Here are a few:

Italian:

BUCA (the original) is on 12th Street between Hennepin and Harmon Place
Zelo: is at the corner of Nicollet Mall and 9th Street

<maybe not what you mean, but for a good, cheap meal> Old Spaghetti Warehouse : along Washington Ave at either portland or Park Ave

For pizza:

Punch : East hennepin near University
Pizza Nea: East Hennepin near University

Chinese:
Not as much (there's more Thai, Japanese or Indian), but consider:
Ping's: 14th & Nicollet (I recommend the black bean chicken)
lots of so-so fast food chinese places in the skyway (open for lunch only)

(south of downtown), I'd recommend Rainbow (in the 2700 block of Nicollet Avenue)

GOOD LUCK!

I can't suggest any Chinese places since I haven't dined at any downtown.

As for Italian, well MplsTodd is right on about pizza...if you want a fantastic meal visit Punch Neapolitan Pizza ...absolutely DELICIOUS!!!

I will also recommend Bellanotte Minneapolis located across from the Target Center and D'Amico Cucina D'Amico and Partners in Butler Square.

I can think of some more Italian restaurants worth visiting, but they're not downtown...

Nicollet Mall only extends south to, I believe, 14th street. After that, it becomes Nicollet Avenue. If you're looking for Chinese, I would say the best stretch would be from 25th to about 29th and Nicollet: Evergreen, Caravelle, Rainbow Chinese, etc. There are also restaurants such as Azia (asian fusion), Singapore, various Vietnamese shops, etc.

Most of these restaurants are pretty hole-in-the-wall. Rainbow Chinese is probably the closest to 'upscale'.

You'll also see a lot of Mexican restaurants in that neck of the woods, hence it's moniker of "Eat Street".
