Head over to 400 Dallas St., C. Baldwin Hotel downtown, and you'll find Rosalie Italian Soul, a new Italian spot, offering pizza and more.

This spot was created by "Top Chef Masters" contestant and restaurateur Chris  Cosentino, who named the spot after his grandmother and designed the space to resemble her home in the 1970s. Menu standouts include the prosciutto pizza, Shells & Clams (conchiglie pasta, clams, parsley and garlic “white” or “spicy red” sauce) and the salumi charcuterie board (salami, hot coppa, prosciutto, mortadella, olives and pickled vegetables).
