Americano
An Americano is a cocktail made with Campari and served as an aperitif - so this will be something like a freshly-prepared Americano, or a House Americano - ie an Americano made to the restaurant's recipe. I found the following:
Before dinner, the classic Americano and Negroni are palate-opening drinks. Both are made with Campari and sweet vermouth; the Negroni also includes gin.

Maybe an idea would be to take the name of the restaurant and tag it to \'Americano\' - i.e. XXX Americano - so they know it\'s made to the restaurant recipe. Or stick to House Americano, or \'Americano - made to our secret/special recipe\', depending on how the aperitif list is laid out. Good luck!

C'est un cocktail à base, je crois, de Martini, mais je ne sus pas expert! Il ne faut pas traduire "Americano"

: your comments about Americano are right, but not home made-just probably prepared in a special way (they add something 'extra' to it, etc.)

Am�ricano maison
Dry and Sweet Vermouth and Campari...Vermouth and Campari Cocktail
Those are the ingredients....
a COCKTAIL
Verser sur deux cubes de glace dans un verre haut , le Martini dry , le bitter et le Martini rouge , puis décorer de rondelles de citrons vert et jaune et de tranches d'orange.
L'Américano est peut-être le plus fameux des cocktails doux , très apprécié des femmes.
On peut ici laisser libre cours à son imagination et créer son propre Américano.

And why, pray tell, is it called an Americano?
I think it\'s because it comes in a TALL GLASS WITH ICE!!!

FINAL: House Vermouth/Campari Cocktail

Jane\'s right - not a brand name but a cocktail name (like bloody mary, manhattan....)
it does not change the translation
