    I was excited to try this restaurant but was very disappointed.......the veal special was ICE COLD and rather bland. The house chianti was bad jug wine at best. I do have to say that the server (Barry) was charming and the day's special salad was very good, but overall I was not pleased.

    I have eaten at hundreds of the top restaraunts in the country. At the very top of my list is Ralph's!
    The history, the food, & the wine are all incredible. What I enjoyed the most is the family atmosphere and quality service. I have recommended Ralph's to my closest friends from around the country. I always get a phone call immediatly after telling me how much they loved it. I live 1,473 miles away and when I travel to Philly I never miss a meal at Ralph's.

    I challenge you to try it and let me know what you think!

    Ralph's is excellent, went there over the weekend. (tough to park in the area - so cab it if possible), but worth the trouble for, (what felt like to this Irish guy), "the real south Philly Italian experience". The service was great, the guy who took care of us was very solicitous of my elderly Mom and she loved it as well. I had the Veal parmigian and it was fabulous. Try it out.
