Looks like

sincere

free from pretence; genuine

⚠️ The trap

True cognate. But in Italian 'sincero' is used more freely than English 'sincere'. 'Essere sincero' = just being honest. English 'sincere' has a slightly more formal, heartfelt tone.

To say "free from pretence; genuine" in Italian:

sincero (true cognate)

"sincero" in English means:

sincere, genuine, honest in expressing feelings

Example

"Voglio essere sincero con te: la situazione è difficile."

"I want to be sincere with you: the situation is difficult."
