New Restaurant needs a great look!

Piatti Ristorante and Bar

We are a new restaurant located in Glastonbury, CT, USA. We are a casual, yet elegant, restaurant providing Italian fare to the relatively affluent community around us. We provide a romantic, upscale, sophisticated setting for couples and families to enjoy. Glastonbury had a median age of 40, with an average income of $80k. 73% of the population is families.

individuals and couples 30+, families. Our clientele tends to be a more discerning group, both well-educated and affluent.

Looking for a site that fits our style. Although we are an Italian restaurant, we do NOT want a traditional Italian restaurant look. The site must be clean, easy to navigate and not overly cluttered.

Colors: brown and tan, maroon, dark greens. Background color can be black (we use black inside restaurant), and you can use maroons and possibly a ruby red as accent colors.

Navigation: will have either drop downs or a "sub menu" bar (see "sites we like" for an idea).
