A New Italian Restaurant with Washington State Roots Brings Live Jazz to Spring Valley | Eater Vegas

"Run by the Mercini family from Washington, this forthcoming Spring Valley restaurant will bring their spin on a family-style Italian dining experience—inspired by their Kirkland and Everett locations—to a corner storefront at Durango Drive and Rochelle Avenue. Aiming to be the neighborhood’s only full-service Italian concept, the venue will seat about 75 diners with bar seating and a small patio, feature live entertainment (jazz bands, piano players, and singers), and emphasize authentic Italian cuisine and imported Italian wines. The project is still progressing through the planning-department process, tentative hours have been proposed (generally 3–9 p.m. daily, 11 a.m.–11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 9 p.m. closing on Sundays), and no estimated opening date has been announced." - Bradley Martin
