What if a restaurant menu did more than just list dishes? What if it set the tone for the entire dining experience—turning a simple meal into a story, a conversation, and a bit of chaotic fun?

That was the driving idea behind Papa Leo, a fictional Italian uncle with a dirty mind, a big heart, and an even bigger appetite. Inspired by the irreverent humor of Cards Against Humanity, this menu revamp transforms dining into an immersive experience filled with wit and playfulness.

From “House Rules” that roast your dining habits to dish names that don’t hold back, every word is carefully crafted to bring Papa Leo’s cheeky, no-filter personality to life. The goal? To make eating out more than just sitting down, reading a menu, and leaving—but instead, creating a moment where guests laugh, overshare, and feast like true Mediterraneans.

By personifying Papa Leo and letting his unfiltered, dirty-minded spirit take over the experience, I crafted a menu that doesn’t just describe the food but makes it a conversation starter.

Because at Papa Leo, the rules are simple: Laugh. Overshare. Feast.
