So let me get this straight;

You have never run a restaurant before,
You've never run a sushi restaurant before
You want to open a sushi restaurant, in a busy italian city, one that is especially noted for it's style and taste, presumably on a 'high-street outlet' basis,
And you've come onto the internet for serious business advice?!

Lady, you are in trouble before you even begin! H

Have you got somewhere to open your restaurant? How are you going to find a qualified chef? Have you eaten sushi before? Are you familiar enough with quality sushi to know if your chefs are any good? Have you been to Japan and tried sushi there? How about market research; is there a big enough niche or a big enough demand in Japan to justify opening a japanese restaurant there?

I think the first critical issue you should address is getting some experience managing a restaurant and THEN experience with the art of sushi.
