Is Olive Garden an “italian restaurant”?

I got in a discussion yesterday about Olive Garden being an “italian restaurant” with some supporters of Red Sauce and Giovanni’s. They said that the ingredients, cooking practices, and the traditions and the like of these family owned restaurants are Italian whereas Olive Garden’s being a chain and the like only really earn Olive Garden the name of “chain.” What do you think? I have not been to the Olive Garden here in TV but have been to the Red Lobster in TV and the dinner I had there was better than many I have had in family owned restaurants. Did a little research and funny that the best pizza one blogger had in Italy was from a chain called Spizzico in Rome http://pacejmiller.wordpress.com/200…-had-in-italy/ Even though it looks like the quality of the pizzas in this Spizzico chain varies a great deal from city to city.
