Well I would recommend Rosseta Stone for begginers but not alot of us can just spend 200 quid on something like that! So there is also a book called BBC Active Get by in Italian Book and CD pack for only £9.99 which is a phrase book that tells you how to say the words and the CD helps you pronounce the words.
Here's some phrases from the first chapter of the book, Bare Necessities.
Hello/ Bye (informal) Ciao chow
Good Morning. Buongiorno bwonjorno
Good Afternoon/
evening Buonasera bwonasera
How are things? Come va? kome va?
How are you? Come sta? kome sta?
And many many more things including chapters on subjects like Somewhere to Stay & Emergencies.
A really good book to introduce you to Italian!
