Moms Eat Local: Fellini Cafe Trattoria

Moms know how tough it can be to eat out with little ones. Patch wants to help you know before you walk in the door if Fellini Cafe Trattoria is a good place to eat with your children.

Restaurant:

Is there a kids’ menu? Not officially, but entrees and menu options can be made into lunch-size, smaller portions. Regardless, the fare here is quite kid-friendly. The pizzas, paninis and pasta should all make them pretty happy.

Are there healthy options on the kids’ meal? The spaghetti al pomodoro is healthy, as are the numerous salads. The vegeteriano (eggplant, zucchini, provolone, sliced tomato and sauce) and fellini (mixed salad, tomato and parma ham) panini are also relatively healthy. 

How does the restaurant deal with food allergies? Alert your server and they will try to be as accommodating as possible.

Is the restaurant so quiet that any childish outburst will draw attention, or is there enough noise that a small cry is likely to go unnoticed? Depends on how filled the dining room is. Another alternative is to dine alfresco, where noise won't really matter at all.
