I’d recommend the North end for some Italian, Antico Forno is good old school and reasonable also Galleria Umberto for lunch, can’t get much better and it’s real cheap and lastly Modern Bakery for some dessert....

Touche on the Chinese comment.:) I agree with you on the pizza. Have you tried the ones at Antico Forno though? They make a pretty good traditional Neopolitan with just fresh buffalo mozzarella, a little suace, and a few basil...
