Being of Italian descent... there's three kinds of standards... there's decent/fastfood but not authentic by any means standards, good Italian standards and there's comparable to real Italian cooking standards.
La Brezza and La Dolce Vita are the only two I know of that meet the last standard. My dad says Osteria de Medici is of that quality too. My Italian friend said Lena's and Gnocchi's fit that too, but I've never been. Mercato definitely is not up to real Italian cooking standards, and I wouldn't even say decent Italian standards.
