Giuliana Rancic and her husband, Bill, are getting ready to open a new restaurant in Chicago and have just revealed the name of the new eatery.
The name of their new project is RPM Italian. The name represents the initials of the restaurant's partners -- R for Rancic, P for head chef Doug Psaltis and M for RJ and Molly Melman. Rancic was originally leaning toward a different name, but decided it wasn't the right fit.
"As we got further into the planning for the restaurant, we realized that the name Mama DePandi's felt more Old World Italian, and this restaurant is anything but," says Giuliana. "We are very excited to be this close to the opening and can't wait for Chicago to experience the delicious food that Doug  has been creating for the menu."
RPM Italian is opening its doors in January. 
Rancic previously said she would love for LeAnn Rimes to dine at her new restaurant.
