Italian · Leytonstone
Piccolo Ristorante is a warm, authentic Italian on Leytonstone's High Street where the food is the real deal — think proper calves liver and classic Italian dishes that keep grown-ups very happy, with a menu and highchairs on hand for the little ones too. The staff have a genuine reputation for being welcoming and helpful, and the place is easy to navigate with a buggy or wheelchair. There's a small outdoor space if you fancy a bit of fresh air, and vegetarians in the family should find something to enjoy, though it's worth checking ahead for any specific dietary needs.
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.
