Americans frequently tip but Italians don’t necessarily expect it. Italians themselves generally do not tip and when they do, it isn’t the full 15% to 25% common in the US. Italians pay a fair wage. Italians don’t rush you through a meal. Italians will not bring you the check until you ask for it. At a restaurant, the table is yours for the duration as long as you desire it. You will not be rushed away.
Enjoy your meal!
