Fodor's Expert Review La Fornacella
$$
Herculaneum (Ercolano)
Southern Italian
Doing a brisk trade with both stranieri and napoletani—always a good sign—this restaurant and pizzeria on the roundabout near the Circumvesuviana station is a 10-minute walk from the excavations of Herculaneum. Dishes vary according to season but always draw on local recipes: pasta e fagioli (with beans) is a winter favorite, and richly garnished schiaffoni (flat tube pasta) with seafood is a summer stalwart. If you're sensitive to traffic noise, avoid sitting at the outside tables.
