Best Italian in Pittsburgh.
For authentic Italian, I'd recommend Alla Famiglia in Allentown (http://www.allafamigliapittsburgh.com) as well as the aforementioned Piccolo Forno in Lawrenceville. Also, Il Pizzaiolo in Mt. Lebanon has great Napolitan pizza and some decent antipasti and pasta dishes.

Are you seeking authentic Italian or American-style Italian?
Mexican in Pittsburgh?
The best Mexican food in Pittsburgh is at Rey Azteca in Butler, PA, about an hour north of the city. It's run by a nice family from Mexico and, to my taste (having lived in the southwest US), the food blows Campesino, Mad Mex and the rest of them out of the water. Finally, a place to get potato soft tacos (something my Mexican friend used to make often), among other things. Great service too. And before you ask, they have NO plans to come any closer to Pittsburgh. I already asked the manager :(
