Good street food

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

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

Just ok

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.

Pros: Clearly marked options

Cons: Not really a ragu

Very accommodating with vegan options

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.

Pros: Several vegan options, Delicious pasta, Very central location

Cons: No vegan milk

Very good but can’t seat

It’s very good, the ragu is awesome!
The place itself is overcrowded and you can’t seat anywhere, that’s the only drawback

Disgusting…

The pasta was so hard there was a crunch to it. The sauce tasted like chemicals. The bread was stale & establishment was dirty.

Pros: Horrible food, Dirty

Scarpetta al ragù vegano

Posto con qualche opzione vegane, carina l'idea ma il piatto non mi è molto piaciuto, l'ho trovato molto salato.

Go for the ragu

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

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

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.

Pros: Options

Cons: Price

Tasty vegan ragu

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here, we had the vegan ragu and some local wine. Very busy so we had to go to a different branch, but worth the wait!

Got our order wrong

We wanted to sample the Ragu whilst in Naples and decided Tandem would be a good place to try.

We 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.

Delicious Ragout!

This place is one of the most famous in Napoli. So you should either make a reservation (at best right there at the restaurant, they are very busy and therefor often not reachable over phone). They serve an amazing vegan ragout which I had three times over the last couple of years and I still love it. It is the vegan version of a tradtional dish with seitan and vegetables in a tasty tomato sauce. The portions are bigger compared to the usual primi and very fullfilling. The staff is very friendly, too. I think it is the place to go if you visit Napoli.

Very good!

Waited about 20-30 minutes around 7:30pm on a Sunday night. The staff seated people before us until another couple told the staff we were before everyone. Food comes really quick and is delicious! Very had ragu before but it was awesome.

Pros: Great range of vegan pasta, Great if going with omni’s

Cons: The staff were quite slow , Ragu needed more seitan

Good, but not very special

I tried the friarielli (a typical vegetable from the region) and the Pasta al Ragù vegano. The friarielli was very special, it’s flavor mix of kale and spinach with a little taste of mustard. Not the best dish I’ve ever had, but since it’s local I find it recommended enough. The pasta was well flavoured, but not that special I was hoping for.

Pros: Local dishes , A lot of vegan options

Cons: Not very exclusive

Try the Fresh Fussili

Eventhough the vegan ragu was just a Tomato sauce with some peace (and I had literally two little tofu cubes, which was supposed to be the Seitan Ragu) the Pasta and the Sauce wäre delicious. We also Head the Friarielli, some green cole-ish veggie, which is typical for southern Italy. The limoncello is great too.

Definitely 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
