Coffee house chess has a lot of interesting ideas; more often than not unsound, but invariably interesting. I don't know if you could label the Italian Gambit unsound, though or even legitimately hang the "coffee house" label on it.

The Jerome Gambit ... now *that* is coffee house ... fully caffeinated - extra strength (use only as directed for prompt temporary relief of quiet games [if conditions persist seek professional guidance]). :-) 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 .Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ *
