“ Great restaurant, especially for their pasta dishes. My waiter was also super friendly and patient with my American self when explaining to me all the different kinds of pastas they had and which ones were freshly made. 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. ”
“ I ordered the fresh scialatielli with ragú and ricotta. I highly recommend it. Great flavor, pasta was perfectly cooked and hot. ”
“ Ordered the ragú with spaghetti and an eggplant Parmesan sandwich. The sandwich was okay, I should have ordered Parmesan cheese to put on top. The best thing was the sauce. The ragú with spaghetti was amazing, no comments. Service was fast and depending on which one you go to, you can either sit down/stand and eat or takeaway. ”
“ Holy cow. So good. We had the Ragu stuffed mozzarella and my dish was amazing as well. I cannot remember the name of the noodles but it was so good. Very reasonable prices for the serving. Definitely recommend. 10/10. ”
“ 2 days later and I'm still dreaming of that Cuzzetiello sandwich! From the taste of it, all the Ragu used in each of the dishes were also different. And different in a good way! I got the Cuzzetiello filled with meatballs with ragù. I'm not really a fan of tomato sauce (even tomato sauce pasta), so the fact that I liked this is HUGE! Absolutely beautiful flavor, fresh bread, Large meatballs and the perfect amount of Ragu in there. FRESH SCIALATIELLI WITH RAGU AND RICOTTA - Ragu had a slightly tangy taste to it. Dad found it a bit too sour so we ended up packing half of it and taking it for breakfast for the next day. I still found it really nice though. Pasta was cooked well and not too al dente. FRESH GNOCCHI WITH RAGU AND PROVOLA - Husband and brother both ordered this one. Gnocchi was fresh and soft and quite a big plateful of it. The raghu had a slightly sweet taste to it compared to the others. RAVIOLI WITH RAGU FILLED WITH RICOTTA AND SPINACH - Quite large pieces of ravioli here with a good amount of filling as well. There was a lot of Ragu on the plate here compared to the amount of the actual pasta and the Ragu was fairly oily. :( Otherwise a good dish. ”
“ The meal was the best we had in Italy. Be prepared to sit a while, but it's worth it. The service was excellent and the food was so delicious. Come hungry!! Portions are large and apps are filing! ”
“ Great food, went without a reservation but got seated inside. Service was good enough after they realized we were there, but the food was excellent! Would recommend! ”
“ I have eaten quite a few meals in my half century but this is one of the very best. And without a doubt, the ragú is the best ragú I have ever had. Tandem was a recommendation from my food tour guide and it's on point. Located in the old town part of Napoli, it's a half block off the main streets with the tourists. That makes it close but not too close. Inside, a small seating area with a half-dozen tables. Friendly host to show us to our table and explain the different pasta shapes. Stuffed mozzarella to start. No, not something stuffed with mozzarella. This was an actual ball of fresh mozzarella stuffed with sauce. For main, I had the ragú with fusilli pasta. Literally, the best ragú I have ever had. Ever other meal I have the rest of my time in Napoli will be judged against this and it will fall short. Don't miss Tandem.

“ Sirs and Ma'ams...this is THE spot. After bouncing from one location to another and then finally getting a seat at one of the locations, the husband and I were blown away by how good the Ravioli and Gnocchi were. My husband couldn't fathom how they were able to give the gnocchi a smoked flavor. and the Ravioli made me question what the f kind of ravioli they make and sell over in the States. As Black Americans, the fresh ingredients alone gave it a different and exquisite taste. But the techniqqqqquueee! Babyee! Tandem is THAT girl. Try to get a reservation beforehand. if you can't, still try your favor. And if you need to wait, then wait. ...and we took the meatballs to go. And hell yea - they were excellent warmed up the next day. This restaurant was big highlight of our honeymoon. In fact, it was my babe's favorite. ”
