"In a way I am sad that I found this place because I had hoped to keep it all to myself, most of you hoepfully wont find it so I hope it will be safe from the masses but if you do find it it is heaven on earth, it looks like paradise, it is so simple, so unfussy, so unpretentious, reminds me of how I assume Mexico would be, I have been twice, the first time, the sea was glorously rough and the view looking out was pure heaven. We drove our VW camper down the track and it got scratched, then I moaned that it would be awful as I hated the name but I was WRONG, WRONG< WRONG, it was the sweetest, most unaffected, best little place ever, if you like your fish brought to you to choose, if you like zero pretention, if you like it natural and sweet, then this little place is the place to be...they have swanky places in London going in and out of fashion but this beautiful, inaccessable place is just perfect...last time I went I fell off my little hired boat trying to get at it, banged my head, bleeding but that is the price I paid to just return here..and I will as often as I can escape dreary England, I will get my little hired boat and sail right to the door, leap off and eat fresh fish, beautifully cooked in a place where commercialism and greed have not touched and whoever owns here must just be happy to get up every day and work in such a beautiful location...if I could cook, this is the place I would want to cook in....expect nothing and be dazzled by its simplicity and beauty x"

"The staff here work really hard and the food is outstanding. Their Spaghetti alla Nerano is some of the best pasta I’ve ever eaten. And the location is beautiful. However, the chaotic seating process really ruins the experience. We were told it would be a 20 30 minute wait for a table. Fine, and fair for such a popular place. But there is no system: no one takes your name, nothing is written down, and no one is given a number. It’s just people milling around and jostling each other as the wait staff push through the throng. After about 45 minutes of this, a good portion of the people waiting for a table gave up and left. Groups were being seated at inappropriate tables in a slapdash manner ie two people put at a table for 4 just because it was the next one available compounding the problem and leaving empty seats strewn about the restaurant while the line ballooned. On top of this, locals who were regular customers or Camorra waltzed up in front of those waiting and swooped up tables as they were cleared. In response to our raised eyebrows, staff said these people had reservations, but I understand some Italian and this was clearly not the case. Again, nothing was written down: the reservation book lying open at the entrance had nothing written in it beyond 13:00 and several groups arrived at 14:00 or 14:30 and were seated ahead of the queue with their invisible reservations. This was in October so I imagine the chaos would only be increased in the summer months. It took almost an hour for us to be seated. Service was harried and perfunctory. There is no bill provided: you just go up and pay, at which point cover charges/service fees are added to the final bill. Also the bathrooms were dirty and out of toilet paper. Not what we expected for the prices charged, which are above local norms."
