Great Italian in Phoenix...my answer to that would depend on what great Italian that one had exposure to...I am not a fan of much of what is considered "great" by people in town. I find it too be out of date and not executed well. There is someone that I consider the best Italian chef in town but he is supported by poor service and by my friend's last report to me that ruined his meal.

As for Mexican...I think most would list Barrio Cafe, Los Sombreros (chef just left), Tradiciones at the Ranch Market, Carolina's (best tortillas), Pepe's Taco Villa as some of the better spots in town. I am not sure that I would prefer any of them over Mi Nidito, El Torero or any of the spots down your way.

Hope That Helps,
