Types of menu we print

Every venue has different needs. For each one we have a suitable format; together we choose the right one for your concept.

Laminated menus

A4 or A3, gloss- or matte-laminated. Washable with a damp cloth, lasting years even with heavy use. Ideal for pizzerias and trattorias.

Folded menus

In 2, 3 or 4 panels. They handle many items while taking up little table space. Excellent value for money.

Hardcover menus

Book-style, hardcover with replaceable inner pages. For upscale restaurants, a premium customer experience.

Separate wine list

Dedicated documents for the wine selection, often book-style or a luxury brochure. For gastronomic restaurants.

Bar breakfast menus

Compact counter format, with photos of breakfasts, snacks, coffee, pastries. Laminated to withstand contact with food.

Daily boards

Small boards or cards for the dishes of the day, seasonal specials, chef's suggestions. Quick to update.

Three things we do differently from online printers

Pixartprinting, Vistaprint, e-commerce printers print the PDF you send them very well. The problem is that the vast majority of restaurants don't already have that PDF ready. That's where we come in.

Design + printing in one place

You don't have to find a designer, wait for the file, check it, send it to a different printer, wait for the print. With us it's one person from start to finish: the in-house design studio sets up the menu, and you print it under the same roof. Fewer mistakes, less time wasted, a single invoice.

Same day if you changed a dish this morning

Thursday's gnocchi is off the menu, you've added a vegan dish for tonight, you've changed the price of the fried platter. Updates like these we handle same-day: send us the message in the morning, pick up the laminated menu in the afternoon.

Walk-in pickup if you're in central Rome

If your restaurant is in the Prati, Borgo, Castel Sant'Angelo, Cola di Rienzo, Vatican or Piazza Cavour area: walk in to collect, no waiting for the courier, no shipping cost. For other Rome districts we arrange a same-day express courier.

Food-resistant papers

A menu survives oil, wine, water, tomato. It needs specific papers, not office ones.

Standard laminated

Ordinary paper coated with a clear plastic film. Washable with a damp cloth, resistant to small stains. The classic solution, at a contained price.

Water-repellent synthetic paper

Polypropylene printed directly. It resists full immersion in water, oil and grease. Practically indestructible, lasting 5+ years.

Laminate paper

Cotton paper with double lamination and rounded corners. Tear-proof, scratch-proof, premium finish. For high-end gastronomic restaurants.

How it works, from the first message to the menu in your hands

Three simple steps, even if you've never printed a menu in your life and have no idea what "350g gloss laminated" means.

You tell us what you need

WhatsApp to 06 4424 0707 or email to stampa@guug.it. You send us the dish list (even as a photo from a notebook or in Word), a photo of the venue or of the old menu if you have one, and tell us how many menus you need. If you don't know what to choose, we advise you.

We propose two layouts

The design studio sets up two layout proposals based on your instructions (or your existing style if you already have one). We send them to you as a PDF draft, you pick the one you prefer, and we make any changes right away.

You print, laminate, collect

You approve the draft, we print right away, we laminate (gloss, matte or soft-touch), we cut to size. Ready at the counter by the agreed time. For venues in the Prati area, walk-in pickup is the fastest option.

The menu is the main product, but a restaurant or bar usually needs a coordinated set of printed materials.

Why a well-made menu changes what the customer orders

The menu is the first thing a customer picks up after sitting down at the table. More than a business card, more than a website, more than a Google review: it's the only physical object that stays in the customer's hands for five to ten minutes while they wait, before deciding how much to spend. A clear, well-photographed, legible, laminated and clean menu conveys care. A menu printed hastily at home, creased or faded, conveys the opposite. On how the dish prices are perceived, this difference matters.

GUUG has been printing menus for restaurants, trattorias, pizzerias, B&Bs with a breakfast room, tobacconist-bars, cocktail bars and gelaterias in central Rome since 2005. The in-house design studio is the added value that sets us apart from online printers: if you've never laid out a menu, we start from a dish list (even written in a notebook) and propose two layouts. If you already have one but want to refresh it, we review it together. If you need to update prices or add seasonal items, we replace only the parts that change: your venue's template stays saved, and later reprints are very fast.

