For the weekend, below are more reviews of area restaurants. Find out which have kids’ menus and which are paying the most attention to food allergies.
Pizzi’s Pizza; 1025 West Lancaster Ava., Bryn Mawr
Stop in for a slice, some Greek specialties or loveable standards like spaghetti and chicken fingers. The menu is extensive and the doors are open late. Pizzi's is more family friendly in the earlier hours. Click here for the review.
Cafette; 8136 Ardleigh Ave., Philadelphia
Breakfast, lunch or dinner for the whole family. Keep an eye out for the kids' country breakfast, grilled cheese and tomato soup. The eggs are local and the sausage is nitrate-free, so eat up, guilt-free. Click here for the review.
Du Jour; 379 Lancaster Ave., Haverford
There is a pretty standard kids menu here with the usual suspects—pizza, grilled cheese, chicken fingers, burgers, pastas. However, there are numerous healthy items on the regular menu, including salads and wraps. Check this place out any time of day. Click here for the review.
Casey’s Seafood Grille and Pub; 3531 West Chester Pike, Newtown Square
Professional yet friendly service and a beefed up kids’ menu are part of the draw of this local hangout. The turkey platter and linguini with meatballs are a change of pace from the typical kids menu items. Click here for the review.
Upper Providence Grille; 100 State Road, Media
No official kids’ menu, but plenty of kid-friendly fare. Try the lasagne or chicken fingers. Or split a salad or one of their sandwiches for your little ones. Click here for the review.
