The homestyle cuisine at this Italian Las Vegas restaurant gets kicked up a notch thanks to the edgy attitude of Steve Martorano. The tough-talking, South Philadelphia-bred chef infuses his own East Coast upbringing into the old-school flavorings of his food, giving it a more authentic, family recipe taste. (Think Rigatoni Sunday Pork Gravy and South Philly Cheesesteak.)
Though he famously forbids substitutions to his dishes, you’ll find that traditional favorites such as Penne Alla Vodka and Linguine in White Clam Sauce are tasty enough just as they are. The large plate portions pair well with specialty cocktails and a lengthy wine list, including his own wine label.
Located along the property’s Le Boulevard shopping and dining corridor, the large space features a bar, lounge and dining room serving dinner, with lunch service beginning in November. The restaurant’s design is influenced by the original location that Martorano (AKA the “Godfather of Italian American Cooking”) first opened in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The Paris Martorano’s is the popular chef, DJ and cookbook author’s second local location in addition to Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.
