He said he would take care of us and he certainly did! What's even more amazing is that my husband and I watched Maurizio take care of every other customer in the same manner. He was kind, personable, and ensured every patron had a great experience. Everything he brought out was exceptional! We especially enjoyed the gnocchi, the beef, and the tiramisu! Thanks for a great night!

While looking for lunch before visiting the Herculaneum historical site, we found this restaurant…read more We quickly got an overview of the menu by the host (which was written on a board, which makes me think everything is freshly made). While receiving the overview, we didn't know what to choose: everything sounded exquisite and delicious. We had a mix of a starter and a "primo piatto" and two "secondi" to finish. Every dish was nicely presented and equally tasty as we imagined during the menu overview. Needless to say we were very happy to have found this place!

Good food, nicer restaurant (I think you could wear whatever you want but there are white tablecloths), and for a town that doesn't seem to have much going on, this place was busy!

But If you happen to come here and want a beautiful lunch or dinner, then I would recommend this place. The waiter, Claudio suggested what to order and I wasn't disappointed. The local fish was delicious,baked in the oven with tasty tomatoes. I had the house wine and was pleased with it. I don't think I would stay in this town again but if you happen to find your self here, eat here! Ps the Ercolano ruins are phenomenal.

Where to begin? We loved this place so much we went back a second time. I cannot say enough. It…read morebreaks my heart that such a gem is hidden in rundown Portici, where most will never get to experience it. Luigi, the owner(?), was the epitome of Italian hospitality! On our first visit, we arrived far too early for an Italian dinner (shortly after 7PM). We were tired after a long day and did not want to go later. It was immediately clear that as American tourists, we were an unusual sight. The menu did not have a word of English and it seemed most of the waiters did not speak much English. Since the restaurant was nearly empty that early, Luigi doted on us, sending us complimentary antipasti. We were delighted with the whole experience. We did not order a secondo that night, as we were not particularly hungry, but the gnocchi alla Sorrentina was phenomenal. With that memory fresh in our minds, we decided to return two nights later. This time we were eating on Italian time, and when we walked in around 9PM, the place was packed. Yet we had no trouble getting a table. Luigi recognized us immediately and welcomed us warmly. We didn't expect his attention since the place was so busy, but we were blown away by how much time he spent with us. When the power went out suddenly, the food kept coming out without major issues. Extremely professional. The personable service was the best part of this experience, but the food was wonderful, too. The bruschetta was fantastic and we very much enjoyed the bucatini alla Don Salvatore. To be honest, the misto di carne alla brace were not anything special (not bad, just a bit lacking in flavor) but when everything else was so special, we were not disappointed! And I haven't even mentioned the prices! We couldn't believe how inexpensive everything was. My only regret is not trying the pizza that was being made in a brick oven right inside the entrance. Portici is not much of a destination, so sadly, most people will miss this spot. But if you are traveling through on the Circumvesuviana train, it is worth a special stop at Portici via Libertà to eat here. The restaurant is only about half a kilometer from the train station, and if your time there is anything like ours, it will be unforgettable.

Tandem is amazing.

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!

The staff was extremely friendly, taking the time to share their favorite options and recommendations with us. There are a couple of seats inside, but it's mostly set up for takeout orders. We ordered the meatball cuzzetiello. It's a great concept--after all, who doesn't love a meatball sandwich? However, the bread was a bit too hard, though that might have been because we visited later in the day. The meat was okay, but it definitely wasn't hot enough, and while the ragù was a bit sweeter than our personal preference, it was still decent. Overall, it could use a bit more seasoning for taste, as it felt somewhat bland. Again, it's a really cool concept, but I think they need to tweak the flavors a bit.

It is located right next to the train station. There are some restaurants along the harbor. Don't get tricked into going there. Come here. It is a little away from the waterway but well worth the little walk. The people working here were super welcoming and nice. Our baby had a little accident and they gladly helped us clean it up. They made no fuss or were upset about it. They were SUPER nice. Everyone there made us feel so welcomed. Our server was also super great. She gave us recommendations as to what to eat. We ordered their mushroom pasta (OMG so so good). The sauce and seasoning was flavored to perfection. We also got the calamari. It was the best tasting calamari I have EVER had. It was so fresh. There wasn't too much breading either. Again, seasoned to perfection. Their chicken salad was tasty too. We also got a pizza to go. It was the perfect snack when we had it later that day. The restaurant itself was sooo so cute. Very very clean and nicely decorated. Their bathroom facilities were clean too. If I ever come back to Naples, I am definitely stopping here again.
