La Fornacella In Ercolano

We stopped for lunch by chance after visiting the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum, it was a great surprise. Very good pizza, my dad had the Neapolitan soup, a delicious dish of vegetables and meat, my mum had the scialatielli with fried aubergines and salted ricotta, really excellent. Very good coffee. Friendly and helpful staff despite it being close to closing time.

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. With the primo you can't go wrong with anything seafood, there selection is super fresh and everything is cooked upon request so bear in mind the waiting times. We also tried the pizza, which was as usual here, very simple but full of flavors. Their tiramisu is top notch, too and the waitresses are very kind and helpful explaining dishes and lending the place a welcoming atmosphere. We shared most of our dishes to try more flavors as both of us really love Italian cuisine. Without question they already served us the antipasto with two plates, the pizza cut in half, the tiramisu with two spoons. This attentive service paired with stellar food really makes the place stand out, so instead of wasting time in other restaurants with half as good food and grumpy service, give this place a try and you won't be disappointed.

Excellent pizza, very friendly staff, super clean environment.

Delicious pizzas, friendly and courteous staff attentive to customer needs. Clean and family environment.

A very nice pub, located at the roundabout in the immediate vicinity of the Ercolano Scavi train station. The food is delicious, I ate the Napolitana pizza, but the real, delicious bomb is the crocchette di patate and suppli made and sold there.

The site is close to the train station, so there is no loss. It is a cozy place and the staff is very pleasant and correct. We ordered the Octopus Luciana and apart from having a very good point, it was very delicious. Then some spaghetti with clams and a pizza (now I don't know if it was ham and mushrooms). All with very good flavor and a correct portion.

Very good value for money for a lunch.

Beautiful restaurant in Ecorlano. Wish we had found it sooner as definitely the nicer restaurant in the area compared to others. Staff were so welcoming and great with recommendations. Look out for Rita! She was always above and beyond but truly can’t fault any of the staff here. Definitely recommend you go here for a bite to eat or a few drinks in the evening you won’t be disappointed

We visited the restaurant late at lunchtime (less than an hour before closing time) and received excellent service. The food was freshly and quickly prepared and was very tasty. Staying on the terrace was very pleasant due to the renovations and was protected from the sun and traffic. If you want you can also eat in the restaurant. Very practical for us tourists: the menu was also in English. We can only recommend La Fornacella to everyone!

Went there for lunch after exploring Ercolano site. Quick service, had a pizza Diavolla, it was pretty good value for money. Not a tourist trap, locals were coming in to order as well
