Suite 100 at 11105 S. Eastern Ave. opened as Tuscany Grill in January 1999. It stayed in business through more than 27 years of Henderson growing up around it, then closed in July. As November starts, a new Italian American bistro called The Delmont is in build-out in the same suite.
Farther north on Eastern, near Sunridge Heights Parkway and Sunridge Heights Parkway, a small café has been making bicerin since May: chocolate, espresso and cream poured in separate layers into one glass. Taken together, these two places are rebuilding Italian food on Anthem's end of Eastern Avenue. Tuscany Grill handled the big dinners. The new places split the day between them, with espresso and panini in the morning and pizza with a bar at night.
What 27 years in Suite 100 covered
When the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported the closing in April, it called Tuscany Grill a beloved neighborhood Italian spot. The paper listed what kept people coming back: chicken Parm, seafood pastas, prime rib, very large desserts, and the birthday and anniversary dinners it hosted. That's a dinner-and-occasions restaurant. It was where a table of eight went to mark something.
Mike McQuady, one of the three owners, told the Review-Journal the restaurant had been sold. He said the sale was partly because his two business partners were planning to retire. He also said the new owners wouldn't keep the Tuscany Grill name, and that he was looking for a new place to reopen it. As of the end of October, no new address has been announced. Longtime regulars still don't know where, or if, they'll find that chicken Parm again.
The paper also put the closing in context. Tuscany Grill was the tenth longtime Las Vegas restaurant to close or announce a closing in the first four months of 2026. So this wasn't only an Anthem story. It was the local piece of a year when many long-running restaurants across the valley changed hands or closed.
The morning shift opened first, near Sunridge Heights
Torino Cafè opened in May at 10604 S. Eastern Ave., Suite A. Everyday.Vegas places it in a neighborhood shopping center near Eastern Avenue and Sunridge Heights Parkway. It's run by two Roccos. Rocco Suriano grew up in Torino, and Rocco Marsiglia is from Calabria. They became friends working at Giada in what was then The Cromwell, now The Vanderpump Hotel.
The Review-Journal's August profile traced the café to a problem the two of them kept running into on early mornings at work. Suriano told the paper:
"Where do we go for a really good espresso without having to go to the Strip or to a fine dining restaurant? Torino Cafè really started from something very simple: two Italians in Las Vegas looking for a good morning espresso."
Where Tuscany Grill made its name at dinner, Torino was built around the first coffee of the day. Suriano told the Review-Journal how they split the work. He runs the coffee, the bicerin and the sweets. Marsiglia runs the savory side, especially the panini.
Why the bicerin matters this far from the Strip
Bicerin comes from Torino. The name means "little glass" in the Piedmontese dialect, and Torino's Caffè Al Bicerin, which claims to have invented the drink, has served it since the 18th century. According to the Review-Journal, only a handful of places on the Strip serve it in Las Vegas. Torino Cafè serves it on a suburban stretch of Eastern Avenue. The paper describes Torino's version as dark chocolate, double espresso and whipped cream. For anyone in Anthem, that means a drink that used to require a trip to the resort corridor is now a short drive down the road.
What a Torino visit looks like
Torino Cafè's posted menu lists hours of 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., every day. Those hours make it a breakfast and lunch place, so there's no dinner service. Between the café's menu and the Review-Journal's description, the counter covers a lot:
- Drinks: bicerin, plus espresso drinks made with Nutella or pistachio
- Panini: the Calabria, the Parma, the Italia, mortadella, cotto e formaggio and porchetta
- Plin breads: including a Salmon Po' plin sandwich
- Lighter plates: salads and bowls
- Pastry case: cornetti, cannoli, cakes and other Italian pastries
The menu carries both owners' home regions, with a Calabria panino on the savory side Marsiglia runs. The bicerin and the pastry case are Suriano's territory, and they come from Torino and the gelato and pastry shop his family ran there. A 7 a.m. opening also means Torino is serving espresso hours before Tuscany Grill ever opened its doors.
The Delmont is built around the bar
The evening half of the new setup is moving into the old space. According to the Review-Journal's October report, the Henderson City Council approved transferring Tuscany Grill's restricted gaming license and its restaurant-with-bar license to the new owner, which will operate as The Delmont at 11105 S. Eastern Ave., Suite 100. The same report quoted an Oct. 10 Instagram post from the restaurant: "The Delmont is starting to feel like home."
The Delmont's own website is signed "Chris & Steve." They describe "a casually upscale neighborhood destination with great food, a lively bar, modern gaming, and an energetic atmosphere." They mention East Coast roots, a wood-fired oven, Italian favorites, tavern classics, and "cocktails, pizza, gaming and conversation."
Compare that description with what the Review-Journal said Tuscany Grill was known for. The old room's reputation rested on prime rib, seafood pasta and very large desserts for special occasions. The new owners lead with a bar, gaming, pizza from a wood-fired oven and tavern food. They describe a place where "neighbors can unwind." It's the same address and the same type of license, but the place is being designed around a different kind of evening out.
As for timing, the homepage currently says "We are Firing Up the Oven. Check Back Soon." No opening date has been announced, and the Review-Journal's October report didn't give one either.
How the stretch looks heading into the holidays
| Tuscany Grill | Torino Cafè | The Delmont | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Address | 11105 S. Eastern Ave., Suite 100 | 10604 S. Eastern Ave., Suite A | 11105 S. Eastern Ave., Suite 100 |
| Status | Closed July 2026 | Open since May 2026 | In build-out, no opening date |
| Time of day | Dinner and celebrations | Daily, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. | Evening bar, dining and gaming |
| Known for | Chicken Parm, seafood pastas, prime rib, desserts | Bicerin, panini, cornetti, cannoli | Wood-fired oven, pizza, tavern classics |
The table shows a gap. This holiday season, Anthem's stretch of Eastern has an Italian place serving espresso at 7 a.m. but no Italian dinner room down the street. Tuscany Grill's suite is still under construction, and the Tuscany Grill name has no new home yet. Anyone planning a December family dinner on this corridor will have to wait for The Delmont to open or for McQuady to announce where Tuscany Grill is reopening.
Torino Cafè is open now, though. Its 3 p.m. closing makes it a weekend breakfast or a weekday lunch stop. The bicerin is the order you can't get anywhere else nearby without driving to the Strip.
A restaurant that lasted 27 years, an espresso bar from Torino and a wood-fired bistro on the way make for an easy conversation over coffee. If you'd like a few more local favorites along Eastern Avenue, or you want to be among the first to hear when The Delmont opens, Jennifer Belcastro would love to share what she's following.
