"Perfect For: The Friend Who Always Brings Their Kids Children are a treasure, each one is a precious gift, and they’re usually nightmares to eat with. If your friend shuns iPads and insists on distracting Topher with wooden toys that all children hate, go to Coda Di Volpe, an Italian restaurant in Lakeview. It’s a child-friendly spot where Jesse can start screaming and no one (except you) will mind. The best things here are the Neapolitan pies that you cut at the table yourself, so just keep the scissors away from Abigail." - adrian kane
