Martorano's Prime Philadelphia

If you want great service, go to Martorano’s! Our server, Mikhail, was knowledgeable, patient, offered suggestions and answered any questions. The food was great and tasty as well. The atmosphere is warm, romantic, and inviting, perfect for celebrating our anniversary. The only thing I would change is the volume of the music because it was hard to have a conversation. I think they may have the volume up because the restaurant has to compete with the volume of the casino so I get it. The drinks were also wonderful!

This is a very nice restaurant, with modern, chill vibes. It's known for the steaks. However, I refrained this time around as I wasn't paying 😁 I did have the meatball salad and the iceberg wedge, which were both quite delicious and filling. We moved into the bar area and kept the party going. With the live dj and drinks, this place can't be beat.

5 stars from when we walked in the door to when we left. Really exceptional service, easy parking, beautiful, fancy and relaxed atmosphere and the dishes were so so delicious. We went for a 1st date, definitely going back and yes there will be a second date. Ty Martorano's for adding such a great experience to an exciting night. 💝

The Service, Food, Music and Atmosphere was Amazing, The Women were dressed to Kill. If you’re an Athlete and play for any Professional Sports Team in Philadelphia this is the place to go for Beautiful young Ladies. Hang at the Bar or Relax on the Comfortable couches and enjoy the sites. This Restaurant will put Rivers Casino on the map!!!!

Food and Service were top notch. The DJ was top tier! This place is 5 star and you actually forget that you are inside of a casino. The restaurant had better service and food than some stand alone restaurants I have been to. Will be indulging into this experience again.

Drive a hour and a half to get here and the food was very disappointing and the worse service for a prime steak house brought the steak out waited 15 minutes for plates forgot half my order I asked for a lobster tail and brought some something out. Look like vomit. Steak was that cold there’s butter on top that didn’t even melt

I finally got to try Martorano's Prime at Rivers Casino and it's a real hidden gem. As you can see these portions are generous, these servings are🔥 Top tier service, great options, and reasonably priced.

South Philadelphia native Steve Martorano, a celebrated chef, has launched Martorano's Prime at Rivers Casino Philadelphia, combining his signature pasta dishes with a selection of premium steaks. His portfolio of acclaimed restaurants also includes Cafe Martorano's in Fort Lauderdale and Las Vegas. Martorano is recognized as the 'Godfather of Italian-American cooking' for his culinary prowess.

"Don't bust my Balls Cuzzz" is Steve Martoranos famous motto here! Well actually at all his restaurants! That means he doesn't do substitutions. The menu is "what you see is what you get" type deal. I'm good with that. And it's definitely good information to know before you go for a meal here. I've been following Cuzz for several years now and my husband even got me his cookbook for a Mother's Day gift. Also years ago. We came all the way from California to PA for many special and very recent events. That included a weeding, a Phillies/Dodgers game, and for our 25 wedding anniversary celebration! Since we were planning our months' events all around each other...& we found out that we COULD actually go to his restaurant finally! It's been on my bucket list for a long time now! Markus, Sal and Nick were impeccable at their jobs and were very diligent in serving us two for our 25th anniversary dinner here. The hostess was super sweet too. She even helped me with the "Yo Cuz" merch after our dinner. The food we ordered was delicious & we had no complaints about anything. I highly recommend in getting the fresh mozzarella because it's the bomb! The tables were all white table clothed and the restaurant had a very nice romantic ambiance about it. They even had a movie streaming throughout the restaurant. Albeit it was on silent and other music was streaming in the background. It's located in the Rivers casino and it seems to be a staple for both the locals and travelers alike. Next time we'll visit the Lauderdale location. For Sure! "Yo Cuzzz who don't wanna be Italian!?!"

Upscale Italian at its finest! Everything on the menu is made to order & perfection! The servers are exceptional & will help you thru the menu! I highly recommend the homemade meatball salad to start & carbonara! Of course you can never go wrong with the bone in veal parmigiana! Lastly, cap of the night with one of the specialty desert martinis!

This place is AWESOME! Can't believe the bad reviews!!! Most have to do with price though. If you enjoy an upscale experience, with fabulous food, this is your place. Rivers has seen a ton of restaurants in this space and all were mediocre. This is an excellent addition! Everything I had was fresh and delicious. I'm obsessed with the meatball salad and pistachio cake. If you are at the casino or in the area, don't walk, run to this place! Prices are def not for the faint of heart, but if you enjoy upscale dining, EAT HERE!

