I am italian living abroad... and De Cecco is the only pasta that you can consistently find that does not cook to a mish mash
Can you find better? Yes of course, also from the same small village in Abruzzo Fara San Martino (see Cocco), or most of the produce from Gragnano, or Rummo (from Benevento).
But among the really commercial ones, not many are better than De Cecco, and even if they are, they are very difficult to find
Btw I am biased: my grandmother was from Fara San Martino
