PHILADELPHIA — April 23, 2024 — South Philly’s very own celebrity cook extraordinaire, Steve Martorano, rolls out the red carpet at his iconic restaurant, Martorano’s Prime, for his spring homecoming celebration inside Rivers Casino in Fishtown.

Martorano’s Prime will feature his world-famous meatballs, elevated Italian macaroni and prime ribeye steak, along with live music, for a unique “dinner and a show” event on Saturday, May 18, at 6:30 p.m.

“You’re invited to a night of fine dining, live entertainment and dancing,” said Martorano. “Pretty Poison performing their hits at Martorano’s Prime will make for a great homecoming party — an upbeat, upscale, uniquely Philly experience.”

After a four-course meal that includes classic caserecce macaroni, prime ribeye cap steak, Martorano’s Meatball, broccoli rabe, a prosecco toast and more, guests will enjoy performances by France Joli and Pretty Poison featuring Jade Starling.

“As it does every weekend, Martorano’s Prime will transform from restaurant to nightclub, and this will be a night to remember,” said Eric Althaus, general manager of Rivers Casino Philadelphia. “Steve’s homecoming celebration will feature a great menu followed by dancing. It will be a high-energy party for groups, couples or singles to enjoy.”

Available reservations include tables for up to six people and VIP booths for up to five, plus single tickets for bar-top dining; all guests must be 21 or older to attend.

Steve’s Spring Homecoming Celebration Menu

Antipasti al cucchiaio and a toast of Benvolio Italia Prosecco precede the following four-course meal:

• First course: trio of mozzarella carrozza with roasted red pepper, arancini and Famous Meatball

After Dinner — Live Performances

After enjoying authentic Italian American dining, guests will be transported to the 1970s and ’80s with the familiar sounds of disco and pop music performed by:

Jade Starling is best known as the lead vocalist for Philadelphia-based Pretty Poison, which rose to prominence in the late 1980s. Their hit single “Catch Me (I’m Falling)” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1987 and also achieved significant success on the pop charts.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Pretty Poison’s Billboard top-20 dance hit, “Nighttime.” After Pretty Poison, Starling pursued a solo career and released several solo albums and singles.

France Joli is best known for her disco classic “Come to Me,” which peaked at number one on the Billboard Dance chart in 1979 when she was 16 years old.

She followed that with the single “Gonna Get Over You,” which reached No. 2 on the dance charts.

 Though she is best known for her disco tracks, Joli has continued to perform and release music across various genres throughout her career.

Martorano’s Prime is the acclaimed cook’s first Philadelphia signature restaurant in over 30 years; it fuses the founder’s renowned Italian American menu with high-end steakhouse staples.
