"Spaghetti alla Nerano." Your phone translates that as... "spaghetti alla Nerano." It is fried zucchini, basil and provolone del Monaco, melted into a sauce on the Amalfi Coast. You would have read past it and ordered the carbonara. Translation gives you the name. Menu Explain gives you the dish. Point your camera at any menu, in any language. Every dish comes back explained, pictured, and flagged for allergens. WHAT YOU GET, ONE PHOTO AT A TIME • Detailed summary of the dish • Ingredient breakdown • Food photos • Calorie estimates • Allergen Flags • Translations Menu Explain reads the dish, not just the word. Disclaimer: Descriptions, images, calories and allergen flags are informed estimates based on the dish name and can be wrong. If you have a serious allergy, always confirm with restaurant staff.
