In Riva coming this December

Philly native Arthur Cavaliere, who last cooked here as chef de cuisine of Parc (227 S. 18th St.), is taking over the vacated Franco's Trattoria space at 4116 Ridge Avenue for In Riva, an Italian restaurant in partnership with developer Mark Sherman, responsible for the Sherman Mills artists' community, among other East Falls-area holdings. Sherman, a longtime friend of Cavaliere's family, tapped the well-traveled chef (starting with Derek Davis in Manayunk, he's also worked with Jose Garces and Michel Richard) while he was on a consulting gig in Michigan; In Riva, in reference to the restaurant's location along the Schuylkill, will have a Southern Italian focus, with plenty of the menu done in a wood-burning oven. Opening's set for December.
