Hate to say it, but
Italian in the United States is not like Italian food in Italy. That is a generalization, of course. There are a few pretty authentic places, but even they vary a lot based on the region the recipes came from. So, it comes down to what do you like rather than which is the most "authentic".
Personally, having tried all three of the aforementioned establishments, (all good imho), if I get to choose, I go to the Olive Garden. Love the salad and the various dishes are just fine for me. Yes, Americanized, perhaps. But, being American, it is more like my non-Italian mother would make.
This was not meant to offend anyone's taste or choice. Just another opinion.
