    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!

    I'm usually cautious about extremely positive reviews, but I think in this case it is more than…read morewarranted. Many other reviewers have mentioned that this is the best meal that they've had in the entire country and unfortunately, without sounding like a false advertisement, I absolutely must agree. This was the best meal I have had in the entire country and I have traveled Italy extensively. They only have a couple of tables, the brothers, along with mama and Bridget, deliver an incredible meal, incredible experience, and the way the patrons feel after the experience cannot be matched. What the hell if we ordered Caesar salad, then meatballs, then gnocchi, then seafood with linguine, then the local catch of the day which today was amberjack, then ribeye, then dessert. I'm not alone in my prayer of this restaurant, my wife and my three children are unanimous that this was the absolute best meal that they have had in Italy. I strongly recommend this restaurant, but I would mention that you need to get there early because they do not take reservations. Please feel free to joke with Bridget about her Texan roots and her hallmark story which caused her to settle in Positano!

    Posides was one of the most memorable meals of our trip. We had a cozy table for two on the terrace…read moreoverlooking the most stunning Positano views, the kind that make you pause and soak in every moment. The food was outstanding. The Caprese salad was fresh and bursting with flavor, and the prosciutto salad was beautifully balanced with just the right mix of savory and sweet. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The drinks were equally impressive. The house Posides Spritz was refreshing and perfectly balanced made with a cherry liquor, and the limoncello spritz was smooth, bright, and easily one of the best we've had in Italy. We finished with an affogato that was the perfect finale, rich espresso poured over creamy gelato for a sweet, satisfying finish along with the seasonal cake. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening, making the experience feel personal and relaxed. The restaurant is a bit of a walk from the city center with a few stairs to climb, but it's absolutely worth it. The stroll back down afterward is the perfect way to walk off the meal. Between the amazing food, stunning terrace views, and kind service, Posides is a true Positano gem.
