What is your favorite italian food?
Probably anything to do with pasta.
Pasta is a very universal dish. whats your go to?
It may be universal but usually way overdone outside of Italy. I enjoy a pasta done with fresh tomato sauce or with vegetables like zucchini or eggplant. 
So would you say Olive Garden isnt real italian?
No, not real Italian. They overdue cheese and garlic. They cover the flavor of the actual food.
what restaurant would you say is the closest to real italian?
There aren't too many good ones in my area, so it is hard to say. Certainly not any chain Italian restaurants. Uusally you are better off with a small mom and pop restaurant. Do you have a favorite?.
Never really seen one or i can say really have tried. I guess traveling to italy would be anybodys best bet.
You haven't tried amy Italian food?
