In 2011, real estate developer Mark Sherman teamed up with renowned chef, Arthur Cavaliere, to unveil a one-of-a-kind culinary experience Philadelphia had yet to encounter. With their strong trust and loyalty to each other, they created what has become one of the most unique and celebrated restaurants in all of the tri-state area. Inspired by its location along the banks of the Schuylkill River, In Riva (meaning, “along the banks” in Italian) was born. Since then, Mark and Arthur have also become co-owners of In Riva’s sister restaurants, Foghorn & Fletcher and The Black Squirrel Pub and Haunt, and their success together promises to bring many more exciting culinary ventures to life in the future.
