Several people told us that going to the Italian Market area for dinner wasn't worth it but we thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Ralph's. Service was fine and the food was very good. It was exactly what we were hoping for. more

Overrated. Olive Garden is just as good as Ralph's. I don't know why people rave about this place. more

Very small restaurant, you are pretty much sitting next to everyone that is dining there. But the food makes up for it. It has a very italian feel and a decent wine list. more

A good old-fashioned family-owned Italian restaurant down near the Italian Market. I've heard it's the oldest Italian restaurant in the country, but I wouldn't swear to that. Large portions of southern Italian food in a large, crowded room (this describes both the one downstairs and the one upstairs), but it sort of feels like you're visiting a big Italian family... more

A+. A South Philly classic. The best Italian food I've ever had plus authentic culture/environment. No credit cards. more
