Based on Andrew Zimmer of the Food/ travel network USA dined here. He knows his stuff. The bread to die for. The app we shared the egg plant parmigiana was very good. My rigatoni cooked al dente perfectly. The ragú was great. So filling no room for desert. This food is heavy, so forget about calories and enjoy! read more

They have the best ragu I've ever had! The pasta and ragu were delicious. Always busy but the service and staff were attentive and good.

The food, the sauce was the best in Napoli! Anyone who chooses to serve their sauce as an appetizer to be consumed with bread only, is very confident of the product. I ate there last night and have already bragged about this place to at least 4 people I met on a bike tour today. Great food, vibe, service! read more

The best vegan Italian restaurant in Italy. I've been traveling through Italy - Rome, Venice, and this is the best place for authentic vegan Italian food! We had the chef special and the rahu dish. The staff was super friendly too. 10+ stars! read more

Came here on a Sunday night, following the Yelp reviews. The service was singularly awful. My husband and I ordered an appetizer, primi, secondi, and dessert. Plus the 1/2 liter of house wine. We were immediately presented with 2 1/4 liters of wine and were told the 1/2 liters were "finished". It was 8:00pm. Seriously?? Our server never placed the order for our appetizer. The primi (pasta with ragu and ricotta) and secondi were brought together with our salad. So much for "courses". We couldn't get our server's attention for more wine, so my husband got up and went inside to hunt him down for it. Water never appeared. We had to get up to request dessert. The food was good, but not outstanding. The house wine was nothing special, and really needed food to be palatable. We enjoyed the pasta - nice meaty chunks in a well-seasoned ragu with ricotta mixed in making a creamy/tangy/meaty sauce. The grilled wild boar was cooked medium rare and was nicely flavored but needed salt which was not on the table and inaccessible due to our server's inavailability. The arugula/tomato/parmigiano salad was fresh and sharp, dressed simply with a fruity olive oil. Ricotta with almonds and honey was a tasty end to our meal. One star for service, 4 stars for food. Not a bad choice, but there is better available. read more

What a value! The ragu was fantastic!!! We started with the cheese and meat platter and the large bowl of ragu with bread. We ordered a sausage with ragu and a meatball with ragu and the portions were very generous. Had the ziti with ragu and it too was superb. So much food we couldn't finish. The cost for 2? 38 euro!!! If we were staying in Naples longer, we would definitely be back! This place is awesome! If you go, and I think you should, be sure to go early or make a reservation so you don't leave disappointed. read more

Good service. Ravioli was delicious and service was fast. Bread served with dinner was very yummy with sauce.

There is a reasons why this place is packed. The really good food and mainly the lack of seating. You better come early or you wish you brought a blanket to eat outside or bring it back to your hotel/home. We order way too much ragu. Boo Boo ordered the rigatoni with meat sauce and I got the light and fresh spaghetti with tomato and basil. We shared a large mixed salad, the meat sauce with ricotta and a small meat and cheese plate. The meat sauce was very rich and salty but I drowned it out bread and wine. The noodles were perfect but it seems they all make it perfect here in Italy. They were not mushy just gosh dammit perfect. The house wine was decent. I was loopy afterwards and got us lost in one of many alleys called streets. I have no idea how drive in these alley without running anyone over. Credit card accepted. The guys working are very nice. They went out of their way to hook up the wifi for the table next to us. Boo Boo and I gave those noobs the side eye. read more

My favorite pasta place in the world. You must get the ragu when you visit. I like to get the bowl of ragu with bread for dipping to start. I usually follow that up with some pasta and end up leaving stuffed. The prices here are very reasonable, you get a ton of food. The place has grown since I first visited, they now have at least 3 individual restaurants around town. read more

I'm going to be for the first time the grumpy post guy..... This place is not good if your an American tourist. Hopefully the first and last time I say this. Italy has been an amazing place and a welcoming county... not Tandem. We walked up, granted without a reservation and they told us 30 min. There were many tables available but I understand how on a busy night there many be people a head of us. However, I witnessed 4 tables of 2 and one table of 4 go in with zero wait. I know 2 of which walked in without a reservation, based on my knowledge of the Italian language. Maybe it was the host I don't know. I just know I was very excited to eat here. I did look at the food and it looked amazing. Even after we sat down, no one else had to wait to be seated... read more

