A navigation app which names this place should ideally pronounce it "correctly" as would a local (someone in the language that is set in the app) do. My guess is that most Germans would pronounce "spazio" with a German accent but would recognize it as an Italian word and German being here similar in pronounciation to Italian, would be easily understandable for an Italian. Most Germans would probably try to pronounce "Italian" as English (63% declared to be able to speak English) and all but the most educationally challenged would pronounce "Bistrot" in French (which is the common pronounciation in German as well).
