Italian 101: What does Abbraccio mean?

The name Abbraccio, the Italian word for "hug" or "embrace," was chosen to
reflect the partners' fondness for the neighborhood in which they have
lived for more than 25 years. The name also ensures that Abbraccio will be
found towards the beginning of the restaurant listings in the Yellow
Pages!

Apparently, Molestare would have put them smack in the middle of the 
Yellow Pages.  Violare was avoided for similar reasons and "ha un cattivo 
sapore" would have been hard to remember.
