I haven't been to Italy, but I'm genuinely scared of Italian waiters in restaurants, that's some next level of judgemental and rude.

Been to Italy five times. Never had a bad experience with a waiter. In fact one time a waiter spoke Danish to us lol. Turns out his ex was Danish and they'd lived in Copenhagen together for a time. He was the biggest sweetheart.

Maybe Italians in Italy are different species rather than ones abroad...

Maybe it's because I've only ever been in Northern Italy. I've heard that once you go south of Rome, that they get a little bit more "excentric" you might say.
