   No, that's the power of mediocre. Equating bottomless plates of pasta   
   with Italian cuisine is just sad; it basically just says "we don't get   
   out very much." One would think that if you're coming to one of the   
   most culinarily diverse cities in the country, not to mention the   
   world, you might get away from the Olive Garden for a night.
