plaster
From a bill of quantities: decribing the type of plaster to be laid:
"Intonaco al civile completo, su pareti verticali ed orizzontali, per interni, tirato perfettamente *sottoriga* e finito con frattazzo corto, Compresa la rete in materiale plastico e l'aggrappante dove l'intonaco copre i cordoli e i pilastri in CA, al fine di evitare nel tempo cavillature."
All suggestions welcome.

leveled off with a straight edge
preferably leveled off with a straight edge
You can use any straight edge, a plank of wood or box section aluminum, which won't warp after it's got wet.
In order to straighten the cement render coat, you have to push the aluminum straight edge (moving it from left to right, like sawing), making sure it goes along the guidance pillars.

nice and even
Sotto riga or sottoriga Balanced/ controlled. '' leveled to perfection''
In English I would say ''nice and even'' '' perfectly flat/balanced ''.
