Thank you for the suggestions though. I am trying one of these restaurants this weekend; which one out of them would you recommend the most?
Out of those five I'd recommend Portofino's. Great Italian food, it's a sit-down place with nice ambiance but also casual (esp. compared to Ristorante Bergamo and Trattoria Giorgio which are more on the upscale side). I think Portofino's is more authentic food-wise than Travinia and Giovanni's too.
It was a joke RedJohn. I love the Olive Garden too. How could you not? I'd also recommend Portofino's. I LOVE their bread rolls. Anybody tried Kozani's downtown yet? How about Brioso's?

Hmm, Awesome, thank you innovator82...!
I think I will be trying Portofino's this weekend. I have never been there but considering that g-man recommends it as well, it must be really good (Considering he is Italian )
PS G-man, since you mentioned earlier that you were Italian and you said that Olive Garden was not that great I began wondering why; I'm glad you were just joking
I would have to agree with Fratelli's in Easley. Wonderful, authentic homemade Italian food. Everything made from scratch that will make you swoon. Give them a try.
You know thanks to your comments about this restaurant I am going to go there this week ! I drive by there everyday but never knew ! ...thanks...

You should! Fratelli's is great. We go there very often and have since he opened. We were excited to find true NY pizza and his homemade dishes are something to look forward to. Well it's almost lunch time.....
LOL. Olive Garden is not nearly as bad as Taco Hell. At least Olive Garden uses quality ingredients. Taco Bell's ingredients are cheap and low quality.
Olive Garden isn't 5-star fare. It's not even on the same level as chain restaurants like Carrabba's and Macaroni Grill. I rarely eat at Olive Garden, but when I do I always enjoy it. It's still good food that is reasonably priced for most people.
As for the OP, lots of good recommendations here. Hopefully you'll find something great for your clients!

The first two are located downtown if that's where you're interested in eating at.
