Vasceria Locanda Popolare — Restaurant in Naples

If only I could write without giving a star..

After waiting for 15mins before the only waiter who was barking at the servers and gesturing a lot came to our table, informed us an item under Appertisers was sold out and recommended another that was twice the price (after I asked). For the red wine we ordered, one glass looked like it was not washed properly or the server had a very shaky hand. The same Ragu sauce seems to have been poured over aubergine, meatballs and pasta in 3 different categories. If the sauce was trully handed over generations, maybe somewhere along the line the recipe was sold to Campbell or the owner of Ragu. When we asked for the bread the waiter nonchalantly put a bag down: bread inside was hard and consisted of varying thickness...what am I saying? They were cut at different times by different people?

Photos? Didnt think of taking any until i saw what fried codfish with creamed peppers meant... For Eur 14 you get 3 chunks of salty fried cod fish and some puree

In the meantime, the waiter is barking at the servers, talking loudly to customers...my headache is...

This place seems to be a scam. Over 70 reviews and rating 5.0 - probably only friends & family rating. The place was empty around 7pm, this could have been a red light. We came in, they nicely turned on the gas heating for us and we ordered 2 glasses of local white overpriced (6€/glass) wine - do not attempt - and Napolitan ragu and Manfredi with ricotta. The second was ok - regular 3-4* meal... BUT the Napolitan thing that was supposed to be meaty ragou with a piece of meat was just simple tomato sauce (super sour and salty) and with piece of pork sausage on top - why???!! I was really hungry, so I ate most of it, but please choose a different place. Life is too short to eat poorly, let alone in Naples!!!! PS: During the dinner, no one came in except three members of Polizia Municipali to check the restaurant's paperwork. I wonder if they also tried the nonworking toilets... 🤷‍♂️ well... too...

I wouldn’t even give this place one star. I am vegetarian and my partner isn’t he ordered the ragu which came with no meat. I ordered the cheese and potato pasta which had no meat within the description. When my food arrived it had small bits of bacon in it. My partners was all tomato sauce. When we complained they did nothing about it and just brushed it off, dancing and singing to music and didn’t even try to solve the problem. We decided not to eat and get up and leave due to the disrespect which was fine when speaking to the male waiter. After this occurred the women ran down the street screaming shouting and pushing me and my partner. Grabbing my bag from me. Once I explained through translate she let it go as she knew she had got it wrong. However, I am so disappointed with how she reacted and the fact she assaulted us. I would say stay away from the place as the behaviour...
