To avoid you troubles I would like correct the errors of previous answers, even if some of them are not real sayings:
mamma mia
bel bambino or bella bambina
Carpe Diem (but that's Latin , not Italian) = seize the day
Bellissima
A mangiare Torino (makes no sense !!)
who drinks well sleeps well he who sleeps well dreams well is "chi beve bene dorme bene,chi dorme bene sogna bene"
(never heard before !!)
Bravo ragazzo (not raggazzo) and brava ragazza.
The link given by Caicos is not reliable. Probably has been written by an italo-american since really a lot of sayings are mispelled. I can't correct all of them but believe me...!!
No comment to Chiara's answer. These are songs not sayings..!!
Un gelato per favore.
Whatever I've not changed is correct. Now you have a lot of right sayings...!! No need I add any new...!!

Ciao!
We say "la dolce vita" (not la vita bella) ... it's about the fine Italian art of living a laid-back life of enjoyment. "Il dolce far niente" means having a good chill-out ... the sweet art of doing sod-all.
"La vita e' bella" means "life is beautiful" ... another famous film title.
It depends what you mean by "sayings" ... do you mean idioms, like "sono rimasto di stucco" (I was gobsmacked), or proverbs like "mogli e buoi, paesi tuoi" (heart is where the home is)? There are many thousands of both types. There are some great books full of them - let me know if you want recommendations.
Or is it conversational phrases you're after, like
"Ti voglio bene" ... I love you ?
Try to be more specific if you can, or you can email me via Answers - your question is too big.
I agree with Martox ... it really is best to avoid Italian-American sites, their Italian is always terrible.
Alla prossima! Ciao!

"Siamo tutti sulla stessa barca ". Literally 'We are all on the same boat', to say same situations same destinies.
