Tavolina

Tavolina looks like the menu card on a good trattoria table: cream paper, espresso ink, paprika and olive, big DM Serif Display headlines with an italic phrase, dish names in serif italic, small capitals, hairline rules, double-ruled menu cards, olive-sprig ornaments and arched "trattoria window" photos. Specials and events go on a dark chalkboard band, the header turns into frosted glass when the page scrolls, and a candlelit dark scheme is one click away. It needs no page builder.

Made for restaurants

• The menu. Dishes and drinks with prices (or sizes such as Glass / Bottle, Small / Large), dietary marks (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free…), the 14 EU allergens as numbers or names, chef's picks, new dishes and spice level. The menu page shows a printed card with a switcher (Lunch, Dinner, Drinks), section links that stay in view, two columns with dotted leaders, the key, and a filter bar (search, dietary chips, allergens to leave out, sorting).
• Every dish has its page: an arched photo, the section, badges, the price, the dish facts (dietary, allergens, pairing, calories) and its story, with more dishes from the same section.
• Opening hours with lunch and dinner, holidays and special dates, an "open now" chip in the header that stays right on cached pages, today's hours in the footer.
• Reservations: a table request form that only offers times when the restaurant is open; requests arrive under Messages and by email. Or link to your booking service.
• Events and specials: winemaker dinners, music nights, classes, holiday menus, with dates, prices, tickets or seat requests, and an "Upcoming events" Query Loop.
• Visit us: the address, phone, directions and a map that loads only after a click.
• Press quotes, a gallery and order links (delivery, takeaway, gift cards) from the Restaurant settings page.
• Structured data for the restaurant, its menu and its events.