Another great meal at Martorano's Prime! Two of us dined Sunday April 7th 2024. We shared 4 Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail for an Appetizer. The shrimp were huge and very fresh. My entree was the 16oz NY Strip Steak. FANTASTIC! I always get mine Pittsburgh Rare and they nailed it. My friend ordered the Spaghetti Fra Diavolo. It was amazing! For a tasty Martini I recommend the "Simply Red" although they go down real easy! Our server Brandy was very attentive and had full knowledge of the entire menu. Room Manager Nick stopped over at our table to make sure everything was to our liking! I highly recommend! YO CUZ!

Ambiance: 5 Service: 5 Food/Value: 2 At first glance, the white linen cloths, small table lamps, and crisply-attired waitstaff present a fine setting and ambiance-- but the illusion upstaged the food. Instead of a small basket of bread, we were served only 1 slice-- sourdough OR multi-grain. Yet, for a $$$ menu, why skimp on the bread?! I expect that a $68 pasta entree (Diavolo) will entice me to eat every bite, or at least take the leftovers home. I did neither. Sadly, the most exciting part of my fried calamari was reading the menu blurb. My partner's Scampi was tasty, but his soggy lettuce salad missed the mark. Apparently, Martorano's gives a high-priced designer image but serves a clearance-item cuisine. On a more positive note, our waiters, Salvatore and Aniyah, were both very personable and attentive. The meal (2 appetizers, 2 entrees, one $18 cocktail and a beverage) cost $197; $240 with tip. For coffee and dessert, we walked next door to Dunkin' Donuts. There, we spent $8.10 and weren't disappointed. Given the quality of food we tasted, I can attest that this Martorano's is poised to rival any 24-hr diner. IHOP better watch out!

Service was terrible. I felt like I was viewed as not being classy enough to leave a good tip. But the service was careless and sucked. The steak was very average for price. You should get some decent melt for that kinda money. The "imported" pasta didn't seem much better than something you could buy in the grocery store. It didn't even taste like handmade pasta. I felt ripped off. I should have yelled "rat!!!". I'm not surprised. Look at the chef that runs the place. Wanna be dj turd. Where's that culinary degree from chef???

Place was empty on a Friday night. Service was good, salad was good but the entree was an overpriced fish dish for $70. Not much taste to it. I would never go here if I had to pay out of pocket

Service was incredibly slow. Food was ok but severely overpriced. Ambiance was nice compared to the FL location.

Recently tried Martorano's for a nice meal. It was excellent. Host was welcoming, our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, the cocktails were perfect and the food was super fresh and tasty. We had the fresh mozzarella appetizer, and the Lobster Francaise and Chicken Parm with fresh Alfredo gnocchi as our entries. Both were incredible. Atmosphere was great with Goodfellas playing on TVs all around us. Really enjoyed it and plan to go back again this week.

Place was beat and you have to walk thru a smokey stale casino to use the bathroom. Food was just ok and they lost credit card finally fpumd and then ran it thru twice. Owner has an attitude as well.

If you love extraordinary Italian cuisine, perfectly prepared prime steaks and chops, and meticulous service, and I mean service like I have never experienced, you must try Martorano's Prime - Philadelphia! From the moment we were greeted to the last sip of the best cappucino that I have ever enjoyed (including my favorite coffee bar in Milan) I was in Heaven. Steve and Marsha Martorano have again outdone themselves with this fine restaurant. I wanted to sample some of their classics, so we started the with the Famous Meatball Salad, the giant beef, pork and veal meatball served alongside the simple, authentic oil and vinegar salad certainly brought me back to Sunday dinner at Grandmom's. Next was the Spaghetti Carbonara - a dish I have longed to try but wanted to have it done the right way. From the perfectly cooked al dente spaghetti to the wonderful egg yolk stirred into the sauce right in front of me, the spectacular guanciale pork (thick style of bacon) and generous addition of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, all made the dish so rich and delicious! There was no slurping this macaroni down. You need to slowly swirl and savor every bite! Then came the amazing Veal Chop Marsala - the thickest chop I have every had, adorned with fontina cheese and an array of sautéed mushrooms, topped with a delicate marsala wine sauce. Ooooh, I can still taste it! Just when I thought I could not manage another bite I could not resist the homemade pistachio layer cake slathered with real buttercream, with a steaming cappuccino. If you are looking for not just great food, but a truly memorable experience, I highly recommend Martorano's Prime. The restaurant is not like any other. The staff is so pleasant and knowledgeable, the movie and music atmosphere is so much fun and the food truly amazing. Buon Appetito!
