Our story
Family-run Italian restaurant in Poblenou: Southern Italian cooking
Saverio and Rafi opened Locanda del Vulture in January 2019 on Carrer de Fluvià, wanting a small Italian place for the neighbourhood.
The people behind it
Saverio cooks and brings it to your table
Saverio, chef and owner, comes from southern Italy, near Naples. He wanted home cooking for Poblenou and set it up with Rafi. Fresh pasta is made every day, and for some dishes Saverio comes out of the kitchen and serves them at your table himself. The menu opens with its own section, "Saverio and Rafi's Recommendations", and among the pizzas there is one bearing his name: the Pizza del Chef Saverio.
