Mangia Mi

A coffee shop with a toy box for the kids.

Calistoga's old-fashioned diner since forever: pancakes and waffles for kids, huevos rancheros for the grown-ups, and a side of town lore.

A long, narrow trattoria with the open kitchen right up front, so kids can watch the cooks while the homemade pasta is on its way.

Curries, noodles and fried rice, with vegan and vegetarian options. Pad thai or plain fried rice is the safe order for a kid who doesn't do spice.

Every room has a kitchenette with a fridge, and there is a shallow wading pool with a waterfall (the covered jet pool is adults only).

A tasting room with a kids' corner in the same space, where children paint, play and build within sight of the bar.
