Oh, and for the coffee, don't even think ordering a-la americano drink. Ask for artist coffee, you will not regret it. To enter the restaurant, go through the first room with tables or better walk in from the side street.

This…read moreestablishment has a very charming vibe, with a back patio that's cool and quiet, away from the street. Its location near the amphitheater entrance of the Pompeii Archeological Park makes it very easy to find. The food was fantastic, the pasta was perfect. The service was absolutely top-notch as well. I highly recommend this restaurant for a casual evening with friends, or a quiet evening with a date.

We shared the lemon pasta and Genovese pasta. We came here already once in December 2024, and it…read morewas as delicious as we remember. Having visited multiple places in Italy and Sicily the last time, this place stood out as one of the favorite spots on our trip. Of course we had to stop by again, and we were not disappointed. When in Sorrento, lemon pasta is a must, but I have the say that the true star was La Genovese pasta, which was recommended by our server. My husband still liked lemon pasta best, which means you really can't go wrong. Their bread was also delicious, particularly the white bread and the breadsticks, and they give you balsamic vinegar and olive oil for it. Considering most of the bread we had in Italy was surprisingly disappointing, it's exciting to eat somewhere that the food is good from start to finish. They also gave us one scoop of limoncello and one scoop of lemon gelato for dessert. Both were delicious, but my favorite was the lemon gelato. This is our second time back, and we would not hesitate to eat here again the next time we're in Sorrento. Servers were also friendly and helpful. The food does take a while, but that goes to show that it all is freshly made. This place is great whether it's for a casual dining experience or for date night. They also have free WiFi, just ask them for the info. I love that it's also a family establishment, and family members work at the restaurant. I'm already looking forward to my next visit here.

This place is a tourist trap. The food was mediocre…read more We ordered two dishes and they were delivered literally in 4 minutes. To be fair, my wife enjoyed her lasagna. My pasta bolognese was a disappointment. The sauce was sour and barely a trace of meat. Unlike other restaurants, they seem to specialize in table turn over.

Our waiter knew just enough English and we knew just enough Spanish/ Italian to get by. The menu here is QR code, but there is little cell reception there for our internet to work. Overall the food was delicious. This penne was so cheesy and tomatoey. The mussels were cooked in a simple salt and pepper broth really allowing their natural flavors to pop. Both the mussels and the lemons were from the Almafi coast!

Tandem is amazing. We went to the original location for lunch without a reservation, and they told…read moreus that they were booked up, but that they had a second location a few blocks away that could likely accommodate us. They picked up the phone, made a call, and a table was secured. We walked over, and were immediately seated. The waiter brought a box of multiple shapes of pasta, explained what each was called, and which sauces were appropriate with each. We ended up ordering caprese salad (the freshest buffalo mozzarella we ever had), one pasta, and the bread loaf filled with meatballs and ragu. We were in heaven, and the portions were tremendous. We left stuffed, satisfied, and paid about 45 euros for the meal. Highly recommended!

We were recommended this restaurant by a local shop vendor who was not intrested in selling us touristy items but was intrested in us having an authentic experience. The pasta was excellent as could be expected for this region the portions were much healthier than in other restaurants we had recently eaten in. Bread was served to the table without us being charged for it like we were finding in some of the other more touristy locations. We got to the restaurant earlier than their opening time by about 30 minutes and they were accommodating enough to open up, allowing us to sit down and start serving us even though they had not officially opened this was a much different experience than we found and other restaurants who refuse to open their doors before official opening time. Because this is the famous pottery district all of their dinner plates were customized with the restaurant name which added to the experience in a positive way.

Busy place but worth the wait…read more Our Airbnb host recommended this restaurant for local food at reasonable prices. Apparently every other Airbnb host did the same because there was quite the line waiting to get inside. We waited about 20 minutes and the line moved quickly. Kudos to the staff who were excellent and interacted well with us both while in line an inside while eating. Everyone seemed so happy here. Once seated we ordered drinks and the stuffed zucchini appetizer. The complimentary bread was on target. Very good. One of us had lasagna, another had the fish, another had the Gorgonzola Ravioli and I had the Gorgonzola Gnocchi. I tried all the dishes and they were all yummy. Very well done and tasty. We shared the Lemon Surprise for dessert and it was sublime. So tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant but be prepared to wait in line for seating.

Although the place was packed, but service was pretty fast. For antipasti we ordered the Prosciutto w/ Melon, Octopus Salad, and Grilled Mixed Vegetable. Meat dish we opted for Pork Escalope w/ Mushroom Sauce, and T-bone Steak. On pasta dish we got the Paccheri with Cod Fish. Everything we had was delicious, tasty grilled veggie, tendered meat, flavorful al dente pasta cooked just right! By the time we finished the waiting line was all the way to the corner of the street! What a great meal, and I definitely recommend it.
