Happy Italy Arnhem: Family friendly restaurant
Happy Italy Arnhem is one of our favourite hang-out fast-food restaurants. My first time to visit Happy Italy Arnhem was in 2016, when I was invited by a colleague to have a lunch there before going to our boat tour event in Arnhem. Since then, I used to go to Happy Italy together with my husband, and now with our three children. We celebrate many occasions in Happy Italy, including whenever a new child in our family is born, the Mother’s and Father’s Day, Sunday Day-out, or simply when we are craving for Italian food. Happy Italy is located in various places in The Netherlands such as Alkmaar, Amsterdam, Breda, Den Bosch and Arnhem. They are known for offering big meals for affordable price, as well as some nice discounts. Happy Italy is also a good place for family with children. For those who are interested to try Happy Italy Arnhem, here is what you need to know why you can bring your family in this restaurant.

Happy Italy Arnhem has a free indoor playground. Having this place makes it convenient for family to eat in a restaurant without worrying on how to make kids entertained. The indoor playground consists of slide, climbing place, building blocks, and balls. Most of the time, my children go here to play while waiting for our orders especially when there are many visitors in the restaurant. While children are playing, parents can enjoy drinking coffee or cocktails while chatting.
2. Happy Italy Arnhem has Happy kids menu.
This restaurant focuses on children that’s why they have menu specifically targeted to children. They have Kid’s Menu, which consists of pizza (with a choice of Margherita or Salami), ice cream, colouring sheets with crayons, and access to playground. Overall it costs 9,95 euros only. If you want to further upgrade the Kid’s menu by adding lemonade and gift, you need to pay only 12,50 euros. My kids are always entertained whenever they get Kid’s menu.