For venues in the Prati, Borgo, Cola di Rienzo, Vatican and Castel Sant'Angelo area, walk-in pickup from our counter is the simplest solution: no waiting for the courier, no shipping costs, no surprises on timing. For other Rome districts we arrange a same-day express courier. To get a quote, send us the dish list (even by WhatsApp) at stampa@guug.it: we reply within 30 minutes with two layout proposals and an estimate of cost and time.

Frequently asked questions

What types of menu do you print?
All of them: table menus (folded or panelled), washable laminated menus, book-style hardcover menus, daily boards, wine-list cards, dining-room floor plans. We adapt format and finish to the type of venue.
How much do laminated menus cost?
The price depends on format, pages, paper and quantity: the more copies you order, the less you pay per copy. For venues with seasonal turnover (4 menus a year) we offer favourable prices on an annual commitment. For a precise quote send us the details at stampa@guug.it: we reply within 30 minutes.
Do you have special durable papers?
Yes. For restaurants with hygiene/dirt concerns we use: laminated paper (washable with a damp cloth), water-repellent synthetic paper (resistant even to immersion), laminate paper (tear-proof). We recommend them based on your real needs.
How long to have them ready?
It depends on the type of job. For seasonal updates to a menu already set up with your template (price changes, new dishes) we work same-day: send us the message in the morning, collect in the afternoon. For new menus to lay out from scratch allow 1-3 days depending on complexity. For true rush jobs (venue opening tomorrow, weekend event) we can work same-day on new menus too, with a small surcharge for priority.
I only need the menu design, do you do that?
Yes, we have an in-house design studio. We design it from scratch or from an existing layout. Clear layout, visual hierarchy (starters, first courses, main courses, desserts), prices clearly shown, dish photos if you have them. See design studio.
Can I update the menu each season without starting from scratch?
Yes, it's the most common case. At the first print run we set up your venue's template (fonts, colours, layout, cover, logo). From then on you send us only the updated list: we change only the dishes and prices, the layout stays the same, and you print and laminate it same-day. That's why many restaurants in the Prati area come back to us 3-4 times a year for the seasonal menu change.
For pickup: can I walk in or do I need a courier?
It depends where you are. If your venue is in the Prati, Borgo, Cola di Rienzo, Vatican, Castel Sant'Angelo or Piazza Cavour area (within 1-2 km of us) we recommend walk-in pickup: in a few minutes you're at the counter, no extra cost, no waiting. For other Rome districts we arrange a same-day express courier. For venues outside Rome we ship by express courier in 24-48 hours.
Gloss, matte or soft-touch lamination: how do I choose?
Gloss: makes the dish colours and photos stand out, ideal for pizzerias and trattorias with a visual menu. Matte: elegant, anti-glare, a modern and understated look, perfect for contemporary restaurants. Soft-touch: a velvety feel to the touch, a premium sensation, suited to high-end restaurants or trendy cocktail bars. All three make the menu waterproof and washable with a damp cloth.
Do you print bilingual (Italian-English) menus for tourist restaurants?
Yes, it's one of our most requested services from the Vatican/Castel Sant'Angelo area. We print bilingual Italian + English menus (and other languages: Spanish, French, German, Chinese on request) for restaurants, trattorias, pizzerias and B&Bs serving international tourism. Double-column or mirror-page layout, allergens shown per EU Regulation 1169/2011 in both languages. You prepare the translation, or a trusted translator does: we handle the consistent layout. Dedicated page: bilingual menu printing Rome restaurants.
Can I order menu printing online, without coming to the shop?
Yes, the whole flow works remotely: send us the PDF (or the copy, if we do the layout) at stampa@guug.it, we reply with a quote and a digital proof to approve, and on confirmation we print and laminate. Then pick up in our Rome Prati shop or we ship: same-day courier in Rome, 24-48 hours across Italy.
