I do actually know that their gelato tastes better than it does in the States. That's a fact.

Located in the heart of Amalfi in Piazza Duomo, right beside the Cathedral of Sant'Andrea,…read morePasticceria Andrea Pansa is one of the town's historic institutions. Founded in 1830 by Andrea Pansa, the pastry shop has been family-run for generations. Today, it's especially known for its traditional Amalfi pastries and sweets, including the popular delizia al limone, made with the region's famous lemons. It's a little piece of Amalfi history that you can actually taste. We had a bit of time before our ferry, so I made a quick pit stop here. Luckily, I read a few reviews beforehand and knew the process: order and pay at the register, then take your receipt to the counter to pick up your food. I happened to visit during an off time, so there were only a few people inside. I quickly browsed the beautiful pastry display, jotted down the names of what I wanted, and was able to order easily despite my very limited Italian. I was in and out in probably five minutes. Everyone was friendly and helpful, unlike some of the other reviews I've read. They packed my goodies in a beautiful little box, and I took everything with me to enjoy with my family later that evening. Of course, I had to get the delizia al limone -- a must in Amalfi! I grabbed a few other pastries too, a pan di Amalfi and a ricotta e pere. Everything was delicious and thankfully, not overly sweet. It was also fairly priced (I'm from Hawaii where everything is expensive so...) and for the quality, well worth it. Overall, I'm glad I made the quick stop. The pastries were delicious, the experience was great, and getting to taste a little piece of Amalfi's history made it even sweeter. Definitely visit if you're in town!

This address is the main location along Via Duca Mansone I, they also have a couple other smaller chocolate and gelato boutiques, the closest being diagonally across the piazza in front of the Amalfi Cathedral. Outdoor seating set out on the stone street fronts with a cream and wood color scheme and table umbrellas for shade. The store interior shouts classic European emporium, warm, medium-tone wooden display fixtures and wall paneling with mirrors and glass. A handful of golden chandeliers and pendant lights. Most importantly--many glass displays of pastries, cakes, chocolates, cookies. The staff is forthcoming and friendly, ready to help when I mentioned looking for a snack without certain ingredients. Their English was much better than my (non-existent) Italian. I ended up purchasing a little bag of almond cookies €6, with a texture between almond cake and marzipan, baked in little mini cupcake cup shapes. They were tasty though a little on the sweet side. Prices in the store were pretty typical for Amalfi Coast though I think a little higher than average pasticcerias in other Italian cities. I had planned to drop by again to try their gelato though alas didn't have the chance again when I was there. If I ever go back to Amalfi will drop by again!

Sal de Riso commands a position on the main drag and is centrally located in the city. The display of artistic sweet treats look like museum pieces for the dessert world. Dining here for sweet treats is a staple in the quaint town of Minori. The display case is an art exhibit for "beautiful" food creations. It is almost sacrilegious to devour the artwork / treats. We left enough room after dinner to stop here and give them a try. Making a decision here is not easy. We selected the lemon cake with an ethereal regional following. It was delicious, not overly sweet and a mouth punch of lemony flavor. For the lemon lover, this is a must try. The three level chocolate tort was equally tasty and done very well. Don't over-eat and save room for the sinful deserts at Sal de Risa in Minori. If you are next door in Amalfi or Positano, hop the ferry for a nice, quiet and relaxing evening in the quaint neighboring town of Minori. It was be a welcomed relief to the crowded and bustling environment of the coast, especially in the summer.
