La Fornacella — Restaurant in Ercolano

Writing this review to make sure no one passes on La Fornacellla, absolutely the best food we had in Ercolano.

We went to this place yesterday and left so satisfied with the food and service. Highly recommend the polpo alla luciana, a neapolitan delicacy for antipasto.

The owner took our order and came back and said 10 euros for two glasses or 12 for the whole bottle. Not many people would do that, because if we ordered more glasses after the first, thats more money. Great food and...

This little restaurant is a total delight. I had a perfectly grilled fillet of fish with grilled vegetables, served beautifully. The house red wine (I happen to like red wine with everything) was smooth, full-bodied and characterful. Service was very attentive and, as a solo female diner, I felt quite spoilt. The price was about ten euro less than a similar meal in Naples. I highly recommend this restaurant - it's quite close to the Scavi rail station and easy to miss on your way up to the site, so do...
