31/08/2024: A place, for me, delightful, at times uncontaminated by the usual scum that arrives on the coast.
You may like it, but you may also not like it because in the end, apart from the sea and a few good restaurants, it offers nothing else.
To think that many years ago there was only a diving center and just a few restaurants...
Today, however, everything has changed!
From "one basin" they managed to create many hotels, small bathing establishments, restaurant spaces, two of which were starred: "La Taverna del Capitano" 🌟 and the "Quattro Passi" which boasts 🌟 🌟 🌟 since November last year .
We often go to restaurants, even starred ones, partly due to my deep innate curiosity, partly to train the so-called. “palate” and also to experience new emotions that only good food done properly can give you.
Those who know me well, among other things, know that I always prefer the Amalfi coast to the Sorrento Peninsula, for a whole series of various reasons: the most important is the heart, then the rest that remains inside me.
Yesterday we went to "Il Cantuccio" in Nerano and I must say that we ate well.
High prices, but as I always say when you eat well I'm always happy to spend them.
- A white wine, Falanghina, strictly still.
- The inevitable Spaghetti alla Nerano, excellent! 😍
- A delicate and tasty clam souté.
- FRESH fried calamari and you could feel all the flavour.
(*I specify "fresh" because it also said frozen)
- Chocolate profiterols, delicious and not cloying.
Tiramisu: very good.
A pleasant and tasty end-of-summer dinner was all there was to it!
28/08/2024: The place itself is nice. A beautiful location and view.
Service was also okay. We were having dinner with family. There was a table celebrating something. And we listened to the music super loud for 2 songs and waiter climbed onto a chair or table to make the party. I found it exaggerated, but ok.
Not really food. I have comparisons with other nearby places. I have always eaten well. But here it is really low level. Maybe I got the wrong dishes. I can't explain. Marinated anchovies with salmon we sent back. Worse than at Lidl. Fried it might have been good, but it tasted a lot like yeast.
Seafood risotto without a shell or anything. I doubt it was fresh stuff.
Definitely don't recommend
