This place was magnificent. The location is perfect, the service is flawless, and the croissants, the pastries, and the coffee will leave you speechless. Located right in the heart of Amalfi, the ambience is going to draw you and you'll never want to leave. In our week in Amalfi, we made sure to stop by every morning. I highly recommend the Coffee with Sfusato Amalfitano and the Coffee of Antica Repubblica. It all reality, I recommend everything they have on the menu!
Stopped in for a lemon delight, and ended up also getting a glazed lemon cake too. Both cakes were delicious - moist and fluffy. The glazed lemon cake had a nice tartness to it while the lemon delight was more creamy. We were able to find a small table to sit and eat on a rainy day. It was busy, but not overly so. There was quite a line for the ladies bathroom though!
This place was fabulous! The pastries were by far the best we had on our entire trip to Italy. I had the pistachio and my husband had the chocolate, and both were amazing. The pistachio filling was wonderfully light and creamy, it was just amazing! The shop itself was beautiful as well, and it was just in the most perfect location right next to the beautiful Amalfi church, duomo di amalfi. The coffee was great as well, and the service was kind!
Hello everyone! So on our tour of southern Italy we decided to visit the beautiful city of Amalfi. As you can imagine the South of Italy is known for its agriculture and more specifically its wonderful lemons. I have to say that they are awesome! I happen to love lemons and can honestly say there is a difference. Along those lines, our tour guide outside of acquainting is with the area had some great recommendations for us and specifically recommended this pastry shop. Apparently they have a lemon cake pastry called the "Deliza Al Limone" which we had to try and boy am I glad we did. Totally awesome does not do it justice. What a wonderful light cal with a lemon filling that is perfectly balanced. Not to sour, not to sweet and just perfect. If only to try this dessert you really need to make a pot stop and try it for yourself. Now they have a large variety of other pastries as well which all looked amazing and no shortage of coffees and lattes to be had as well. Overall cost was very reasonable and I am posting the latest menu as well for good measure. They are located in the city center opposite the main church so you cannot miss it. I suspect that earlier in the day may be better as the afternoon was completely chaotic with all the tourists but again well with it folks. If you ou choose to dine in you can but it may be best to grab and go. Service can be a little slow so patience is a virtue if you choose to dine in. Everyone is very nice as well and they do speak English and Spanish so communication should not be a problem. Some quick advice, if you are planning on staying in the area for a few days. It would probably be a good idea to stay in Sorrento (much cheaper and flatter) and then take a day trips to both Positano and Amalfi. This will make it easier to visit, save some money (as Positano and Amalfi are extremely expensive) and definitely check this Amalfi pastry shop out! Hey with the money you will save you can take some extra pasties back for the road! Honestly I found the pastries were so good that I would have them ship me this desserts if I could back home! LOL! Anyway, hope this helps you guys out and definitely stop by and check them out if you guys are in the area. I am sure you will not regret it at all but you will need to deal with lots of tourists in some way shape or form. Just keeping it real. Wishing you a wonderful time in Amalfi mes amis, Enjoy and Bon Appétit!
My friends and I tried the lemon delight and some sort of Madeline-shaped pastry filled with hazelnut chocolate. The lemon delight was perfect, it wasn't overly sweet and had a good cream to cake ratio. The cream was slightly bitter (due to the rind I assume) which added a nice depth to the flavor. The hazelnut pastry was also scrumptious!
We stopped here to get Amalfi's famous Santa Rosa sfogliatelle at the historic Pasticceria Pansa Amalfi. This beautiful bakery is located next to the Norman Arab Cathedral. It was crowded and we had to wait about 10 minutes but it was worth it! This santa rosa version of the sfogliatelle has lemon flavored ricotta cheese in a flaky crust finished with a dollop of pastry cream and black cherries. I ordered it to go and they packaged it so beautifully in a gold box and ribbon. It only cost 3,00 euro which I thought was a great deal. The bakery itself is absolutely beautiful. It was not a bother waiting in line due to the opportunity I had to look around at all the gorgeous pastries and the beauty of the bakery itself. I absolutely would recommend visiting and ordering the Sfogliatelle. There is so much history in this delicious pastry that in my "book" it's a must do while in Amalfi.
Elegant pastry shop with coffee or alcoholic beverages in the main square of Amalfi. They offer outdoor seating which is great for people watching while enjoying an cappuccino in the morning or an aperol spritz in the evening. The Lemon delight is amazingly soft and packed with flavor. There are limited seats so a line will most likely form.
So, I have to start by saying it was 3 years ago that I visited this place. But you know those amazing places that stick with you days, weeks, months, or years later? This is one of those places. We were on a tour that stopped in Amalfi and our tour guide recommended this place to us to stop for some dessert. I have to say, her recommendation was spot on. We ordered the lemon cake and a strawberry tart. Many things on the Amalfi coast are made with lemon because they grow a ton of lemons. This little lemon cake was simply superb. My mom still dreams about it to this day. We were a party of 6 and everyone loved everything they tried. Our server was the 5th generation of his family to work at this restaurant. They have been here since the 1800's so you know they're doing things right! Their setting is idyllic as well - right in the center of Amalfi, near the picturesque cathedral. If your travels bring you to Amalfi, you would do yourself a disservice by not stopping here for a pastry or two. Or 6, let's be realistic. You only live once!

