As part of my never-ending quest to get more people to read Romano Guardini, I would recommend:
The Lord is Guardini's primary work of Christology, essentially walking through the life of Christ as presented by the Gospels and providing his own reflections throughout. Similar in style to Ratzinger's Jesus of Nazareth books.
Here is where you'll get most of his ecclesiology. The richest content comes in his understanding of the relationship between the individual and the community in terms of "the Kingdom of God". I'm pretty firmly convinced that this work had a heavy influence on Ratzinger's relational ontology and thus his eschatology.
A wonderful work that helped me understand the beauty and mystery of the liturgy. Another massive influence on Ratzinger here, who named his own book after this one.
Another one focused on the liturgy, Guardini's main goal here is to equip people to fully participate in and fully experience the mass. It's a series of "meditations" on how to prepare oneself for the mass, and really helpful for those who might find the mass boring or struggle with distractions.
Or there's a great anthology put together by Heinz Kuehn called The Essential Guardini
