The menu will feature a blend of Martorano’s signature Italian dishes with various steakhouse staples. “I’ve had the pleasure of eating at Steve’s restaurants in other cities, and I’m thrilled to bring that experience home exclusively to Rivers Casino in Philly.” “Martorano’s Prime and Rivers Casino Philadelphia are celebrating a true Philly original,” said Justin Moore, the general manager of Rivers Casino. In addition to Pittsburgh, Martorano operates Cafe Martorano, his original flagship location that’s been in operation for over three decades, in Fort Lauderdale as well as Martorano’s in Atlantic City. Along with presenting cooking demonstrations on shows such as Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Good Morning America, he has served celebrities including Kevin Hart, Jamie Foxx, Shaquille O’Neal, Mario Lopez, Fat Joe and Ludacris. He has since put together a successful career in the restaurant industry. Martorano has been involved in the culinary world for the better part of the last 30 years, originally starting out by making and selling sandwiches out of his mother’s basement.

I can’t wait for everyone to experience our Italian-American steakhouse at Rivers Casino Philly where the macaroni will always be cooked to order.” “Like Rocky, I’m an underdog - a hardworking cook, who’s gone from the ‘sandwich guy’ to a restaurant entrepreneur.

“It’s an honor to return home to Philly where it all began and to share my passion for Italian food in the city I love,” Martorano said in a press release.
