I think there are several. I have a Hippocrene Dictionary that I got for $5 at "Half-Price Books" in Dallas. FWIW, I would always "guess" open rather that closed. That way, you can use the excuse of modification if you're wrong!
BTW, even Italians disagree. And they aren't perfect with other vowels, either. Everyone will tell you: "There's no [I] vowel in Italian, only [i]." Listen closely to Pavarotti or Bartoli, for example. [I]'s all over the place!
