How to create the perfect name for your Italian Restaurant

Before I go into the list of Italian restaurant names, I want to highlight some tips to guide you in crafting your own.

Let’s face it. You can take a look at all my name ideas and none of them might click for you.

According to Fable Melbourne, here are a few pointers that should help you on your path to coining that blockbuster Italian Restaurant name:

Tip 1: Use your name

This is basically a naming hack most people overlook.

It’s a no-brainer that one could simply just use their first or last name and more or less project that “branded” vibe.

For example, my name is Richard. For as long as I can remember, all the business name ideas I’ve ever come up with either had a suffix or prefix with the name “Richee”.

Like “Richeelicious” (the name of this food blog) or “Richeetech” (the name of my tech blog).

Get it?

Another great reason to use your own Initials in choosing your ideal Italian Restaurant business name is for ease of online discovery.

You want to avoid a situation where your potential customers are searching for your brand name on Google search and are seeing something totally different from your business.

Tip 2: Use Italy

If you want to tell people that you sell Italian food, there’s no better way to let them know than to add the name “Italian” in your Italian Restaurant name.

A more effective hack would be to use Tip 1 and Tip 2 in a combo. E.g – Your name + Italian.

Like “Richee’s Italian” or “Freddy Italiano”.

Tip 3: KISS

Keep it short and simple.

The whole essence of “Branding” in a business name is for it to be memorable.

No one has the luxury of patience trying to cram your business name that just happens to be 5 words long.

So keep it short & simple. Shoot for 2 words max.

Check availability of your Italian Restaurant names online

If you’ve gotten some ideas for your business name, the next logical step for you to do is to check if someone is already using that name.

The best way to check is to go to a domain name finder to search.

Step 1: Simple click here.

Step 2: You’ll see an address bar. Input the name you’re considering and choose the domain extension (.com, .net etc).

Step 3: Click “Check Availability”.

The website will search all of the internet in less than 3 seconds and tell you if your chosen name is available.

If it’s not, just search a different or similar name until you find one that’s available.

When you see an available domain name, click “Next”.

You’ll be taken to a page where you can claim this name online to create a web presence for your Italian food business.

Just fill in the details they request of you and continue until checkout.

If you’re not looking to make a website yet, it’s strongly advisable that you still go ahead and buy the domain name at the very least so as to secure it from anyone coming to use the name in the future.
