With a warm and inviting atmosphere, Sapore is the perfect destination for date nights, classy-casual dinners and celebrations, bringing people together over delicious Italian food, wine and signature dishes.

Combined with a winning night on the gaming floor and the lush accommodations of Riversuites at The Battery — friends and foodies can turn dinner out into a weekend getaway.

Sapore, the Taste and Flavor of Italy

At Sapore, the menu blends traditional comfort with modern culinary creativity, showcasing a selection of both classic and baked pasta. Each dish stands out from rigatoni alla vodka to savory lasagna layered with perfectly tender sheets of pasta to slow-simmered Bolognese, delivering deep flavors in every bite.

For those seeking meatier entrées, Sapore’s cuts section offers an array of premium selections such as a succulent, flavorful USDA prime filet mignon and beautifully charred New York strip steak, both prepared uniquely and seasoned to perfection. Signature dishes like the bold and inventive chicken parm pizza offer a fresh spin on a beloved classic, while seafood lovers can enjoy the fresh, simply prepared, and delectable branzino.

For dessert, the cream puff tower is earning rave reviews. This stunning treat is finished tableside with chocolate sauce, crème anglaise and a dusting of powdered sugar.

To complement the menu, Sapore’s stylish cocktails feature expertly crafted drinks — from an artful espresso martini to classic negronis, plus an Italian margarita with Aperol and more — perfect for happy hour or pairing with any meal. With rotating seasonal specialties, guests can always look forward to something fresh and exciting.

“Sapore is all about creating a familiar, cheerful atmosphere where people can enjoy delicious Italian food, wine and cocktails in great company,” said Susan Foster, general manager of Rivers Casino Philadelphia. “We want our guests to feel at home while indulging in a meal that’s both classic and comforting.”

Philly’s Most Luscious Limoncello Lineup

Sapore is now home to Philly’s most robust limoncello menu, featuring every limoncello brand available from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. After savoring a rich and flavorful Italian meal, guests can top off their evening with a glass of traditional Italian lemon liqueur.

With a distinctive tableside presentation, Sapore proudly — and cordially — stocks every retail limoncello available in the Commonwealth, including Villa Massa, Pallini, Pezone and Caravella. This sweet, citrus-infused liqueur, with its velvety-smooth texture and vibrant lemon essence, is the perfect finale to an unforgettable dining experience.
