idk..it's not bad, but its also Spanish (el capitan), and hispanic population is big here, and i dont want to be sounding like a mexican seafood restaurant...if you know what i mean.
Maybe Capitano's Italian Kitchen...hmmm

La pizzeria del capitano or el capitno's pizzeria.

That definitely sounds Italian (and not Mexican). Maybe it's just me but whenever I see an Italian restaurant with an Italian name I always assume that the owner is actually Italian and therefore the food must be good.

Capitano's Italian Kitchen seems to me a wanna-be Italian restaurant.

Would it be ready by summer? If yes, then check if Inter have a US tour this summer. Maybe you can get in touch with Zanetti and invite him for the opening?

Are you planning on having screens in the restaurant? Maybe you could display the WC games. The name would attract football fans and showing the games would seal the deal.

Haha...Zanetti visiting my Restaurant would give me instant heart attack from happiness...and shit i wouldn't mind it

And yes, im planning on opening in about month or so from now.
Also, i know almost everybody in Austin that's associated with soccer...i own another small New York style pizza place here, and a lot of soccer fans come and watch games...so yes, im planing on having TV screens here too, because people who know me, would expect to watch soccer here too

Wouldn't hurt to try to contact Zanetti, would it? Haha

But in a month or two is too soon. Then stick with the worldcup thing. Do you have your chef yet? If yes, then definitely make an instagram account and start putting up pictures of your dishes from now so you can gather enough customers for the opening. By summer (specially for WC) hopefully your restaurant will be jampacked.

You gotta decide on the name as soon as possible but definitely not without a name.

Since you know a lot of soccer fans, when you make the instagram account you can ask them to follow you and spread the word.

Italian food and world cup matches, what more can anyone ask for.

The perfect scenario would've been Italy being in the WC

If you did start an instagram account make sure you hire a professional photographer so you can post high quality pictures to attract customers.

However this all depends on your budget.

What kind of place is it going to be? Classy? Casual?

Yes, i know someone who ive worked before. He takes pics and takes care of my social media accounts.

It's gonna be more like trattoria type...casual.

Perfect.

Good luck! If you started the instagram account make sure to post it here so we can follow you.

And if you decided to go with any of my suggestions for the name I want a free pizza

 

[InterFCAustin]

Perfect.

Thank you sir. Much appreciated.:thumbsup:

Yes...couple days ago, right...or yesterday don't remember.
That would be cool...Im sick of BeIn Sports shoving PSG in my face and shitty french league games or La Liga ALL THE TIME in their live games line ups.

My opinion is to go for an original Italian name. No Spanish-like or English-like names. I also wouldn't worry much about it being hard for Americans to recognize. Italian names and culture is pretty recognizable in the US as far as I know (or it depends on the state?).

One word names would make it easier. Nerazzurri, La Beneamata, Il Biscione are simple and original. Players names are a cool option too: Meazza, Bergomi, Zanetti, etc.

Bergomi’s or Zanetti’s is what I would go if I decide on a name.

Pazza Pizza

Bergomi sounds better for a restaurant.

Bergomi sounds better for a restaurant.

it certainly is less likely to be mistaken for a mexican place by folks who don't know about football
