	Mano a mano means "hand to hand."

	"Sotto voce" needs more alternates, and "pro bono" needs more literal alternates.

	Maybe "tit for tat" for quid pro quo? Is that just a Texas/regional thing? Anyone? Bueller?

	At first sight, to me, means immediately. Prima facie means "on the surface", "apparently", "if taken at face value". At a minimum, I would say that needs some alternates

	maybe 'the' good life for dolce vita. otherwise a good quiz

	pro bono does not mean "for free." It means "for good" or "for public good." This quiz is too dependent on guessing the right language.

	Need many additional acceptable answers. Dr_Stalker is right with pro bono. "This for that" or Equal Exchange for Quid pro Quo. Prima Facie options like Alpha states ("on its face" should also be acceptable). Fait accompli refers to an accomplished, "irreversible task" or something like that - should also be accepted. Nice concept; it just needs some tweeking.

	It's my fault perhaps for mea culpa? And (the) good life for dolce vita? Does need some better alternatives. Good quiz though.
