A multilingual QR menu for Venice restaurants
In Venice almost every table speaks a different language. MenuDoro shows each guest the menu in their language and sends the ticket to the kitchen in Italian.
Cicchetti and Venetian dishes, explained
Sarde in saor, baccalà mantecato or bigoli in salsa keep their names and get a translated description with allergens.
Clear cover and service charges
If you charge coperto or service, say so clearly in the menu; translated, it avoids disputes at the bill.
Who visits Venice
Istat: in 2025 Rome, Milan, Venice and Florence remained Italy's top four municipalities by overnight stays, with foreign guests making up more than three quarters of stays in all four. Rome alone accounted for 9.4% of all stays in Italy.
Allergens: Italian rules
Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 also covers non-prepacked food. Italy's Legislative Decree 231/2017 (art. 19(8)) requires restaurants to show allergens per dish before it is served, on a menu, register, sign or another equivalent system, digital included, kept clearly visible. If a digital system is used, the same information must also exist in written documentation that guests and inspectors can easily find. Alternatively, a notice can refer guests to staff, as long as that written documentation exists. Art. 19(10) requires the information in Italian, so keep the Italian version alongside the translations.
