Italian
Ralph’s is a Philly classic—family-owned since 1900 and the oldest Italian restaurant in America still operated by the same family. This is my fovorite place to eat when in Philly. The vibe is old-school and welcoming, with huge portions of traditional Italian-American favorites. The chicken parm, meatballs, and pasta dishes are must-tries, and the red gravy is legendary. Perfect spot for a true taste of Philly’s Italian herita...
Ralph's Italian Restaurant
I HIGHLY recommended South Philly members-only gem—cozy, old-school vibe with incredible pastas, meatballs, and cocktails. Hard to get into, but unforgettable once you’re inside.
Palizzi Social Club
Highly recommended for fresh pasta and authentic Italian dishes in a warm, welcoming setting—perfect for family dinners or date night.
La Casa Pasta Restaurant
I recommended this place especially if you are visiting college or students. It is a college town favorite—rustic Italian dishes, wood-fired pizza, and a laid-back vibe perfect for locals and visitors
Taverna Rustic Italian Wilmington
I recommend this place if you are looking for a new experience in dining. They offer a a “walking menu." If you don't see anything you want to try on the written menu, you can have the Executive Chef come over and create a dish just for your own personal dining pleasure. Amazing!
Vincente's Restaurant
Latin
Hands down, best Spanish food in Philly
Amada Philadelphia
Steakhouse
