    • Cafe Martorano's fifth anniversary with chef Steve Martorano at the Rio on Friday, May 18, 2012.

      Martorano’s

      Martorano’s restaurant closed late last month at the Rio.

      Chef and namesake Steve Martorano told Robin Leach last month that he was closing the location more than a year after the debut of a second restaurant at Paris on the Strip.

      “I’ve been in Las Vegas eight years, and the dream was always to be on the Strip,” he said. “We had a great run at the Rio, but once we opened our first Strip location, we knew the Rio location would eventually have to close.”
