Mistress Helewse worked with and translated a number of these menus.
They were on her geocities website, but it's gone of course.
Wayback machine didn't seem to have that menu section saved, so
these are from my notes.
Anyway--
This is how she translated a couple of menus:
Menu I
Primo servito di Credenza - First service from the side board
Primo et ultimo servito di cucina - First and last service from the
kitchen.
Secondo et ultimo servito di Credenza - second and last service from
the sideboard (all cold)
Levata la tovaglia - Table raising
Menu II
Primo Servitio di Credenza First service from the
Sideboard.
Primo Servitio di Cucina First Service from the
Kitchen
Secondo Servitio di Cucina Second Service from
the Kitchen
Secondo Servitio di Credenza Second Service from the
Sideboard
A finire To finish
hope this helps
