MAGGIANO'S LITTLE ITALY REVIEWS

The food & atmosphere was amazing. Our waitress Crista was awesome she explained the specials & gave us plenty of time to view the menu before placing our orders. Once our food came out she came back to make sure we not only got what we ordered, but that it tasted well & to a see if we needed anything else. For our dessert we ordered the lemons cookies & as always they were amazing. This is definitely one place I like to eat at when I'm in Philly. Lastly, some other amazing things they do is that they support our military & give military discounts & validate parking.

This was the greatest first Date of my life. I remember the day I took my sweetheart there. The memories will last forever. The service was amazing and the food has always been top tier. I will always enjoy coming back here and I highly recommend it. Can’t wait to go back and recreate this memory again with my dream girl again.

Unforgettable Italian dining experience! Delicious food, exceptional staff, and warm hospitality. We lingered over conversation and were surprised with a complimentary Italian dessert. Highly recommended for authentic Italian cuisine and outstanding service!.

RALPH'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT REVIEWS

When you imagine old school classic Italian, this is what your mind pictures. Wow. Amazing food. Yes...they are the best meatballs in Philly or anywhere. Hands down the best veal parm I've ever had. Everyone else with me loved it too.

Ralph’s is the BEST! The fettuccine Alfredo is so fresh, and it is the closest fettuccine I have had to the restaurant in Italy that created fettuccini Alfredo. The chicken parm is also phenomenal. Our group really enjoyed the meatballs and Caesar salad to start, as well as the fresh bread they give.

The food was fantastic. might be the best Italian food I've ever, had including my grandmother's. The only thing better than the food was the service. The staff was amazing. Thank you for a great night.

OSTERIA REVIEWS

Sunday happy hour ( well any day HH for that matter ) at Osteria is outstanding! Best happy hour in Philly. Happy Hour menu is fabulous (rigatoni, tartare, broccolini )! Literally, can not go wrong ordering (do yourself a favor and get a pasta off the main menu as well). Cocktail menu doesn’t take a back seat to the food, ,and Proteus and Jose are great bartenders.

We went for Sunday Happy Hour. Yes, there are places that have HH on Sunday. The food was delicious and plentiful. The drinks were marvelous. My Paloma could have had less ice though. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

Absolutely delicious. Went for an event and got a private space; it was great, highly recommend. Especially love their focaccia bread.
