| - One of my biggest Vegas restaurant regrets is that I didn't make it to the Montesano's Italian restaurant across town before they closed last year. Luckily, they're back in business on my side of town so I can pop by frequently! They took over a bagel shop and upgraded the product and vastly expanded the bakery offerings, adding tons of cookies and cakes. The traditional black and whites are enormous and only $3, while the giant tray of coffee cake is probably going to be my next business breakfast contribution.
My go-to order here is the Nova lox sandwich. At $10, I can customize my bagel (or bialy) and house-made schmear choice without an upcharge. I usually go savory with Everything, Cheddar, or Onion, but always get the scallion cream cheese. Bagels are always notably fresh and have just the right chew, and the lox is portioned well. Even going during peak weekday breakfast hours, they get me in and out and back on the road super quick (and with a smile!), and the portion is enough for breakfast and lunch. I've also tried the pastrami sando, which was super tender (add mustard!), but usually stick to the above. All sandwich orders come with a side and pickle, making more than enough food even if you're ravenous.
