Just left the restaurant and it was a fun experience for me as a tourist. First, the wait was 40' for Tue night so not bad right? Second, it is a fixed menu with 3 items per person to pick, 15 euros, including one big sparkling water bottle per table. The folded paper on the table is a menu. If you are English speaking then be aware of some misleading translations. I saw "roasted" eggplants on the menu but looks like grilled eggplant slices from a next table. So I thought my "roasted" Cod could be "grilled" Cod so I ordered it. It turned out to be a FRIED Battered fish... the coating was crispy and the fish was well seasoned with salt, moist and fresh, just no frills with spices or sauce if you expect. The sauteed rappini was tasty if you like it. By the way, they give you a complimentary limoncello or coffee from the stand outside the dining patio. Any way, I enjoyed the whole experience and walked away with chuckles about English translation and how loud from servers.

This is a Neapolitan institution that I believe shouldn't be missed when you're in town. We arrived 15 minutes before opening and there was already a long queue. The restaurant spans three floors, so it seats a good number of diners, and to our surprise, most of them were locals. If you're seeking something quiet or intimate, this might not be the spot for you. Service was efficient and friendly enough, even though we didn’t speak Italian. The place runs like a well-oiled machine, with orders arriving within minutes. We tried the famous potato pasta, which was decent, but a bit heavy and not as enjoyable since it wasn’t served warm enough. The seafood pasta, on the other hand, was piping hot and packed with flavor. The pesto salad was really refreshing. For mains, the grilled codfish was good, though the schnitzel was a bit dry. We didn’t particularly enjoy the sides. That said, a two-course meal at 16€ is hard to beat!

The food was amazing and was super cheap (the complete menu costs 15€ and they offer you aqua frizzante for free). The amount of food was more than expected so if you don't eat much I recommend to only ask for a dish that is 8/9€. We ordered the complete menu and it was too much food for us (the dishes are big). They service costs 1€. If you like to be in a place with a huge atmosphere with lot of noise and spectacle this is the correct place for you, but it wasn't for us. Is a super noisy place and there is a man playing the guitar who then forces you to give him money and he stares at you and starts to say bad things about you through the microphone, something that made us feel horrible, we didn't even like the music, why should I give you money??? We didn't understand that, but maybe is part of the restaurant. The place is super busy, so trying to catch the waiter's attention was super difficult. However, they were super nice and fast.

Long story short: Fun to watch but not to taste. Tip- try to sit outside at the entrance, this seemed to be the most lively spot. —- Long story long: We got there right at 7 and there was already about 100 people in line for the opening. The whole line of people walked right into the restaurant at opening and everyone seemed excited. You get to choose 3 menu items off of the pre-set menu; a first, second, and side dish. They come around quickly and ask you for your choices and once choices are made they do come out quickly. As you wait, there is an entertainer (in our case, a guitarist) that comes around and entertains then asks each table for tips. The whole experience takes 45 mins max before you’re churned and burned. - The atmosphere is loud and fun which is what we were looking for. The service is extremely rushed but still pleasant. The food was just not really something I would recommend, especially the side dishes.

I went yo Nenella just before its opening, so I did not have to wait long. But overall experience was quite hectic with so many people inside. The service was friendly and cheerful; as a part of the whole experience, the workers sang and danced for half an hour straight, which was very interesting to see how a simple dinner can turn into a mini festival:) the food however, did not meet my expectations and was quite ordinary. There was no cheese added/offered for my pasta (although some other customers got); the fried fish plate was really nothing special - dry and unflavoured. I enjoyed the aubergine and the tomatoes in the spaghetti though. The portions were big, so i did not finish any of them. Overall, I would not come back again for a quality dinner, but would bring friends to enjoy the atmosphere (although, they have to do something with the loudspeakers and the microphone, as it was too ear splitting at times).

When we arrived here at 6:20 on a Saturday night the line was all the way out into the road. There were two large crowds at the doors, and the place wasn’t scheduled to open for another 40 mins. At some point one of the staff came out to address the crowd - with his hand gestures and demeanor and the fact that he was situated on a step he looked like the pope addressing his subjects. Everyone was videoing him. Can’t speak to the food but I assume it’s good. Came back later to see what the fuss was about - they serve cheesy potato pasta and alcohol while playing folk songs. The waiters will get up on chairs every 15 mins or so and sing the songs out loudly. Every one in the place starts singing along and standing up and dancing - it’s a party. I don’t know the songs. I don’t speak Italian. I’m not from here. But if I did, this would be a delightful evening. Everyone looked like they were having an amazing time!
