As
Thomson Al Fresco Altomincio Family Parc is designed for families with
young children, it's no surprise that the
places to eat were equally
child-friendly!
Judging by the
pizza packaging we saw in bins the
Take-Away (open from about 5.30pm) was very
popular! It served a
variety of food including salads and
roast vegetables as well as pizza.
During the daytime,
Froggy's Bar, conveniently
near the pools, was open for burgers, sausages etc and chips plus some veggie dishes and pasta. We had some
pasta on the day we arrived and it
wasn't great. Plus beware asking for a
glass of wine and it comes in a tumbler – we
shared one!
PWT rating: ♥♥♥♥♥Nearby is the
Gelatario selling a wide variety of
ice creams plus soft and alcoholic drinks. The
staff were absolutely
lovely and
Harriet had to go back
each day to say hello (she hasn't graduated to
ice cream yet but her mother
loved them!). For a
captive audience the fare was
reasonably priced and you could have
teas and coffee there too and there was a limited range of
sweets to choose from including my favourites
Liquorice Allsorts!
PWT rating: ♥♥♥♥♥We went to the
Altomincio Grill three times. High chairs are readily available together with a
children's menu that you can
colour in, join the dots and enter the maze – although we were hard put to find pens that worked! The
children's menu listed five main dishes and included and ice cream for
5.90€. There were three
pasta dishes (one veggie) plus
sausages or chicken nuggets with French fries.
Harriet's
appetite didn't justify a dish of her own and anyway we prefered her to
eat the same as us. My favourite was
Tagliata di Pollo which was sliced chicken with radicchio and balsamic vinegar sauce (8€) and Olivia's was
Tortellini (6.5€). We loved the
bruschetta was was so huge we shared! A half carafe of
house wine went down very nicely with these!
The
Altomincio Grill is open evenings only from 18.30 to 22.30.
