Ok . I was in Albany 4 days and planned on Ralph’s at least twice. But my people were sick and also time flew by so I only went once unfortunately.
I was going to order what the pictures show and get my Italian dinner on the second visit.
But I ate backwards . We ordered a drink and I also couldn’t wait to have my all time favorite spumoni. So I ordered it with my wine lol.
As you can see this isn’t the spumoni I used to get here all the time. While everything else is being downsized and twice as expensive ( not here!) this was a was a fun surprise !!
I thought I would eat a quarter of it but I ate the whole thing. So exciting!! Sorry to say that was my appetizer, meal and dessert for the evening. Still can’t believe I ate the whole thing.
Plus WOW how could that be $8.95???
That would be 2 times more $$ anywhere else.
I’m coming back this month and will continue my favorite food journey from Ralph’s .
Thank you for staying true to your roots. It’s very important to the community and our memories!

I recently had lunch at Ralph’s, for the first time in many years. It was comforting to see that little had changed. Ralph’s has a welcoming, friendly vibe. Their menu is extensive with enticing choices. My turkey club was a substantial, tasty three decker sandwich. Service was prompt and friendly. Ralph’s remains a reliable restaurant with a steady customer base.

Visited yesterday after a life threatening injury. This is my first statement since the injury. I just had to have my usual lunch again. Everyone was so kind to me. The owner, Rachel, and Jackie showed great concern for me. Like i have said before, if i knew it was my last meal, it would be spaghetti and meat sauce at Ralph’s, a small beer and a diet soda. . Followed by a Ralph’s pizza. Thank you Everyone!…… … I Have always liked the spaghetti and meat sauce . And of course, always have to take a pizza home. I have been back 2 times since my return from Florida. The spaghetti and meat sauce and the pizza is consistently great. My server both times was Rachel. Who is always upbeat, kind, and professional. Thanks Rachel. I always enjoy my time there. I forgot to add that i usually get a glass of beer along with a glass of diet soda. I appreciate that they have 10 ounce glasses as I like a little beer but with the soda and food a pint is too much for me. I get a feeling of peace in some places and it has happened here . Visited again today. Had my usual. Very good, Gosh, I could have the spaghetti, and meat sauce or meatballs every day. Visited again today, the14th of May . Had my usual, spaghetti with meat sauce. Very good!!! Very consistent. The difference today is I did not get a pizza to go . I will again soon. Rachel waited on me again. Always good to see her. Jackie was there this time also. I have not seen her in a while. I guess was the day of the week. She is also a very fine waitress. Was good to see her. Gee.. the more I go ,the longer the review. Went for lunch again yesterday . Jackie was my server and was good to see her again. I passed on the pizza to go again. Tough for me to do but I wanted the spaghetti and meat sauce. I could enjoy it every day. But I do have to try some other things and places. The review gets longer and longer. As the saga continues. Visited again, today, the 4th. Had my usual and it was very good!!! I started eating again before I took the photos. Could not help myself….. I was glad Jackie was there and was my waitress. She is always upbeat and kind. Had to pass on the pizza to go. That can not continue. I am trying to watch my carbs but life is too short. I am fortunate to have written 124 reviews, (with 148,000 photo views, over 200,000 review views) from as far away as Paris, France, and also New Orleans at a small place called, belive it or not, “Mona Lisa’s” and west coast florida. Ralph’s can hold its own with italian dishes. I had great meatballs in New Orleans but no others have been as good as Ralph’s in my humble opinion. Til the next, arrivederci.

I have been going to Ralph since I was little. When they opened and the food was fantastic. They changed a lot of stuff. I ordered boldless wings last night. You couldn’t even eat them cause. They were so hard and then they brought out the chicken parm. Without the bread and I had this really small piece when I seen another plate come by. It was 3 times my size, and the sauce was thicker. Mine was watery, it was terrible. And for the price they charged. That’s insane. We will never be going back there again. And I would recommend people to really try not going there for a while because the food was terrible.

In town for work and I found this place online. The food is amazing. It tastes like authentic home-cooked meals. The stuffed mushrooms were bursting with flavor and the eggplant veal dish was amazing. The service is top-notch; you can tell this is a family-run business. The environment is pretty cool and makes you feel like you are sitting in your own dining room. Sitting here eating, I hear laughs and fun times coming from the bar in the other room. You can tell this is a “regular joint” for many locals. I highly recommend this place for the great food and awesome experience.

I took my 83 year old dad to dinner here tonight. Food was delicious and dad said the old Italian music brought him back to his childhood. Waitress was very happy, nice and fast to bring out our food. Even the busboy was smiling. Tommy stopped over twice to ask how everything was and if we needed anything. He is so friendly and personable. Highly recommend Ralph’s! Thanks for an enjoyable dinner.

Everything about this place thrilled me starting with the host Tom energy was amazing friendly efficient quick then we had Sierra as our server beautiful girl on point efficient Nice and Gavin was a bus boy. He was amazing as well. The whole experience will have me going back again and again we were celebrating a friends 50th birthday. They came out and sang happy birthday to her. I just have to say I will be back again.

I’ve always loved coming here. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is quick but not rushed. The service was top notch as it is every time I come here. The wings truly deserve to have been voted best in Albany several times. Italian classics are prepared the way you like them to be. Beer selection is good and the staff is very friendly.

I grew up going to Ralph’s and have great memories with my grandparents there. Today its not even close to what It was. We ordered food to go and it was absolutely awful. I had the veal sorento with linguine the veal was dried out and had no flavor the eggplant tasted like it was prebattered and frozen. The linguine was so over cooked it turned to mush in my mouth. My wife had the chicken parm which was just a little bit better than the veal. Her linguine was also way over cooked. Im very sad to see such a decline in what was a quality restaurant. Perhaps dine in is the only way to go.

Absolutely phenomenal establishment! The staff here go out of their way to meet, greet and actually take time to have a conversation with you. This restaurant feels like home. There are a lot of regulars here.

Let’s talk about the food…. As the pictures indicate, plating is beautiful! The portions are generous. The flavor is exquisite! Everything was just Perfect.

Rachel was our server. She was very attentive even though she has a lot of tables. We didn’t have to wait or wonder when a drink would be refilled. The remainder of the wait staff hustled and bustled. Tommy and Joe made us feel welcomed and important. We can’t wait to come back! Go Bills! Oh and Josh Allen, Joe says hello 🙂
