"Where do we go for a really good espresso without having to go to the Strip or to a fine dining restaurant?" Rocco Suriano told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he and his business partner kept asking themselves that question over morning coffee. They answered it on South Eastern Avenue, a short drive from Seven Hills, by opening Torino Cafè in May.
Suriano's question explains most of what happened on this road in 2026. Several of the year's new arrivals came from people who learned their trade in Las Vegas resort kitchens. They brought that training to Eastern Avenue, and they built their businesses around the first half of the day. At the same time, the road's best-known Italian dinner address changed hands after more than a quarter century.
Twenty-Seven Years at 11105 South Eastern
Tuscany Grill opened in January 1999 at 11105 S. Eastern Ave., Suite 100. The Review-Journal described it as a neighborhood Italian place known for chicken Parm, seafood pastas, prime rib, very large desserts, and celebrations. In April, co-owner Mike McQuady confirmed to the Review-Journal that the restaurant had been sold and would close for renovation into a new concept. He also said he was looking for a new location to reopen Tuscany Grill.
It closed in July. By then it was one of the longest-running restaurants in Henderson.
The Delmont Keeps the Address Italian, With a Different Clock
The next tenant kept Italian food at the address and changed almost everything else. The Henderson City Council approved transferring Tuscany Grill's restricted gaming and restaurant-with-bar licenses to a new licensee doing business as The Delmont, which describes itself as an Italian American bistro. The Review-Journal reported that it takes over the same Suite 100 space.
The owners sign the restaurant's About page as "Chris & Steve." They describe a "casually upscale neighborhood destination" with a wood-fired oven, Italian favorites, tavern classics, a lively bar, and modern gaming. They say the place is inspired by their East Coast roots. The menu reflects that mix. It lists brick-oven pizzas and Italian American pastas and entrées next to East Coast-style sandwiches such as a Philly cheesesteak and a Chicago beef. The restaurant's contact page lists hours that run well past midnight. Call 702-940-1400 for the current schedule before planning a late visit.
Tuscany Grill was a place for dinner and celebrations. The Delmont presents itself as pizza, a bar, and gaming, with longer hours. The building and the licenses carried over, but the kind of evening is different. The bigger change on Eastern Avenue this year happened earlier in the day.
A Barista From Turin, Half a Mile Up the Road
Torino Cafè is at 10604 S. Eastern Ave., Suite A. It is an Italian specialty coffeehouse and bakery opened in May by two friends who met working at Giada, in the hotel then called The Cromwell and now The Vanderpump Hotel. Rocco Suriano grew up in Turin, where his family owned a restaurant that later became a gelato and pastry shop. Before Las Vegas, he was a partner in a San Francisco restaurant and helped launch restaurants in Texas. Rocco Marsiglia is from Calabria, trained at an Italian hospitality and culinary school, and worked in Australia and the United Kingdom.
They split the menu by background. Suriano told the Review-Journal he runs the coffee program, the bicerin, and the sweets, and Marsiglia runs the savory side, especially the panini.
The bicerin is the drink to try first. It is a historic hot drink from Turin, served since the 18th century at the city's Caffè Al Bicerin. In the Piedmontese dialect, the name means "little glass." In Las Vegas, the Review-Journal found it at only a handful of places on the Strip before Torino Cafè began serving it in Henderson. Torino's version is served in layers: dark chocolate, then a double espresso, then whipped cream, finished with cocoa powder. "The bicerin is probably the drink that tells the Torino story best," Suriano said.
Hoodline reported in August that the café is open daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. With those hours, it serves breakfast and lunch and closes in the afternoon.
A Wynn Pastry Chef Takes the North End
At the north end of this stretch, Café Breizh opened its second location at 9550 S. Eastern Ave., Suite 110. The bakery calls it its Henderson location, but the mailing address is Las Vegas 89123. The first Café Breizh opened in the Summerlin area nearly 10 years ago. Founder Pierre Gatel is a third-generation pastry chef with more than 20 years of experience, including leading pastry teams at Wynn and Encore Las Vegas.
The bakery's May 5 announcement says it makes everything in-house every day with French butter. The menu covers croissants and other viennoiseries, savory crêpes, and seasonal items, and the Henderson shop said it would add them in phases. "Our goal has always been simple—make everything fresh, and make it properly," Gatel said in the announcement.
The Henderson shop's online ordering page lists hours of 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday. For special orders, it asks customers to contact the bakery directly. If you want something specific for a holiday table, call the bakery and ask before you count on it.
Taken together, Suriano came out of a Strip restaurant kitchen and Gatel came out of Wynn and Encore's pastry departments. Both opened on this road in 2026, and both close by late afternoon.
