Italian · Finsbury Park
Presto Cafe & Pizzeria serves up proper Italian-style pizzas and garlic bread that regulars rave about, with a genuine taste of Italy that tends to go down well with the whole family. It's buggy-friendly and has highchairs and a kids' menu, so little ones are well catered for — just bear in mind there's no outdoor seating or baby-changing facilities on site. One thing worth knowing: a few diners have flagged that menu prices in the restaurant don't always match what's listed, so it's worth double-checking the bill.
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.
