Italian term or phrase: Saggio Attilio, Sorriso
Vegetarian Restaurant menu

names of types of pizzas - should I translate them - for instance "Wise Attilio" and "Smile", leave them as is, leave them as is with the English translation in parentheses. I'm a little undecided. Translating "Pizza del Baffo" into Moustache Pizza doesn't quite sound as interesting. Any suggestions. Thanks a bunch.

Explanation:
They sound awful translated. I'd leave them, theey're bound to have an accompanying description as even the Italian ones need it.