Went at 7pm. Got busy as night went on. Lots of tourist came to visit. Glad we shared a few dishes as portions were quite big. They charge a coperto extra 2 euros pp. Spaghetti meatball ragu was very good. Also had grilled pork this was cooked and seasoned well. Service was fine. read more

You are Naples, you must experience the other worldly wonder that is ragu. Short of being invited into a locals home for Sunday dinner, this is about as good as it gets. Incredible meaty tomato sauce, filled with complex flavor depth and mouth exciting textures. You would do well to simply order the appetizer bowl of ragu with dense, chewy bread to mop it up with. The braciole, stuffed with raisins, pine nuts, basil and cheese is also worth trying. Throw in a side salad and you will be fueled for hours. Dare to add a plate of rigatoni to your order and you'll most likely be too sluggish to do much of anything for the rest of the day, other than sitting gleefully rubbing your happy tummy. Seriously one of the transcendent meals of my life. read more

The Ragu did not have a chance once it got to the table. It was so good that I did not come up for air until it was gone. I was more than half tempted to lick the bowl but got my dinner before I made a disgrace of myself. Dinner, Braciole and Gnocchi. Good lord that was awesome too ! I was surprise I ate it all considering only a few hours before two of us ate a pizza each. Naples food is the best and this place lives up to the reputation. read more

Great napoleon ragu.... honestly best In the city. I do t usually believe reviews that say they are the best in a city, but this place was amazing im.from NY from a Italian family and this reminds me of what my grandmother use to make ... amazing sunday gravy. And great service the atmosphere is ok but you go here for the food. read more

We had a very memorable experience at Tandem. Excellent Ragu, amazing pasta and outstanding service. We also had the best lemoncello here!

We came exactly around 7 because I am not fond of waiting very long for tables (just perpetually hungry and impatient!), and we were seated outside right away. Ordered sparkling red wine which was suprisingly delicious (i'll admit I do like cold red wine sometimes ). For food we ordered a special (eggplant ravioli) and the house special some kind of noodles with ricotta and ragú. the ricotta noodles were super rich but flavorful. I tend to be a bit of an over-salter but I do think both dishes lacked salt (not inedible though!). If I'm ever in naples again, I think i'd keep it simple--just noodles and ragú with no extras. read more

As everyone else has said, go for the ragu!! Great bruschetta and Ragu (over the fresh pasta) to die for. Hubby had vegetarian ragu which was a non-starter, but ordered a second batch of bruschetta and was happy with that. We lucked out and got there just as they opened, so we were able to get a table without a reservation. Otherwise, you'll need to be planful and get a reservation to eat here. read more

The food, portions, and service were superb! We had 2 main dishes with ragu sauce; it was dark red and full of flavors... I still daydream about it. This was August 2019. After going to the main location, we were offered immediate seating at this location. Given the small locale, we said yes and started our 10 minute walk here. We were glad because we were one of the first to be seated (and it was packed by the time we left). read more

Best ragu I had in naples! The restaurant is in a small street which is giving this place a special atmosphere. The guys working there were really friendly and helpful. We went there at 7:30 pm - at 8:30/9pm the location got crowded. So be there on time :-) read more

Tandem was recommended to us over and over again so we knew we couldn't miss out while we were in Naples. We managed to snag one of the few tables outside, which was perfect. The restaurant was mostly locals, but they did have an English translated menu. Everything we ordered was amazing! I got the ragu of the house with ricotta, simple and perfect. We also got the sausage ragu and it was a simple great price of meat covered in their tasty ragu sauce. I definitely recommend heading down the winding alleys to go eat here on your trip. I would either come a bit early or call ahead to make sure you can get a table. read more

TLDR: ate at the satellite location, phenomenal food, great service. Get the Ragu, the meatballs and the braciola. We arrived at this location to find that they were booked for the night, but the hostess referred to us to a satellite location that was a little bit bigger and about a 8 min walk away. So we dined there. Everything about the experience was phenomenal, great service, great food. The Ragu was delicious on both the ziti and the stuffed ravioli. The meatballs and braciola were generous portions and and so good in the Ragu sauce. Would definitely come here again. read more

