GDL Italian by Giada in Baltimore’s Horseshoe Casino has expanded their hours to include brunch Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 am to 2 pm, tempting patrons and casino goers to indulge in their Italian fare. Giada de Laurentiis (GDL) , Food Network star and cookbook author, combines her California take on her family’s Italian cuisine (Kale Caesar Salad, Seasonal Frittata) with local Maryland dishes for brunch (Maryland Crab Hash, Crab Arancini).

Want something a bit more upscale from tailgating, consider GDL Italian, it is within walking distance of M & T Bank Stadium for the Raven’s home games. In fact, one has a broad view of the stadium from GDL Italian’s dining room. There is something for everyone’s taste from the brunch items to top favorites from GDL Italian’s dinner menu.
