Kianti's Pizza & Pasta Bar Description
The owners of Kianti's love kids and fun, and it shows. Not only does this charmingly offbeat Italian restaurant offer a kid's menu and the requisite crayons and coloring kit, they also bring out fresh squishy pizza dough for the kids to play with, and serve drinks in colorful, kid-friendly cups so parents can spend a relaxed mealtime not worrying about spills. On weekend nights there are dough-rolling competitions and dance performances that will have the kids clamoring to come back. Be sure to check out our other Santa Cruz vacation ideas.

Planning Notes
- Fast and well priced. The menu features a number of remarkably well-priced appetizers that can double as kid-sized entrees. Try the homemade meatballs, the chicken wings, or the pizza rolls -- all are in the $7-9 price range and will happily fill up hungry kids. And they arrive fast so there's no grumpy waiting.
