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!

Once, you come to terms with that, the price of stuff becomes relative. Was this place a bit pricey? Yes. However, it compared to the other stands surrounding it and it had some really excellent sorbet, granita and fresh fruit. We first took notice of this place while we were walking up the stairs to get to lunch. I knew I wanted to check it out after lunch because the guy working there was seriously out of control, in the best way possible. He was working the stand, trying to get people to come in and I respected his hustle. He got me. The outside has examples of the lemons and oranges you can get in the region. I liked that this was a way to decorate. There isn't any seating and the stand is very small, the 4 of us couldn't all fit in at the same time. The granita I got with strawberries on top was seriously amazing. My friends husband got the Amalfi Dream, which was essentially orange sorbet. It was freaking amazing, so rich and creamy I thought it was a sherbet. It wasn't. I'd gladly pay 20 Euro for the 4 of us to get these treats again, especially when a fancy cup of gelato in Vegas is getting close to $10. Gladly.

They will not notify you it's like you have to be a mind reader or be sure to inquire. Again it could be a language barrier but it would have been nice to let a client know their food is ready.

We are leaving Amalfi and headed back towards the pier. In the city center is a buzz, a long line with young girls taking photos of the bus boy, famous or internet person I guess at Il Planeta del Gelato.

I don't know if the bus-boy getting attention or line of people bothered him, but he was in charge. He sneered at us where we asked for a sample and barked back, "NO SAMPLES". I ordered a delicious scoop of pistachio gelato in a sugar cone. The gelato had great depth of flavor, stuffed with crunchy pistachios and was heaven to my palate. The gelato here is good, but next door it is half the price. I don't understand the drama here but their gelato is exceptional. Perhaps the gentleman behind the counter at Il Planeta del Gelato should eat more gelato that made me very happy and forced a smile.
