Martorano’s at Paris Las Vegas has closed as part of the reshuffling of the resort’s restaurants, shuttering after dinner service on Sept. 26. A spokeswoman for the company declined to comment on what will replace it.
Martorano’s was created by South Philly native Steve Martorano, whose origin story has roots in the hoagies he reportedly sold out of his mother’s basement. He opened Cafe Martorano in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in 1991 and, on the strength of its popularity, a spot at the Rio in 2007. Early on it was a celebrity magnet for its Sunday gravy, renowned meatballs and live music. The Paris location opened in 2014, with the Rio one closing in 2015.
