Is It Still Italian If It's Not Made by an Italian?

I agree. This is a silly question. I've been to more than my fair share of authentic Italian restaurants that were terrible and I've been pleasantly surprised by Italian restaurants who were run by non-Italians. However, the best Italian meals I've had were prepared at restaurants where there is a connection to Italy in some way, be it by blood or training. If the chef and restauranteur know what they're doing then there's your recipe for success.
