Ristorante Mezzaluna In Ercolano

09/10/2025: At just 28 years old, Frank Cavaliere is making a name for himself as one of the most exciting emerging pizza chefs in the Phlegraean Fields. His pizza is a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, a dough that speaks of passion and knowledge of the ingredients. The one pictured is a Margherita made with the direct melt-in-the-mouth method, where every detail speaks of care and sensitivity: a well-aired and slightly speckled crust, a sign of impeccable cooking in a wood-fired oven, and a soft yet firm base that accommodates tomato, mozzarella, and fresh basil. A drizzle of olive oil and a light sprinkling of pepper enhance the aromas and flavors. The dough is light, aromatic, and digestible, with that melt-in-the-mouth feel that only those who truly understand timing and temperatures can achieve. Frank is a curious and meticulous pizza chef, experimenting with flours and hydration methods without ever straying from the authentic soul of Neapolitan pizza. You can find his creations at Fab&Fud in Pozzuoli, where every Frank Cavaliere pizza becomes a little tale of flavor and local tradition. A name to remember, because the future of Phlegraean pizza has already found one of its protagonists. 🍕🔥

22/09/2025: The place is very nice, but I can't give a very honest review of the food, as we only had a tagliata... but it wasn't satisfying. The cooking wasn't as expected, and the fat was too predominant. A lemon crisp and a tagliata cost €38... well, really! We'll be back to try more.