Tiny, cozy restaurant doing a perfect version of Neapolitan ragu in a variety of presentations. Surprisingly broad range of vegetarian options, so you can still enjoy the classic sauce without the meat if you prefer. They even have seitan. We were lucky to get seated without a wait by coming early on a Monday in December. Knowing how good it is I'd have definitely waited though. Underpriced for the quality of the food. Great example of a restaurant that knows what they're good at and keeps the menu simple. There are one or two specials of the day and otherwise you're getting some variation on the ragu! We had their specialty pasta for a first course, meatballs and a stuffed beef dish as seconds, and were still mopping up the sauce off each plate with our bread. You could taste the time and care that went into these dishes that are prepared from scratch through hours of cooking and reducing each day. Could not have had a more typical home cooked Naples experience. The decor and presentation is nothing fancy, just classic recipes done right. Beyond pleased that we visited. read more

Firstly, the food: excellent. I had the ragu con pane (i.e. entire dish = "scarpetta") and loved everything about it (concept, ragu, bread, all of it). Secondly, the service: pretty good. No complaints, and bonus points because our waitress let us taste both the on-tap and by-the-bottle wines before we made our decision. BTW, the red wine on tap was quite good compared to the other house wines we tasted around Napoli. Decor was cute enough and I recognize that this is a simple resto, but I didn't get the most comfortable feeling since our table was in the corner with a display fridge and a bit of clutter (I think audio and/or wifi equipment/cables) right behind / next to me, plus I thought the lights were a little bright for dinnertime, but I'm more sensitive to this than most. Overall, definitely coming back for more ragu con pane next time I am in Napoli!! read more

This place plays only one note: Neapolitan ragu. It's plays this note wonderfully. You will be happen you came. I had the house special pasta, while my wife had the penne, and sausages for secondo. I think my pasta had a bit too much ricotta in it, with the creaminess crushing the rich ragu. The penne and sausages were amazing. read more

Tandem was a really good experience during our stay in Napoli. The Ragu is so reconforting for your belly. Pastas were really great and that's definitely something you need to try while visiting Napoli. Maybe because it was a holiday (and the the regular staff didn't work) or because of where our table was located, but the waitress wasn't very aware of us. She didn't saw us waving at her. And we waited some very long time whereas we'd like to order more stuff (because the food was so good), and we finally gave up and went in to ask for the check. But I definitely recommend this place. Beware : You'll need to make a reservation for the next day though. It's easily full. read more

Of all the places I've eaten in Italy, this is the only place who had spaghetti sauce the way my grandmother cooked it! They slow cook the tomatoes with the roast for 7(+) hours. The menu is basically this "ragu" sauce with a menu of pastas to select from. They bring out a little bag of the uncooked pasta so you know what all the different options are. And they even had a vegetarian option :) They spoke English well. It's in the heart of the historic center. There's a little apartment across the street where a kid comes out and plays with the customers. I would absolutely do again! read more

Oh my. This restaurant serves the best ragu I have ever had. The tomato sauce is thick, sweet and savory at the same time, the meat melts in your mouth and the fresh ricotta blended in there made it all soooooo freakin good. I had (as you probably figured), the ragu with ricotta, and topped it of with an argula, cherry tomato and Parmesan salad on the side. I even got some gluten free bread sticks on the side! Everything was so delicious, I am truly sad that I'm leaving tomorrow so I can't eat there again. The place itself is small, but full of Italians (in case you wonder, that is a really good thing), and the staff is incredibly nice and polite. They even offered me gluten free beer although it wasn't in the menu. Thumbs up for this one people! Especially those of you looking for amazing authentic Italian food, that is also gluten free! I'm going to dream about this place tonight. read more

The atmosphere is cute and there is a good street view. We only ordered ragu, which is a shame because we should've ordered the other sauce option. We got ragu meatballs and pork. The meatballs were the best I've tasted. The waiter gladly showed us different types of pasta and was attentive. This is a good place for a quick bite or a full meal. read more
