    Another good restaurant in Naples; Not as good as di Ettore but a solid address. There are two locations on the same street which by the way is very difficult to get to by car. The place was packed but the service was friendly and prompt. We ordered what they had suggested in the New York times article namely the crispy fried paccheri -- a locally made noodle -- which is stuffed with a combination of tomato sauce, beef, pork, raisins, pine nuts and mozzarella. It was good but the pasta was a little hard( maybe over fried. The pasta with tomato sauce was very good and the portion enormous. The meatballs were tasty too. We were so stuffed that there was no room for desert even if they looked really good. This was a good meal and I certainly would come back if travelling again to this part of Italy

    Biancosarti spritz

    Made reservations for 7pm dinner. It is a small restaurant, so reservations are a must. Started with the mixed fried app (potato croquette, rice ball, and fried pasta) and a biancosarti spritz. The potato one was our least favorite - middle was a little cold - but loved the other 2. The app was much bigger than expected. For pastas, we went with the ragu stuffed paccheri and cheesy mixed pasta with potato since those are very unique and I had never seen before (though I wish I could have had enough room to try the genovese also!). Both pastas were great - the ragu paccheri was delicious and the cheese potato pasta was like a super creamy Italian version of mac and cheese (quite a large serving). We had the meatballs as well - they were melt in your mouth good, and even had raisins which actually worked. Even the lemony green beans were tasty - they took the time to remove the stringy bits off the beans. We were too full for dessert! Service was great and enjoyed the atmosphere. They keep wine on a tall shelf all around the restaurant, so they kept grabbing bottles with a long grabbing tool. I hope no bottles have ever fallen on the guests!

    grilled vegetable salad, ziti genovese and the tomato pasta.  Delicious

    This place is a little gem. The food is absolutely fantastic. We shared the grilled vegetable salad which was grilled zucchini and mozzarella had two different pastas, and then tiramisu for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious. And the tiramisu..... no words. Best I have had on this trip. Service was great. Prices very reasonable. We sat outside which was pleasant even with the scooters and cars going by inches away. Fantastic evening and would highly recommend.

    Veal meatballs were the bomb

    I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Yes I know it's a Michelin star however, it's more than that. It's like being in your Nonna's kitchen or Sunday dinner. Everything is authentic. There are no meals or dishes that are not part of Naples traditional cuisine when we arrived, we did not have a reservation and both locations were completely booked. However we held out and someone did not show up. Lucky us. The host was so accommodating and really truly try to get us as well as a few other people in even though we didn't have a reservation. Many many many people got turned away throughout the night and understandably so this food is fantastic. We had our espresso and we're about to leave when we decided to get the meatballs, probably our best decision of the night, if you know, Napoli, you know that the food truly does have raisins and pignoli nuts in everything. I can't thank the staff enough for having us, teaching us, and laughing with us. Francesco, Ciro and Marcella were all amazing. Make note: you do need a reservation but you can get lucky without one. Also, there are two seatings: 7 and 9:30 so don't bother trying in between those times.

    Fabulous meal. We ordered the eggplant Parmesan and two different pastas. One of the best meals of our trip.

    Undercooked pork steak with vegetables.

    The Ziti de Genovese were in fact delicious... but I also ordered the pork steak with vegetables and it was server undercooked. SEVERELY undercooked. This is pork - it's dangerous! Sent it back to cook again without any issues, but it was still slightly pink when it came back. I ate the better cooked areas and left the rest behind. Unsure how this is a Michellin restaurant.

    We tried to get reservations multiple times even asking our hotel to try if they can try. Unfortunately no reservations were available so we decided to try our luck and just show up and ask. They were able to sit us after a short wait (party of 3)! Everything was great! The kind waiter even humored us Americans trying to use our Italian words after everything was said the drinks and food came out and were so delicious! Overall great experience, will definitely try again if we're in the area.

But the staff was friendly and we were able to get a seat without too much of a wait. I'm giving this restaurant 5 stars primarily because the offer something very unique. A vegetarian Ragu with seitan. This place is known for great ragu, which is meat based. But they offer a vegitarian version that was very good. I got a mushroom pasta dish that was very tatsy and filling. I could only eat half due to how filling it was. My wife got an Aperol spritz and I got an italian beer. If we were back in the area we'd likely stop back in to rty other options on their large menu.

He even had some sample dry pastas with him to physically show me as a little demonstration, which I thought was really nice and appreciated very much. I ended up ordering the fresh scialatielli with ragu and ricotta (€13.50), which was simple yet tasty. The fresh pasta was cooked very well with a classic preparation. They also gave a generous amount of parmesan on the side. I also tried the fresh lemonade, which was very lemony and slightly fizzy for additional refreshment. The place is somewhat small inside but I was able to get a table without any wait. The kitchen is right next to the seating area, so it's kind of cool to see the cooks right there. Overall, Tandem is a great place for pasta dishes with very friendly service.

Every slice was flavorful, well balanced, and unmistakably Neapolitan, with each one bringing something a little different to the table. The fried pizza really stood out, light, crisp, and not greasy at all. This place captures everything I love about pizza in Naples: confidence, tradition, and execution without overthinking it.

We decided to come here for dinner and were craving a good seafood pasta. They also had their famous Seafood Risotto for two and we could decide, so we shared the seafood pasta as a starter and the Risotto for two for our entree. Service was great and friendly and our pasta was to die for! Spaghetti cooked perfectly al dente mixed with mussels and eggplant topped with parmigiano reggiano. Simple, straightforward, and super tasty. The vibe is awesome with outdoor dining and people watching going on, people are just in the moment of things and conversations the night away, NOT on their phones. I was expecting a pot of risotto to come to our table to split, but we were pleasantly surprised and super pumped that two full sized plates were delivered, fully loaded with clams, prawns and langoustines and a perfectly done risotto on the bottom. For 28 euros?(about $33 usd) You definitely won't get even ONE plate for that price in America! Needless to say, we were stuffed by the end of our meal and decided to walk it off in the bustling streets before seeking out dessert options.
