Since you're pretty well developed on the basics, http://www.semi-fluent.com might help.
Paste in the daily news, for instance, and it'll help you breeze through the vocabulary you don't know yet while habituating yourself to reading Italian in daily use.

There's a series of language books that all have "...in Three Months" in the title. I'm fairly sure there was an "Italian in Three Months" in the series. You may be able to find it on eBay or Amazon. This whole series is in English, but that does not seem to be a problem for you. These books are very practical and have excellent exercises for learning languages.

There's a course that I really like. It's made for kids, it's a cartoon based, comedy from the BBC called "Muzzy in Gandoland". I don't work for BBC, I just really like this course. It comes in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Esperanto, Gaelic, and Mandarin.

Rosetta Stone is a great way to go, although i don't have the program myself. I speak fluent italian but it is also my college major so I am surrounded by it on a daily basis, but if you just want a computer program I would say Rosetta Stone and a few grammar books (Schoems Outlines) would be a great start.
Italiano e la piu bella lingua nel mondo!

I can teach you, if you wish;) I'm Italian and majored in Linguistics; irregular verbs are the most difficult thing to learn, and Italian has many. Comunque, se tu parli gia' il francese e lo spagnolo, non avrai difficolta' ad imparare bene anche l'italiano;)
