Great service and the BEST garlic Parmesan crispy chicken wings. Really good garlic bread with mozzarella it just needs to be crispier. Unfortunately the clams casino as they were labeled weee stuff clams with a wet stuffing; really disappointed on those but pitchers of beer were just what the two of us needed for our pre-trip dinner!!

This is a very quaint restaurant and bar located on central avenue not far from Colonie Center. The menu includes all types of bar style food dinners and pizza. The bar is on one side and restaurants on the other. The food is very good, reasonably priced and good portions. Like many other restaurants around, there is a staff shortage so the poor waitress worked very hard keeping up. Our KUDOS to Katie for a job well done considering how much she had to deal with. With their late hours, it's a must for late night snacks also

What we had & rating: Garlic bread w/mozzarella - bad - barely tasted the garlic and the cheese wasn't even fully melted. Chicken parm - mid - for the price we kind of expected better, this you can definitely do at home Pizza w/ red sauce & ham - great - 14 bucks for a good size pizza with nice crust and more topping than your typical chain pizza place, A+ Pizza w/ white sauce & ham - mid - I guess the white sauce was supposed to be garlic sauce but it just didn't taste that great, sticking to normal tomato sauce next time Caesar salad- bad - idk what the dressing was but it tasted nothing like normal Caesar dressing which kinda sucked, again this you're better of making and enjoying at home. Tiramisu - good Service was chill at pickup, the lady at the entrance was polite and helped me out bc it said the order didn't go through online but it came in on their end. Idk about ambiance, the restaurant looked nice from what I could see and everyone seemed to have a great time there so take it for what it is. I would come back for the pizza mostly because it's pretty good for what it is and the price is okay. Food & service & stuff all together 4/5 stars is fair, just hope they make the necessary changes to really make the food stand out.

Living in ATL, I always look forward to traveling anywhere in the Tri-State area for authentic Italian. Ralph's didn't disappoint! Definitely more of a mom and pops restaurant from the decor as well as the crowd that seemed to be regulars. I had the cheese ravioli which was delicious! Unfortunately, servings of ravioli are typically small these days (with 6 or 8), and you're left hungry. I'm unsure how many were in my serving, but it was at least 12. I was full and took a To Go box. Both the salad and the warm bread were good as well. My server Charlene was bustling all over the place but managed to get me everything I needed promptly. Great service. I highly recommend this spot!

Go to Ralph's whenever we are out in Albany. Establishment is not very fancy and has a very homey feel. Looks like it was updated on the inside since the last time we visited. Great place for a quick bite. Went at lunch and had two sandwiches portions as always were very large. Wasn't as happy with my choose as the meat was dry but they do have so many other delicious options as I have tried many of them. Service is always good and ample parking. Food is reasonably priced and if you are not wanting some place fussy this is the place to come.
