than makes up for it. A kids' menu means little ones are properly catered for, and the friendly service helps take the edge off dining out with children in tow.

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.
