If you've never been to a tapas restaurant, do not go on an empty stomach unkess you're ready to soend money on more than one plate. Tapas are not large platters of food. That being said, i had parpadelle carbonara. It was good. Not the best, but good. Needed more sauce or something, i felt like I was eating only noodles. My husband and I weren't impressed by the food, but I guess we're neither tapas kinda people not pretentious enough for the area. Who knows. However, we did have family in town with a toddler and the staff, although somewhat ignoring us the first 30 minutes, did bring her crayons and stuff. So they are somewhat kid friendly.
