La Vecchia Fornace In Santa croce sull'arno

15/01/2026: We've been 4 times and I had a great time.

22/10/2025: We've been frequenting this restaurant for years, even off-season, as it's one of the very few restaurants in a resort that's open year-round. The atmosphere is simple, but you can dine in the veranda overlooking the sea. Seafood cuisine features many traditional Neapolitan dishes. Last time, we enjoyed the warm seafood appetizer, the mussel soup (impossible not to mop up the sauce), and the seafood scialatielli, always exceptional. Our son dusted off the mixed fried squid, shrimp, and vegetables, crispy and not greasy. On other occasions, we've also enjoyed the pizzas, which I appreciated for their perfect thickness (a thick crust and a shallow center, but not too thin). The desserts are very good (in addition to the usual ones, there's also pastiera, babà, and often sfogliatelle). The service is always quick and friendly, even on busy nights. Competitive prices, excellent value.
