Hi, a couple of questions that may help to narrow down the choices:

is there a budget limit per person?
Does location matter?
Does it have to kid-friendly? Adventurous diners?
Ambiance matters? (quiet vs loud, upscale vs neigborhood place)
Lastly, when you said family-styled Italian, do you mean big plates to share? Or is it ok to do prix-fix / a la carte per person?
