While growing up in the New York City area, I was often mistaken for being Jewish. My ancestry is 100% Italian.
In NY, Jews immigrated from places like Germany, Austria, Eastern Europe and Ukraine. So even if I have Italian Jews in my lineage (and based on my grandmother's maiden name, I might), I don't think that would account for the perceived similarity in appearance.
