La Fontaine
For Italian food that goes a little beyond the ordinary, La Fontaine is the perfect eatery to try tonight. They have a fabulous menu that locals love, and offer several kid friendly options to keep everyone happy. Their Pollo d’Angelo is a particular dish your family will adore. Tube pasta and sliced chicken are paired with mushrooms, green peas, and sun-dried tomatoes. It offers some of that classic Italian flavor you crave, with a generous portion of protein and vitamin-packed veggies to keep everyone energized for your evening activities. To complete your meal, order the divine Insalata di Barbabietole. With a base of roasted beets and arugula, you’ll feel full of energy after dinner. This dish is topped with goat cheese, heart healthy almonds, and a light citrus-truffle vinaigrette. Who knew that a family-oriented food delivery option in Cupertino could also offer something so fancy?
Doppio Zero
Pretty much every kid loves a big plate of pizza, and that’s exactly why Doppio Zero made our list. Their delicious Margherita pizza is something your kids will devour, and you’ll love that all of the ingredients are fresh and homemade — even the mozzarella! For the grown ups, order their delicious Ischia. It’s a grilled chicken dish that’s topped with sun-dried tomatoes, bell peppers, and caramelized onions. With this level of indulgent flavor, you’ll fall in love. Plus, it’s a tasty, low-carb way to get your fill of protein at the end of your day! To complete your order, tack on their Asparagi Salad. Asparagus is known to protect against many types of cancer, and is packed with antioxidants that neutralize free radicals in your body. Plus, it’s a delightful and simple vegetable that will compliment any other dish you order!
Cucina Venti
When you want to sneak some extra veggies into your child’s meal tonight, give Cucina Venti a try. Their Fettuccine Alfredo is a dish your kids will beg for — and you’ll love that it’s loaded up with sliced zucchini and mushrooms! When you’re looking for a light entree for yourself, their Blackened Ahi Tuna Salad is an ideal option. Tuna is an excellent source of omega-3 fats, which are essential for brain health. When eaten in moderation, it can lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and even eye problems. The tuna in this salad is seared rare and paired with pickled ginger, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a lovely sesame dressing. It may be just a salad, but it’s one that’s extremely filling. Eat this dish on its own or as a compliment to a small serving of your favorite pasta dish, and you have the perfect menu for dinner success tonight!

Liked this article a lot because it gave many different options for Italian in the area, but each restaurant featured had unique reasons to visit. Made me hungry!
Me too, Nicole! I was definitely craving a big Italian meal after writing this article!
This definitely has my pasta crave on. I can see a big order of fettuccini alfredo and garlic bread in my future.
We did the same thing last night, Kirk!
This really helped me find decent delivery options that are suitable for my whole family. We love Italian and it’s a pleasure knowing we can find something for our tastes and our little one’s tastes and needs!
I agree! It is super nice to find options that work for the entire family.
I love Italian food but I always go for the unhealthy version. When I feel I should eat healthier, all I get is lean cuisine. I’m a bit of a lazy cook. I really want to try this food since it’s homemade and balanced. Seems like it would taste great without all the guilt!
I know how you feel, Anna – it’s so easy to go for the carb heavy options! But these are totally delicious meal choices, too – let me know what you think after you try them!
It seems I can have a “cheat meal” that’s good for me. These restaurants are on-board with healthy eating trends, the dishes are inventive, and everything sounds delicious. Can’t wait!
I agree, Teagan – it’s nice to find a cheat meal that’s still healthy. You don’t feel bad after eating them!
These are fantastic! They all sound like such great places to eat from. It makes eating healthy easy and delicious!
I agree, Amanda! It’s so nice to find places that are healthy that deliver. It makes the work week so much easier!
Italian food was always a childhood favorite of mine and it’s wonderful to see that my kids feel the same way. We love everything from pizza, lasagna, fettuccine, to stuffed shells!
My husband loves Italian – I’m not a big pasta eater, so these are great substitutes when he and the kids want a big Italian meal!
Ok that Blackened Ahi Tuna Salad sound divine. I love me some seared ahi tuna and bonus points because it’s super healthy too!
I’m a huge fan of seared, tuna, too Lindsay! This one is a dish you definitely have to try!
Does anyone know if these restaurants offer whole grain pasta as a replacement? I love pasta but I’m trying to cut back on white flour.
That really depends on the restaurant. Sometimes, when I find a restaurant that makes amazing sauce, I’ll actually just order sauce on the side for delivery and boil my own noodles. But I also have a SUPER picky hubby where sauce is concerned.
My family and I love love love Italian food. We cook it at least once a week. It is the best thing to know that I could get a meal delivered and that is healthier option to munch on.
I agree, Karen. Sometimes we only think of Italian as being heavy pastas. There are really a lot of options, though!
