Went here with wife and two kids. This is an Italian restaurant, but make no mistake it is a genuine American experience. ...

The food was amazing. The portions were very generous. Very authentic Italian food! And the staff was great. We ate at the bar because the restaurant was very busy, but we didnt feel rushed or crowded. We will definitely be going back again... soon!

Ralphies is a local favorite. It is one of the best Italian restaurants anywhere near Salem NH. The place is small, so expect to wait during busy peak times. But its well worth the wait. Ralphies serves authentic Italian food and BIG portions! Very nice cozy atmosphere and service is always great. Highly recommended.

Chicken parm was good, portion is huge, free bread is offered as well. Service was great, food came quickly. I like that they have angel hair as an option for pasta. Too many places now only have linguini for long pasta, and those are places I avoid at all costs. I will definitely be back sometime in the future

Excellent!! It was busy and full, but we got seated right away at lunch time today, Sat. Chicken Broccoli and Penne, Mac n Cheese bites, and Chicken Parm were all so tasty and huge portions. Our servicer was very nice and attentive.
