It depends on what you order, what service you get, and the size of the bill. Let’s say you just get a slice of pizza; 15-20% is the tip for standard service. Something like 25% or more for GOOD service. Water is free, but if you keep getting it refilled you should tip. The table is free but if you sit there for 2 hours you’d better pay a little rent. I’d say if you’re being served at a table, don’t tip less than a couple bucks per hour.
It depends on where the restaurant is, what service model it has, and whether the restaurant includes tips in the bill already.
Seriously, this is not a one-answer-fits all question. Not even in the US, where usually not tipping is incredibly rude and basically the same thing as saying you expect free labour from your server.
