Reviewers rave that Locanda Gesù Vecchio’s polpette napoletane are a soulful, must-order triumph, capturing the essence of home-style Neapolitan cooking. The overall vibe is warm, rustic, and deeply comforting, making every bite feel like a heartfelt embrace.
“Ale ordered just protein — the Neapolitan meatballs, beautiful meatballs in sauce with minced veal, pork, other meats, and the sweet touch of raisins and pine nuts. They are delicious, important like the ones grandma makes on Sundays, and I taste the sweetness of the raisins and as you can see there are also pine nuts. This dish is very rich.”

Spaghettiello a Base di Sugna, Pecorino, Pepe e Uovo Fritto
I finally tried one of the few Neapolitan traditional dishes I had never tasted in my life — spaghettiello with sugna, pecorino, pepper, and a fried egg on top. I also note the Neapolitan generosity of the portions. I need to Google the nearest emergency room after finishing this pasta dish. The beauty of poor cuisine is that often the poor ate and eat better than the rich. This is a spectacle. It's basically a cacio e pepe supercharged by the sugna and enriched by the fried egg.
