Meh. Fusions are trendy. As long as you keep the core items that current customers come for, I don’t see why branching out to the neighbor’s tastes would be a bad thing. You could call it Mediterranean food & bring in Greek & Turkish flavours to hit the middle eastern crowd. Or keep Italian and just modify it. American = spaghetti with meat sauce. Vegetarian = spaghetti with marinara. Middle eastern. = spaghetti with halal meat & tone down the pork if not eliminate it from your menu (not a bit Italian meat anyhow).
It’s nice to see she got a smile out of Papa after all times they’ve had conflict. If it brings the family together I’m sure he’ll be glad even if he takes a monetary hit.

Claire’s advice is a disaster waiting to happen. She’s going to lose her place when the restaurant closes.

My grandfather said the same things about me. With the same result.

Expanding the menu is fine, but not to non-Italian items at an Italian restaurant!

Start a twitter feed and announce daily specials. Just don’t go crazy.
Keep the core Italian menu.

Twitter us a great way to promote a small business. I don’t tweet but I would if I had something like that to promote
