Italian restaurant names please??? I'm opening a restaurant and I need an authentic Italian name Thanks?

Choosing an appropriate name for a business can play a relevant part in its success (or lack thereof). It should be a fairly short name, easy to remember, but not to be confused with similar sounding names.





Some Italian restaurateurs name their joint with their signature dish, such as "la Carbonara" or "la Capricciosa". Other use their first name (or that of their child, grandson, spouse, etc.) when it sounds particularly nice and "homey" (Trattoria da Cesare, Ristorante Zia Sofia, etc.).





Other interesting names which are fairly used by restaurants in Italy hint to bits of local history and lore, such as "Il Contrabbandiere" (the smuggler) or "Il Pirata" (the pirate). There was even a "theme restaurant" somewhere named "Trattoria dal Fascista" (due to the owner's past allegiance to the infamous regime), with the interior all decked with insignias and portraits of the late dictator, but I doubt that this particular business model would be successful elsewhere.





In conclusion, just do what your heart tells you to do. It's always the better way to go.

Well, whatever you choose look at the price behind the name. How much is it going to cost to buy the sign outside, napkins, glasses, menu, business cards, embroidery, ink and materials costs money, therefore shorter is cheaper.





Research your proposed name and make sure you have permission to use that name if some on-else is using it, with lawyer documentation. If not its unnecessary headache in the future.





Next think about public perception, if the name is Italian deli and restaurant, its going to be too generic. Be creative and original.





Don't name it with your name, for reasons in the book, Kitchen Confidential.





Let the style of food and the purpose of the restaurant determine the name, not the other way around.





Manja means eat in Italian. Good luck
Reply:I like Arturo's suggestions.


Just please, please don't go for a mafia / fascism related name. That's so depressing (and stereotyped)!


Without knowing what your restaurant will specialise in it's difficult to help - maybe you can use the title of some famous aria, like "La primavera" (by Vivaldi - it means "the spring"), "Rigoletto" (by Verdi), which could ring a bell also in those customers who don't speak Italian.
Reply:well.....you don't really need an authentic italian name...coz...i guess that your not all of ur to-be-patronizers speak italian..))), except if its an italian neighbourhood.


But you can use the fact that its an italian restaurant to your advantage by using the things italy is famous for to create that glamorous touch which will have pshychological impact on your customers.


hence, "Little Italy" is a good name for a small restaurant which targets customers from the low to middle class financial bracket.





if the restaurant is located in a sporty or student-populated neighbourhood you could try "Mafioso" )) most teenagers and young sportsmen think that the mafia is cool)the name also has a sort of mysticism and exoticism attached to it.





if its a restaurant of substancial size which attracts customers from the higher- middle to wealthy class financial bracket, then "Naples" or 'Venice" are also beautiful names which indicate prestige and high status.





you can also call it "Pasta Palace" "Tastes of Italy" etc





"Bel Piatoo" , "La Campagna" are good names in italian


"buon appetito" is also a cool name!!


good luck.....!!


i wish you u success !
