Restaurant Web Design
That matches your style
Most restaurant websites are slow, hard to update, and built for the agency that built them. Yours should be built for you.
More Than a Website.
A Restaurant Built to Be Found.
Every restaurant I build does four things well. Design that earns trust, content you control, speed that keeps visitors, and language that reaches every guest.
Design That Matches Your Kitchen
Your food is the product. Your website is the first impression. I build sites that carry the same craft as your menu — custom typography, editorial photography treatment, and a visual identity that reflects the quality already on the plate.
A Menu You Can Update Yourself
Seasonal changes, daily specials, price adjustments — your menu moves constantly. Your website should too, without a developer invoice every time. Every site I build hands you full control over your menu from day one, on any device.
Mobile Speed That Keeps Guests
60% of Italian web traffic is on mobile. A slow restaurant site loses more than half its visitors before the menu loads. Every site I build scores 90+ on Google PageSpeed — so the guest who found you on their phone stays long enough to book.
Bilingual Where Your Guests Need It
British, German, and American tourists are Italy’s most active restaurant reviewers — and diners. If your menu exists only in Italian, you lose them before they sit down. Bilingual setup is available from the Pro package upward, properly translated, never machine-generated.
Most Italian Restaurants Are
Falling Behind Online.
Not because they lack customers. Because their digital presence stopped moving while everything else kept up.

Donating to TheFork.
Not every restaurant uses TheFork. If yours does, move the sliders to see what that relationship costs annually — and how much you could recover by taking bookings direct.

What TheFork Costs You Annually
Estimates based on published TheFork pricing of 2–4€ per cover (Restaurant Booking System comparison, February 2026). Actual rates vary by restaurant agreement and subscription tier. Verify your rate directly with TheFork.
Four Weeks. Four Phases.
No Surprises.
A clear timeline so you know exactly what happens, when it happens, and what is expected of you at each stage.
Understanding Your Restaurant
I review your existing site, Google Business Profile, and local competitors. I identify the search terms your guests use when looking for somewhere to eat, and map the content your site needs to win those searches. You receive a written brief before we start designing.
Site audit, competitor review, keyword research, content plan
A 30-minute call. Share your menu, photos, and what makes your restaurant different
Designing Around Your Kitchen
I design the home page first with real content — your menu, your voice, your photos. No lorem ipsum. You see exactly what the site looks like before development begins. Bilingual content (where applicable) is drafted alongside the Italian version so both feel native, not translated.
Home page design, HTML menu structure, bilingual drafts where applicable
One round of feedback. Confirm the menu is complete and photos are ready
Building It Fast and Right
Every page is built on a private staging site you can review at any time. Images are compressed and converted to WebP. The site is tested on mobile, tablet, and desktop. WhatsApp reservation buttons, Google Maps integration, and the HTML menu are all live and functional before handover.
Full build, speed optimisation, mobile testing, WhatsApp and Maps integration
Review the staging site once. Confirm all details are correct before launch
Live — and Yours to Run
Final checks, schema markup, sitemap submission, 301 redirects from your old site, and indexing requests sent to Google Search Console. Then I hand you full control — you can update your menu, add photos, and change your hours yourself without calling anyone. One month of post-launch support is included as standard.
Launch checklist, schema, GBP optimisation, indexing, full CMS training
Final approval. Domain access if changing hosting
Larger projects with bilingual content or custom photography may take five to six weeks. The four phases stay the same — only the duration changes.

What Restaurant Owners Ask
Before They Decide.
Most restaurant websites were built once and forgotten. The question is not whether you have a website — it is whether it works. If it loads slowly on mobile, has a PDF menu that Google cannot read, is in Italian only, or you cannot update it yourself, it is costing you guests every day. A site that works is different from a site that exists.
Yes — and this is the part most agencies get wrong. Every site I build uses WordPress with a simple page editor. Changing a dish, updating a price, or adding a seasonal special takes two minutes on any device. At handover, I walk you through the process on a video call and leave you a short recorded guide. No developer needed, ever.
TripAdvisor and TheFork dominate broad searches. But local and specific searches are winnable — “ristorante pesce Cesenatico”, “trattoria bolognese fronte mare”, “restaurant with terrace Rimini”. These are the searches that bring in guests who are already nearby and ready to sit down. A properly built site with local SEO targets exactly these terms.
Honest answer: photos matter more than design. If your photos are weak, I will tell you before we start. For the Pro and Premium packages I can brief a local food photographer (typically 300–800€ separately) or guide you through a practical smartphone setup that produces usable results. I will not build a beautiful site on top of bad photos.
No. Your TheFork listing stays exactly where it is. A direct booking website works alongside TheFork, not instead of it. The goal is to capture guests who search for you by name — they already know you and would book direct if the option existed. TheFork handles discovery. Your site handles loyalty and direct relationships.
The process is designed so this rarely happens. You see real design with real content at the end of week two — not a mockup, not a placeholder. If something feels wrong, we fix it before development begins. Revision rounds are included in every package. Refund terms and project conditions are written into every agreement before work starts.
Have a different question? Most decisions happen in conversation, not on a webpage.
