Gift cards

Give an evening along the Via Emilia.

A gift that does not end up in a drawer.

From 50 to 1,000: you choose the amount.

Create your gift card

In a few words

My gift card is a prepaid digital card to use at my table, for lunch or dinner. You choose the amount, from 50 to 1,000, your message and the day the gift opens. It arrives by email, with the QR code to show at the till, and it is valid for 12 months.

Not an amount: an evening.

Whoever receives it chooses what they want from the menu: à la carte, a Percorso, the aperitivo, even over several visits. If you don’t know how much to put on it, my advice is 100: it is the Percorso Via Emilia for two, cover charge included, and there is still something left on the card.

You write the card.

In the form you choose the background, or upload your own photo or a short video, and write the message with your signature. For a birthday, an anniversary, a thank-you, a graduation, for your parents.

Three steps, and the gift is done.

The card is digital: no envelopes to send, no queues. You create it: choose the amount (50, 100, 150 or 250, or any amount from 50 to 1,000), the background or your photo, the message, the signature and the day it opens. It arrives by email, with the QR code and the link to the digital card, with the design, the message and the balance: forward it to whoever you like, or print it. Whoever receives it books a table from my website, as on any evening, and shows the QR code at the till. The credit is used little by little, even over several visits.

How to pay

Pay by card, online, and the gift is active at once; or choose cash or debit card and come to see me: the card is activated when you pay.

For companies

Cards in quantity, with names, invoiced to your company. Tell me how many cards, what amount and for whom: I prepare them.

In good hands.

The risk with a gift is that it is not liked. Here the person who receives it chooses, and at the table my Promise protects them. They choose the evening and the dishes. They have 12 months, with no hurry: the credit can be used over several visits. If a dish isn’t for them, my Promise applies, as for every guest: I change it or take it off the bill. On the Percorsi, I change the dish.

A few rules, written clearly.

Valid 12 months from the day the card is issued. The table is booked from my website or my official channels, as on any evening. The credit is used in one or more visits, until the balance runs out. If the bill is higher, the difference is paid as usual, by card or cash. It is not money: it cannot be exchanged for cash and gives no change. It is a bearer card: whoever shows it can use it; if lost it cannot be refunded, so keep it like a ticket. The usual booking and no-show rules apply.
