Caffe Torino in the Foothills is slated to open the first week of June, to be located at 5605 E. River Road Suite #121.
This is the previous location of Rick’s Café that closed back in January.
This will also be the second location for the owners of Caffe Torino, the first being at 10325 North La Canada Drive in Oro Valley. From what I was told on the phone the menu will be close to the same at both locations. For a sneak peek at the menu go to www.caffetorinoorovalley.com.

I spend a lot more time at Caffe Torino with clients for breakfast and/or lunch with friends and family. There are always good – and even though I go less often for dinner, it will be nice to have them have a bigger potential clientele in the foothills. Good food, definitely.
Here’s what I found on my “first” visit 6/21/ Happy Hour 4.30 pm , nice looking place ,about 15 people most at the bar , staff was so what friendly ,I was setting by myself but the waiter was talking with a man at a other table for a “very long time ” there were “only” two of us but that other table was it , ( forget about me ) , then some “very very dry bread ” come with nothing to help it , menu looked ok “nothing new “, prices are high , “slow” service , long wait 15/20 min. or so for a cold uncooked salad , for $10.00 size was small on a small plate , no dressing on the greens , so now I have some “more DRY ” stuff 🙁
Good luck !
