Ralph's Italian Restaurant is a gem in South Philly that lives up to its historic reputation as the oldest Italian eatery in America! 🍝
From the delicious mussels in a mildly spicy sauce to the standout meatballs topped with fresh ricotta, my meal was a delightful homage to Italian comfort food. The liveliness of the cozy ambiance makes it a perfect spot for lunch or dinner with friends.
Don’t skip dessert - my tiramisu and cannoli cake were heavenly! The service was top-notch, thanks to our attentive waiter, Jimmy. Just be prepared to wait for a table; it’s worth it! I’ll definitely be back for more! 🌟
