We all have our preferences and expectations Authentic, truly authentic food of any culture is going to vary greatly dictated by what was available. Peasant foods account for the most iconic dishes of most cultures.
I, for one, like Olive Garden. Great authentic Italian? No! (Thank God) But, I'm not native Italian, I'm American. So, for Italian inspired food, I like it.
Fredric, not Federico.
Have been to Italy several times and this is my opinion.

Pasta and other Italian dishes better than here.

Pizza invented over there and perfected in NYC.

BTW like olive garden but all I ever order is salad and soup.
