About this business
Others may claim it, but Ralph's is the oldest family-owned Italian restaurant in the country. Four generations of the same family have owned and operated this South Philadelphia restaurant since its inception in 1900. One hundred years later, they work as hard as Francesco Dispigno and his son Ralph to maintain the tradition that has been built for a century. Everything is made to order with the finest ingredients used in recipes that have been passed down from one generation to another. Room available for parties up for 60... read more

one of the best in the country Ralph's is the oldest italian restaurant in the country, and when you walk in it has the old feeling decor. The tables are real close, don't be surprised if your elbows hit the guy next to you. The food is superb and rather quick, reservations are needed on the weekends. Make sure you get the meatballs added as a side, extremely good! PROS: food, italian decor, CONS: tables are really close not a lot of privacy
Always a treat - Ralph's Italian Restaurant Ralph's truly offers some of the most delicious Italian fare in Philadelphia. The atmosphere is authentic if not elegant, as this is a fourth generation family owned restaurant located in what essentially is a row-home. The staff is always pleasant and professional, which adds to its charm and appeal. Cash only.
Italian Great Italian food along with a great atmosphere. A nice place to go to make a evening special. The waiters are top notch and very accomadating to your needs.
A Philadelphia Institution I have been going to Ralph's since I was a child. The food is authentic and delicious. The wait staff is friendly and usually fun. The place is very small so you must sit quite close to the next table, and the wait for a table can be very long. Also, parking in the area (South Philly) can be tough. However, I will overlook any negatives for one bite of their Chicken Sorrento.
really great place for authentic Italian food Ralphs Italian Restaurant is a really great place for authentic Italian food. They have a huge variety of dishes, including salad, seafood, ravioli, gnocchis, seafood, veal, steaks, and chicken. Their ravioli is the best around. They have many different sauces you can pick from, including red, white, and oil sauces. Their appetizer selection is excellent. The prices are all very reasonable. The servers are all very friendly and give great service.
Live in NYC now, grew up in Philly. Recently went back for the first time in years, and it was better than ever. They seem to have caught up on the times a bit with their new specials, but it's as classic as ever. Best Italian food in Philly or NYC hands down.
Lousy, Don't waste you time or money – Bland tomato sauce, water soaked poorly drained pasta, boring uninspired menu. I don't know why this place is considered an "institution". I could make better spaghetti sauce at home - and I do.
BEST VEAL AND ARTICHOKES SINCE MY GRANDMOTHER! – Since Ralphs added Valet parking and made it easier to enjoy a fantastic dining experience, I feel more people need to try REAL italian food and stay away from &^%$#% holes like the Spaghetti Factory etc.....My girlfriend and I would walk to Ralphs from Jersey to be treated like a king and thats just what they do...
Can you Say MEATBALLS!!!! – I love this place -- they have the best Italian Food in South Philly! I was there the other night to celebrate my mom's 65 bday and it was just great!! The pasta was soo good and the meatballs were as good as my mom's!! The food, the service and the people couldn't have been better!! We all had the best time!!! The is the real deal!!!
