The new taste in town


Explanation:
You really need a copywriter for this kind of translation - I don't think a literal rendering works here. This is one possibility.

Italy's first real/authentic steakhouse


Explanation:
Based on probable context and the fact that this is a new type of eaterie by Italian standards (as Fiona points out), I would promote it as such.
I guess the translation is aimed at tourists and non-native Italian diners.
