Perched atop cliffs that separate the town from its busy marinas, it's known for sweeping water views and Piazza Tasso, a cafe-lined square. The historic center is a warren of narrow alleys that's home to the Chiesa di San Francesco, a 14th-century church with a tranquil cloister. Just a breathtaking, spectacular area that I can just sit at and take in the beauty all day long.

There are ferries to Capri, Naples etc, and lots of local excursion, fishing and diving providers. Stairs and a narrow road lead up to the main town. There's a wide range of restaurants, cafés, hotels, shops, and stores of every kind. Dring the peak season, it can get very crowded!

It was absolutely delicious! We were pointed in the right direction of what we had sampled. As we were walking along, I received another sample that was a lemon chocolate about the size of two M&M's put together, and it had a tiny bit of lemoncello in it. So yummy. I had to get some of those as well! Great service, cute shop, and very efficient. We will be back!

I visited Nino and friends in the Amalfi Coast (Anacapri) back at the end of Feb and it was a…read moresurprisingly memorable experience! I have not been offered so many samples in my life, and I frequent Costco on the weekends. Not only were we able to try a variety of things (various chocolates, almonds coated with hazelnut/pistachio/caramel/limoncello, balsamic vinegar, oils, limoncello, various jams), they were actually amazing quality and that really sold themselves I would visit here just for the experience, not to mention the amazing service from everyone giving you samples. The store is also beautiful from the inside and bigger than it looks from outside. Needless to say, I would 100% go back to see what else I can try!

There's a stunning amount of product showcased here, most of which you'll never see in the US. You can find The standard Strega bitter liquor at some specialty liquor stores in the US, but some research may be involved depending on where you live. It would seem the American appetite for herbaceous, bitter liquors just hasn't reached the level required for import distribution. I, however am a huge fan of such things and this store was a playground for me. Aside from the vast array of products, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable and took time to answer all our questions. But what really makes this place special is the free samples. That's not a misprint. Free samples of several lines of Strega liquors including two varieties of Grappa--which I must say were fantastic. If you're unfamiliar with the stuff, here's the perfect opportunity to get acquainted with something new for your alcoholic fix.
