Clams.....we were told in no uncertain terms not to touch any local shellfish, especially mussels, due to the danger of hepatitis. Local produce had to be dipped in water with a little Clorox added. So I never got to try spaghetti alle vongole.
Until Dad got quarters we stayed at the Albergo della Terme Agnano, not far from Solfatara. The dishes on the menu under “Il Chef Raccomanda” always included pasta pomodoro & bistecca alla griglia, always reliably good.

Good thing I didn't know, because I ate vongole at trattorie and a private home several times in the early and the late 80s, and survived. Maybe there was a pubic health problem and they fixed it. Or maybe my liver has nine lives, since I was also a mononeuclosis survivor by then.
