Moms Eat Local: Bertucci's

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 Bertucci's is a good place to eat with your children.

Restaurant: 

Is there a kids’ menu? Yes--it includes pizza, pepperoni pizza, grilled foccacia with mozzarella (similar to grilled cheese), pasta, chicken and rigatoni, and crispy chicken with broccoli and ravioli.

Are there healthy options on the kids’ meal? Pasta dishes can be made with multi-grain penne, and the pizza can be made with whole wheat dough.

How does the restaurant deal with food allergies? Alert your server, and they are quite accommodating. What's particularly noteworthy, though, is an entire gluten-free menu.

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? Families with kids and babies are more than welcome here. The noise level is pretty high when the dining room is filled.
