Their all-audio approach makes it easy to engage Italian speakers in conversation. The naturally talkative Italians themselves appreciate with passion a foreigner speaking their language, and with Pimsleur Italian you will speak well and with excellent pronunciation. The only drawback to Pimsleur is that there is only a little bit of reading practice. There is a reading booklet and cd in each level, but some kind of supplemental reading material is needed. I'd still choose Pimsleur Comprehensive over all other methods, it's simply the best.
