The reason that Italy imports Dutch tomatoes is probably for using them in tomato sauce and other tomato products.

Italy's export of tomato products is far greater than its raw tomato export: see e.g. http://www.tomatonews.com/en/global-tomato-products-trade-20...

So no, I wouldn't say that Italians like Dutch tomatoes as much as their own.
