The chefs at Ralph’s, the second Italian restaurant established in the United States and a Philadelphia Magazine Best of Philly hall-of-famer, fold together pasta, rich sauces, and traditionally-prepared proteins to place upon the 111-year-old restaurant's hearty menu. The prix fixe dinner—designed exclusively for today’s Groupon—starts with a helping of bruschetta, crunchy bread topped with fresh basil and plum tomatoes. A choice of ravioli, fettuccini alfredo, or garlic-and-oil-drenched spaghetti warms up stomachs before entrees of veal or eggplant parmigiana, chicken sorrento, or flounder française compete in for a chance to serenade tables.

Each item on the prix fixe is also available on Ralph’s full menu, which delves into Italian cuisine’s library of deep cuts with dishes such as chicken liver and mushrooms ($13.95) or broiled sausage with broccoli rabe ($16.95). Linger with a libation, such as a bottle of the chianti Ruffino ($24), whose smooth flavors often lead customers to reminisce about their days as an amateur grape massager.
