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!

I had ordered the meatball cuzzetiello but was served this with eggplant on top. I had asked if…read morethis was correct, and they said yes. Did not prefer the flavor and think the meatball one would have been better. We ordered a fresh pasta that seemed off as well. Busy place. Wanted to like it more than we did. Service was ok. Hostess was the best part.

Forget Florence and Pisa and Montalcino and head south to where the coffee and bread are ten times better. This second story gem is down at sea level in the port of Pozzuoli, and I have eaten there about twenty times. Be advised: the menu is very, very limited. You can get a starter of octopus or a plate of olives. There are a couple of seafood pastas and risotto pescatore. Then you can get some fish or some fried calamari or shrimp. That's about it. But the guys who run the place are great, and I love to watch them interact with foreigners --- by which I mean anyone who lives more than ten miles away!! I first ate here in about 1986, and the young guy that was our waiter then was our waiter in April of this year, and one of the old cooks was still down in the kitchen. Don Antonio and his wife are long gone, but his son is still there every night it is open. I highly recommend this place for an adventurous eater, but don't go there and waste a table if you are wanting some sort of special fancy meal. This is where small groups of old friends go for good food in a simple setting.

Just delicious and the sweetest staff. The waiter helped me choose because we didn't understand…read moreeach other's languages. I got this massive pasta and braised meat, a side of zucchini with a unique sweet taste, a bottled water, and bread, and I just now realized that I think they charged me less than I expected. Like really inexpensive but huge portions. It seemed a little different than what Americans think of when we think of Italian food, I couldn't really find any traditional pasta with red sauce dishes except bolognese. The menu said "land or seafood" and the waiter asked me if I wanted "meat or fish" so I think that's roughly how the menu was divided. My meal was delicious and everyone else's looked good too. I saw some massive plates of clams or oysters, and pasta with seafood in it. It's just like 20 feet off a main Piazza so it's in a great location. The staff really was so sweet.
