Fornicolli's

1538 Light St., SBIC

Fornicolli's is a pizza parlor located at 1538 Light St. in South Baltimore. The project of chef Mark Dunaway has some dine-in seating, but is focused on delivery and carryout food. 

On the menu (which you can view and order from at the restaurant's website), diners will find customizable pizzas, by the slice or whole, and sandwiches ranging from a ribeye cheesesteak to a pepperoni pizza sub. Slices are made fresh, and whole pies have around 20 different toppings to choose from.

With just one review on Yelp so far giving it four stars, Fornicolli's is still in its early days.

"We got a large cheese pizza with sausage, mushrooms, roasted tomatoes and sweet peppers," wrote Yelper Max R., who reviewed Fornicolli's on August 25. "The pizza was very good with plenty of cheese and good sauce... Service was excellent once we were there as both managers were very friendly."

GDL Italian by Giada

GDL Italian by Giada is a new restaurant from Food Network celebrity chef and cookbook author Giada de Laurentiis. Located inside the Horseshoe Casino Baltimore at 1525 Russell St., it's helmed by executive chef Brian Drosenos, as the Washington Post reports.

(You can check out the full food menu here.)

At the bar, the extensive red and white wine lists hew closely to Italian and California offerings, while signature cocktails include The Card Player, a nod to the casino location with Hennessy cognac, amaretto and fresh pineapple juice. For dessert, look for the brownie sundae affogatto, with espresso fudge.

With a four-star rating out of 42 reviews on Yelp, the new eatery has been getting positive attention.

Yelper Rose D. called the crab arancini and burrata "Out of this world," and said that of the pork chop, chicken parmesan, campanelle with shrimp, lasagna, broccoli rabe and smashed potatoes entrees, "The chicken and the campanelle were my personal faves, but everything was good."

"The service was amazing and the ambiance was excellent. This place is stunning!" Yelper Kendra R. wrote, "My favorite was the mushroom pizza topped with fresh arugula. It was absolutely delicious."

GDL Italian is open from 5 p.m.–10 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday and 5 p.m.–midnight on Friday and Saturday. (It's closed on Monday and Tuesday.)
