"5 Amazing Old-School Italian Restaurants in Philly: Ralph's Italian Restaurant - What's more old-school than the oldest Italian restaurant in the country? Today the fourth- and fifth-generation owners continue to welcome nostalgic longtime regulars and tourists alike to feast on classics like spaghetti and meatballs."
"It’s being run now by the fourth generation. Jimmy and Eddie Rubino use the same meatball recipe their great grandfather, Francesco, created more than a century ago. Some greatness never fades."
"Noord Chef Joncarl Lachman on Philadelphia's Best Bites: See the meatball, be the meatball: The plethora of old-school red-sauce Italian places here can give visitors a uniquely Philadelphia dining experience. I'm thinking places like Ralph's."
"The menu is quintessentially Italian-American. At lunch, try a selection of the wider dinner menu, which include classics such as spaghetti meatballs. "
"You can’t talk Philadelphia meatballs without mentioning the famous 9th St. Italian Market, and at the heart of the Italian Market is Ralph’s Italian Restaurant. While the menu is rather large, the meatballs are considered a must."
