Ralph's Italian Restaurant Philadelphia Reviews
This is the oldest Italian restaurant in the US! It is old
This is the oldest Italian restaurant in the US! It is old school stick to your ribs amazing. Cash only if you know what I'm saying! Next time you're in Philly you gotta stop by. Over 100 years old and 4 generations means something!
This place definitely relies on their history.
The calamari was fishy and overcooked. Small portion for $22! Meatballs were bland and kids pasta $27! Way overpriced and food was mediocre. I had high hopes. Also sitting next to cleaning supplies and rags didn't help. I'd recommend
With an original tile floor and handsome woodwork, historical ambiance enhances the delicious food and full bar (an espresso martini recommended) at Philadelphia's oldest Italian restaurant. Be prepared to spend time surveying the extensive men

A short distance away from the office, this Italian restaurant was just the perfect choice for a team dinner. The restaurant has a 125 year history and has serviced some of the very well known celebrities of the country including Tylor Swift and Fra

Consistent great service and spectacular food.
Great place to catch up with old friends, family or business associates. Never disappoints!
The best this side of Italy
Definitely lives up to the reputation— adorable atmosphere and food is the best this side of Italy. I had chicken parm and tiramisu and it was delicious— service is fantastic.
Mixed feelings
I got the chicken marsala, which was very good, but had to pay extra for pasta, which I am not used to. I did like that our food was brought out by another server, but we were almost finished our meal before anyone came to check on us. Valet parking
Great couples dinner.
Service was great. Bruschetta was fantastic. Veal Piccata very tender and ton of flavor. Wife had ravioli with meatballs. Meatball was also tender and not over packed.
A yearly visit
Been going to Ralph's once year for 10 years,food and service always great.Wife had traditional spaghetti and meatballs and loved it.I had braciole and was a little disappointed as in a little braciole. Didn't think it was a substantial
Great little surprise I'll not soon forget
This little Italian Resturant remind me of the Godfather movie: small, quiet place, clean yet old. Yet food was outstanding. Service great. I love this place.
Old World Philadelphia with a Twist
Ralph’s is the oldest Italian restaurant in the United States for a reason. We reserved a table for 7 earlier in the day. We were greeted at the door and were shown to our table immediately. The server took our order of appetizers that consisted to
This place deserves a higher rating because I thought it
This place deserves a higher rating because I thought it was absolutely fantastic. I am still dreaming about the veal saltimbocca and can't wait to go again. We went for my boyfriend's birthday with his mom and we got the caprese salad and meatball
So loud
This could be the loudest restaurant with the slowest service I have ever experienced in my life. The upstairs is louder than an AC/DC concert.
The food was okay.
I got a vodka sauce with panchetta and added chicken to it. The pasta, sauce, and panchetta were good but the chicken had a weird off flavor. I'm not sure how to describe it other than it tasted burnt and maybe really old. I know I'm not the only one
So amazing.
We had great service even for our larger party of 20+ people. They sat us back to back at two large tables on the third level. The food was so delicious, however; unless you order off of the specials menu, the entrees do not come with pasta or a side
Excellent dinner at one of the oldest Italian restaurants
Excellent dinner at one of the oldest Italian restaurants in Philadelphia!! Ralph's served up INCREDIBLE dishes a few weeks ago and I'm already ready to go back! 1. Spinach Gnocchi in a creamy garlic sauce with crumbled Italian sausage and sundried
Oldest Italian restaurant in the US! Quaint, small dining
Oldest Italian restaurant in the US! Quaint, small dining room downstairs (I believe the upstairs is bigger), but we still had plenty of space for a party of 5 for dinner. Their famous meatball appetizer was amazing! Mussels in white wine garlic

We went here for the first time on our most recent trip to celebrate my fiancée's birthday. Heard about this place for awhile and the experience lived up to the hype. Place was packed. We loved it. Best Meatball and Chicken Parm you could ever get.
I've always wanted to go to Ralph's.
My expectations were high. They did not disappoint. Very quaint south Philly atmosphere. Great food. Even better service. Prices are extremely fair. Great neighborhood. We'll definitely be back. Took 25 mins to get to from South Jersey.
The place is great.
Had some of the best mussels and spicy red sauce I've ever had. The house chianti was amazing and I don't normally love chianti. The food was mostly a HUGE hit with our party, especially the veal and meatballs. Homemade mozzarella and the ricotta and

Worst tiramisu ever! They could top it only by serving it in the box it came in. I understand that restaurants are not doing well and they need the business but it was the first time I was dining at Ralph's. My wife praised the restaurant from

Such a cute casual yet intimate restaurant! It really gives the old Italian restaurant feel which I loved. Downstairs has few tables and I believe the upstairs is a bigger space. Service and food were both great! I recommend the meatballs and escarol
Meh. Famous chicken parm was room temperature to the point
Meh. Famous chicken parm was room temperature to the point where the cheese lifted away from the meat. Tough chicken, which halfway through realized it was veal. Noisy, tight squeeze. There's way better in the city. All hype.
Food was great, little pricey.
Service was pretty good, although we didn't get any bread ;( Ambiance is lacking. I would expect some sort of music at least, but we just ate in silence. Would still recommend! 4/5.

Delightful
Ralph’s South Philly, oldest Italian restaurant in the United States. Located in the heart of the city, this Italian restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience that captures the essence of Italy. From traditional pasta dishes to mouth-wate
Tremendous old world Italian
Was invited to dinner here by some colleagues, the company was tremendous and the food was even better! We shared some delicious appetizers, the meatballs the calamari the delicious Italian bread and then the entrée, great service phenomenal food
Unenjoyably LOUD!
Old school Philly restaurant that is somewhat run down, decor and furnishings are worn (which is part of the South Philly charm), bathrooms are old and downright dirty. The volume in this place is nearly unbearable. Absolutely impossible to hold a
Nice experience at the oldest Italian restraunt in Philly.
Great service. Reservations made and table was available on time. Friendly staff and very efficient. Everyone loved there meal.
Wonderful dining experience
We were invited here by a local, we are from out of town. We had reservations for 3, which were honored on time and we were seated immediately. This is not a super fancy place, but it runs like a well oiled machine; no surprise it has been around s
Delicious memories
Dinners at Ralph's and other South Philly restaurants when in college a few decades ago were special events. I was fortunate enough to take my 14 y.o. there on a Philly visit. We didn't have a lot--but the bread, the ravioli and the chocolate gelato
I was very curious
I often go to old restaurants. It’s a weird quirk but it brought me to Ralph’s which is the oldest Italian restaurant in Philly. I liked the place. The staff was friendly and efficient. The customers were a mix of tourists and locals, mostl
Old Restaurant with the goods to back it up!
Been dining here since I was a kid! And you know what? NEVER had anything but great food, a comfortable atmosphere, and service professionals. I mean they've never missed - not once. So.
Must Eat in Philly
If you want the South Philly Italian experience this is the place to go. It claims to be America’s oldest Italian restaurant. Let’s just say the food is amazing. Our group had spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna and many other traditional Italian fo

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Ralph's Italian Restaurant Philadelphia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Ralph's Italian Restaurant Philadelphia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at Ralph's Italian Restaurant Philadelphia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Ralph's Italian Restaurant Philadelphia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
