Rivers Casino Philadelphia will be the second Martorano’s Prime location after Martorano successfully debuted the Italian-American steakhouse concept at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh in 2021. Gourmet Magazine famously called Martorano’s meatballs “the best meatballs in the world.” Veal Chop Parmesan, Filet Sinatra and Lobster Francaise are among the highlights. Traditional steakhouse fans will savor mouthwatering chops, which are first cut, while the steaks are always prime. Macaroni lovers will enjoy Martorano’s favorite and always popular linguine and clams, bucatini carbonara, his famous meatball with Sunday gravy and Martorano salad, and spicy penne vodka. Martorano’s Prime fuses the celebrity cook’s renowned Italian-American menu with high-end steakhouse staples, elevated in Martorano’s signature style. Fans will enjoy his latest venture along the banks of the Delaware River with iconic views of the Ben Franklin Bridge in 2023. Known as the “Godfather of Italian-American cooking,” the South Philly native has turned home-cooked recipes into a growing portfolio of restaurants. This will be the chef’s first restaurant in his hometown. Steve Martorano, “the most famous cook that nobody knows,” is coming home to Philly with the announcement that Martorano’s Prime is planned for Rivers Casino Philadelphia.
