Other than maybe a few people in the Vatican, which technically isn't Italy anyway.
Please tell me it is. I want to enjoy Italian food in Italy with calm people who don't feel the need to get worked up.
Thank you.

Italian-Americans are the ones who have the exaggerated loudness, not the Italians proper. I don't know why this is, but that's how I can usually tell a true Italian from an Italian-American for the most part. I've only been wrong once on that so far. Needless to say, I have many good friends from Italy.

Yes it's very possible. Because I am exactly that way myself. And , to the other poster above, I'm Italian-American, not Italian as in born in Italy or living in Italy right now. To the original question asker however, I'd say judge people by the individual, only if or after you've gotten to know them a bit, otherwise don't judge people at all (unless it's your job that is, and you wear a black robe every day at work and hear peoples' cases). But, whatever you do, unless you want to take that (always available) shortcut to having to actually THINK at all (which is , of course, your own prerogative), don't judge people by ethnic or racial stereotypes or by some things you've seen on TV or .... what-have-you. Peace. Enjoy Italy.

Well, I am not Italian-American or whatever else you want to call it, but I do happen to be 1/2 Italian and while its true that I CAN be loud, and I do use my hands a lot when I speak, I happen to think that I am a very pleasant person to be around especially when it comes to dining (Because as an Italian, I LOVE food).
You shouldnt judge people by color, race or descent, because you are limiting the people you could be inspired by. I think you have a small mind, but maybe your trip will allow you to open up.
Good Luck.

sounds to me like you have prejudged and stereotyped all Italians from something you have seen (a movie perhaps??) or one person you may have known....
how about if I prejudge you and your entire culture based on the same sort of thing??
Go to Italy and enjoy it, with an OPEN MIND
but if you can not have an open mind about your trip, you will probably not enjoy it, or only come away with what you expected to experience in the first place....in which case it is a wasted trip and a waste of money

Antonio's - l. a. Porte , Deer Park, and Baytown do no longer understand what section you're in, yet this place is great, informal and much less high priced. i like it. attempt it - it would desire to be properly well worth the stress once you're a distance away. There could be one in different areas of Houston - i'm uncertain.

you generalize italians as being hot headed and yet you intend to go to their country and eat with them? sounds a bit rude to me. why don't you just go to italy without this idea and find out for yourself.
