The church itself isn't particularly interesting, but the cloisters are lovely. You can visit the chapel where the nuns hear Mass. It's in loft at the back of the church and entered through the cloisters.
Note: The church and cloisters are open only until noon, so plan to visit in the morning, then have a look in the colorful shops...

Go visit Napoli underground, the shops selling "Presepi" (figurines to display the birt of Jesus to display at Christmas), true masterpieces and buy real pizza

Good atmosphere for wandering, but a little touristy. I'd recommend going further off the beaten track.
