I know it's a chain, but Carraba's (Italian restaurant) makes the best pasta (fettuccine) I've ever tasted. They make their pasta fresh, daily. Try it!
Recommended, awesome, never fail meal at Carraba's:
Shrimp scampi appetizer
Chicken Parmesan with fettuccine instead of spaghetti
The best Fettuccine Alfredo in the States came from L'Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante. (Unfortunately, no longer at EPCOT)
A tasty indulgence, but increase your statin dosage the day after eating this amazing dish.

My partiality toward, most things American, is obviously a byproduct of my... being American.
But, I'm not too proud to say that we're stuck with the crappiest pasta on the planet. "Muellers" tastes like twice dipped parafin. "Kraft" tastes like the cardboard box that it's packed in...and "Chef Boyardee" products are like eating ketchup and earthworms. 😛
I believe he has managed to anger most of the world now.

Another consideration is the amount of time you're willing to stick by the stove.
In the Northern Hemisphere, it's obviously the peak of summer, which is the best time of the year for making great tasting fresh tomato sauce.
When I make fresh marinara, I use ripe San Marzano tomatoes. All spices added in thereafter are also fresh. Garlic, basil, marjoram and oregano are the essentials.
Anyway, if you ask 100 different people, you'll get 100 different methods and recipes: But, I like to cook low and slow, sticking my stirring spoon in periodically throughout the day.
All I can suggest, is to Google and pick a fresh recipe that appeals to you the most. Good luck! 🙂
