A brief that works
Paste it as is, or use it as a starting point and describe your own room.“Family trattoria in Bologna, kraft paper texture, olive green and tomato red, a friendly rounded serif, pizza section with a small margherita illustration, wines by the glass on the back.”
Long lists, kept readable
Pizzerias have the longest menus in the trade: thirty pizzas, twenty pastas, antipasti, dolci. Menu Atelier balances columns automatically, groups by section with generous headings, and keeps descriptions to one tidy line so nothing feels crammed.
Rustic without the clichés
Skip the chequered tablecloth. Upload a photo of your oven, your terrace or the grandmother's recipe card and let the AI build a palette and ornaments around it. Ask for a small vector illustration of a basil leaf or a slice and it draws one in your colours.
Bifold for the full carte, A5 for the pizza list
Many trattorie use a folded A4 for the full menu and a single A5 for take-away pizzas. Both share the same design source, so the brand stays consistent across the room and the delivery bag.
Tips for this venue
- ✦ Paste pizzas as 'Name – ingredients – price' lines; the parser recognises the pattern and keeps toppings on one line.
- ✦ Mark vegetarian and spicy pizzas in the text (V, 🌶) and the design turns them into small consistent markers.
- ✦ Ask for 'Italian names in italics, translations in small text' for bilingual menus.
- ✦ Print an A5 take-away card in the same style; it fits inside the pizza box.

Yes. Long sections flow into two columns or onto the next face automatically, and you can ask for a tighter line height if needed.
Yes. Write both in the dish name or description; ask the AI to italicise the Italian and reduce the translation.
Ask for it in the Brand tab: Menu Atelier generates a vector asset in your palette that you can place on the cover or as a divider.
