RALPH’S ITALIAN RESTAURANT – 760 S 9th St, Philadelphia, PA 19147. Ralph’s is the oldest family-owned Italian restaurant in the country. Four generations of the same family have owned and operated this South Philadelphia restaurant since its inception in 1900. One hundred years later, they work as hard as Francesco Dispigno and his son Ralph to maintain the tradition that has been built for a century. Everything is made to order with the finest ingredients used in recipes that have been passed down from one generation to another. “Best of Philly” Meatballs and Ralph’s Famous Parm. Kids portions on request. The evening we dined, we were surrounded by families with kids of all ages. Dinners nightly. Lunch Friday-Sat-Sun. https://www.amazon.com/KIDS-LOVE-PENNSYLVANIA-7th-Kid-Friendly/
