Bad vegan ragu - Edit
Disappointing vegan ragu. Just tomato sauce with big irregular pieces of seitan.
Read moreKind and apologetic service though.
Lots of vegan/vegatarian options.

Try the Fresh Fussili - Edit
Eventhough the vegan ragu was just a Tomato sauce with some peas (and I had literally two little tofu cubes, which was supposed to be the Seitan Ragu) the Pasta and the Sauce were delicious. We also Head the Friarielli, some green cole-ish veggie, which is typical for southern Italy. The limoncello is great too.
Read moreDefinitely worth for the pasta, but don’t expect too much ragu-style 🙈

Pros: Pasta , The waiters , The price
Cons: Ragu is more a tomato sauce - but still good

Good food and nice service - Edit
Tasty food with clearly labelled vegan options. Sadly the vegan ragou was not what I hoped for. Especially because the pasta con melanzane e pomodorini my girlfriend had were delicious.

Many options! - Edit
I have visited Tandem several times during my stay, in various locations and I was surprised by amount of options. Service was really kind and exactly had knowledge about vegan variations. (Cheese on the table was not vegan)

Ragù vegano alla buona - Edit
Ho preso il pane ripieno di ragù vegano ma quest'ultimo era un po' tirato come ragù 🫣

Good street food - Edit
They are known for the ragù in bread, which is actually quite convenient for a quick bite. You can choose up to three fillings, including a vegan ragù made with seitan (although there’s not a whole lot of it in the sauce). I recommend adding friarielli as well, a slightly bitter cabbage variety.

Decent - Edit
Nothing amazing but decent nonetheless. Probably wouldn't return, but maybe. The seitan could've been better made with better texture

Just ok - Edit
Points for having clearly marked vegan options on the menu. The vegan ragu was just ok though...it had barely any seitan in it and was more like a tomato sauce with veg. There's definitely better places to eat all over Naples for vegans.

Cons: Not really a ragu

Very accommodating with vegan options - Edit
Amazing pasta - the vegan ragu was delish, with bits of seitan and a generous portion size which looked very similar to the non-vegan version. Other vegan dishes include traditional neapolitan sandwiches. No non-dairy milk for coffee, otherwise would have given 5 stars.

Cons: No vegan milk

Go for the ragu - Edit
The ragu was excellent but the seitan medallion was pretty bad- it was barely seasoned large chunks of seitan with salad. There's a few other things on the menu for vegans but it more or less boils down to these two. I'd go back for the ragu but don't go expecting lots of choice.

Ragù - Edit
I had the rigatoni ragù with a side salad. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the ragù was quite tasty. Vegan items clearly labeled on the menu.

Good pasta - Edit
The vegan ragu was good but very salty. Didn’t bother me but I imagine it is too salty for some people. The bread for the Bruschetta was already a bit hard to bite. Overall though there is a fair amount of options for vegans.

Got our order wrong - Edit
We wanted to sample the Ragu whilst in Naples and decided Tandem would be a good place to try.
Read moreWe placed our order and clearly stated that we were vegan. In hindsight, it is clear that the waiter confused it with vegetarian as he told us he would give us 2 different kind of pastas which ended up being a cheese filled ravioli and another type of pasta with melted cheese on top.
We felt awful having to decline the food. Having said that, the waiter realised what happened and we ended up just paying for the drinks. He was super apologetic and we dedicated to book a table for the evening (as we had a tour booked so we couldn't stay).
The Vegan Ragu was very nice but we were not overwhelmed.
All in all, it was an honest mistake and turned out OK.
