    Early morning in Amalfi and waiting for the boat to Capri, what a better way to pass time than…read morepasteries at Pasticceria Pansa Andrea. In the heart of the Amalfi town center, this place looks like a display of artwork rather than a pastry shop. The presentations and beautifully made pastries were stunning. Making of a selection here is not easy, see the photos. I felt like a fat kid at an all-you-could-eat buffet. I'll also not a breakfast fan, today we make an exception! We ordered and sat out front with beautiful weather and a parade of the early morning Amalfi crowd. The raspberry pastry was light, airy, flaky and packed with buttery goodness. The almond cream croissant was decadent, flaky and one of the best pasteries we have ever had. If you are in Amalfi, wanting to people watch and enjoy sublime pastries, get to Pasticceria Pansa Andrea. This place looks like a scene from a high-end movie set. Treat yourself in Amalfi and relax at Pasticceria Pansa Andrea, you will feel like a million Euros! Great display, excellent ambiance and delicious treats, a triple threat.

    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!

    In love! Casa e Bottega is gorgeous, both for its decor and…read morefood. Would come back in a heartbeat! Stomach growling as I was walking down Viale Pasitea (the main thoroughfare in town), multiple good options caught my eye. After some Gmaps searching (sorry Yelp, again limited and some outdated data in Europe!) their beautiful IG-able interior + stellar reviews cinched the decision for me. It's both a restaurant and retail store--the latter carries local ceramics, kitchenware and home decor, many with botanical designs--capturing that quintessential coastal vibe--colors back to white. The former takes up the remaining three-quarters of the white-washed space with about two dozen tables seating about 40-50 people. Live vines hang from parts of the ceiling, pendant lighting fixtures printed with leaf patterns echo the botanical theme from the retail displays. The aesthetic rounds out with tiled floors, light wood furniture, and pillowed banquette seating mixed with individual tables, tying in designs from the home goods store. Food is new Italian--they do carry some traditional dishes though they also have a modern Mediterranean section of the menu that adds non-traditional ingredients or techniques. They also serve a variety of cocktails, fresh-squeezed or blended juices and smoothies, and coffee drinks. Lunch with an entree and drink will run you about €35-40, which is on the higher side though par for the course compared to other similar restaurants along the Amalfi Coast. I ordered the traditional fagioli cannellini, scarola, capperi, olive e calamari gratinati €26 (cannellini beans, escarole, capers, olives and gratinated calamari). This was creamy and tasty even though it had no cheese or cream, the calamari was cooked well, just tender enough, and coated with light breadcrumbs, which I appreciated as it was baked and not deep-fried. Having minimal familiarity with dish, I can only say I thought it was outstanding, good textural contrast, not too salty. Staff was the right amount of attentive without being overbearing, and though their English was limited, they strove to answer my questions on ingredients in a few of the dishes. The restaurant was pretty busy during lunch, but I never felt rushed. Loved the atmosphere and food here, would certainly recommend!

    Thank you to our driver Salvatore for this recommendation…read more If you want healthier style of eating in Positano with special juices, home grown fruits and veggie meals , and Vita the owner even made something special off the menu due to dietary restrictions. I had a light pasta with in house made red sauce and the most tender chicken lightly seasoned . We came for lunch and almost every table was taken and able to get in right away without a wait. Vita came to our table mutiple times to entertain and delight us with his stories. We even visited his fine dining restaurant two nights upon his recommendation. Return: absolutely
