Hello Frank,
I play in an Italian BYOB restaurant and in some respects the wine dictates the music selection. For the first hour or so, soft, mostly down tempo tunes, then as the wine kicks in, the tempos, and the energy increase. Towards the end of the night it’s show time … here is a partial list that seems to work in an Italian restaurant setting:

Yes, those too!
DonM

Jerry ... that's a great list ... I was surprised I didn't see Ciao, Ciao, Bambina on there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t3Ru6EaF-Q

Also, Roma Non Fa La Stupida is not a song on everyone's list either ...
Not having seen "Roman Holiday" I was not familiar with the tune... heard it for the first time while having dinner in Rome with our good friend Andrea (Dreamer) ... I have played it since...

Stars Fell On Alabama

All The Things You Are
I Guess I’ll Hang My Tears Out To Dry
Where Are You
Where Is Love

Try A Little Tenderness
Someday (You’ll want me like I want you)

A Kiss To Build A Dream On.
Yakety Sax Ha! Ha! ( DonM Does This One)

I’ve Got You Under My Skin (Vocal Slow Bossa)
I Get A Kick Out Of You

Tony, I do Ciao,Ciao Bambino and lots more that I didn't list.
Have you been in contact with Dreamer? He was having some medical problems and I would like to know if they were resolved and know that he is well.
Ciao,
Jerry

When we last spoke things weren't resolved yet, but he was hopeful ...
I know he was posting at one time on http://www.createsongstyles.com/forum/
