In re-reading these postings it suddenly occurred to me what the words
"real"" authentic" "good" mean when describing the meals at various restaurants specialized in Italian food.

For instance Giovanni is from Naples. So I am sure if someone used authentic in relation with his meals that would be an accurate statement.

Whereas Olive Garden is a chain of Italian Restaurants owned by Darden Corp. They also own Red Lobster. I wonder how many people from New England shore area feel about Red Lobster being äuthentic"?
