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).