Wonderful selections of freshly made decadent desserts, cakes, and coffee with really good prices actually. Great atmosphere and the employees are also wonderful. I got quite a selection of desserts to try a little bit of everything and it was all really good and the staff was very friendly. read more
I had this place saved to get some good dessert on Amalfi and it did not disappoint! Gelato from the booth opposite the main location and a cannoli from the actual cafe. Cannoli was decent - crunchy shell with creamy filling, but I've had better Cannoli in Rome. Gelato was delicious! Proper creamy and actually authentic! Got the Cioccolato con Caco del Madagascar (basically a chocolate gelato) + Ricotta Stregata (a ricotta flavor) in a cone. It was a really lovely combination and so perfect for a hot day. read more

We stopped here during our Amalfi Coast tour. The tour guide told us to visit this bakery for their famous lemon cake! So so good!! Also grabbed a cappuccino and then tried to sit at the tables outside, however they would not let us sit down. They said we had to order with the waiter. We had to drink our cappuccino and eat our lemon cake standing up inside the place ; annoying ! Definitely worth stopping by for the lemon cake. They have a glazed and non glazed version; tried the non glazed one and I would definitely go back for more! read more
Sister spot to the amazing chocolate and gelato store up the hill, their cafe is a nice spot in the town's centre right beside the majestic cathedral. Since it's in the centre, there is a lot of tourist creating a crowd here and for a lovely reason, nothing could be better than experiencing La Dolce Vita in Amalfi with a wonderful freshly baked Italian pastry and a decent cappuccino. The fact that it sits in the very centre with the most lovely patio and large centre fountain playing a tune of dulcet water splashes, it really makes you realize why Amalfi is considered one of the most incredible coastlines in the world. The bakery itself is pristine with every type of sweets your tastebuds could desire. A fluffy soft cake filled with Amalfi lemon crema .. incredible. The rich creamy ricotta tinged with candied citrus in the cannoli... amazing. Add on a dark roast cappuccino and you'll ever wonder why people would want to leave. I will admit that the cappuccino was good but not great.. it was missing a balance between milk to espresso. It was more similar to cortado. They do have a bit of their chocolate and gelato offering here but just go up the hill and indulge in one of the best gelato on the coastline. It's the real deal and if you see the lemon or any of the nut flavours (almond, pistachio, or hazelnut)... definitely get it! It's quite incredible here. As for the service, it's more a luxuriously long service... for those who are on tour buses blowing through Amalfi, this probably would not be the spot for you as you'd be staring at the watch seeing the minutes disappear and you'd wonder if you're going to be left behind. Then again, seeing the blue skies, the incredible Mediterranean sea, and perfect gelato or pastry to go wtih that view... maybe that isn't a bad thing! read more

We have been here twice in the last couple years. There is nothing I would not order. The staff is professional and amazing. The food is amazing. The drinks are amazing. The backdrop and setting is heavenly. I have been thinking of the pastries for two years and just got my fix about an hour ago. There is no doubt this historical square is one of the most beautiful settings for an authentic Amalfi experience. Try one ore more of everything! read more

Very good dessert and coffee. We particularly enjoyed their famous lemon delight dessert, which was fluffy and fresh. Pricey though but nice atmosphere. read more
Do: - Get a table outside - Order a coffee / pastry - People watch on the piazza This place truly is La Dolce Vita....I found any reason to go and enjoy a coffee and any one of their amazing lemon pastries: breakfast, mid-afternoon snack, dessert, and just because... read more
If you're staying in Amalfi, you'll probably see Pansa's store front when exploring the piazza. We probably ogled their chocolate covered candied oranges, lemons, and limes, the amazing baskets of beautifully crafted marzipan, and drooled over their cannoli all displayed in their windows for a few days before finally going inside. Not sure what took us so long. We ordered a pot of tea and some cakes, and 2 espressos. I've forgotten the names of the specific cakes and teas though, so, I'll mostly be writing about the experience and what Pansa offers its guests. The dine in experience was so nice and was a much needed time to relax and breathe in the moment especially as an escape from the cold air outside. Their menu, full of different types of teas and coffee, small cakes, and types mousse with a tiny bit of history alongside brief descriptors. Our order wasn't meant to be terribly complicated, but since we weren't able to speak any Italian our waiter often got what we wanted confused, no biggie. We still enjoyed out tiny tea party. The walls are a mixture of shelves covered in packaged in house treats, marmalade, and teas, and at the counter a large display full of various cakes and desserts. We left with a bag of chocolate covered citrus peels, some cannoli, and a few cookies. Overall, best cannolo I've had ever, hands down, and a lovely little cafe to just relax and take in the atmosphere. read more
OMG- the BEST Sfogliatelle, or "lobster tail," I have ever had in my entire life!! I have dreams about how unbelievable this pastry was- it was hot(apparently the way it was traditionally meant to be eaten, however I've never had the pleasure of enjoying a warm one in the past) perfectly crispy on the outside and so soft and chewy on the inside. They had a few different versions with different fillings. I went with the lemon, which was the best lemon pastry filling I've ever had(had to go with the lemon considering it's an amalfi specialty)-- it had a real lemon fresh flavoring(not artificial) and was not overly sweet, but the perfect balance. Ugh, i'm pretty confident that this pastry is equivalent to biting a little piece of heaven. read more

What a cute pastry shop, right in the heart of Amalfi. The options are overwhelming!! We ended up sitting outside and ordering the lemon cake and some sort of chocolate mouse cookie sandwich (it looked too good - - we didn't even ask what it was) and some cappuccinos. All were delicious! Would definitely recommend this place. Seems to be really high quality compared to other pastry shops around. read more

Pastry case is amazing. The 3 pastries we had to go were to die for. Especially the cake one with lemon chantilly in the middle. I will dream of it...it was THAT good. We also got 2 cappuccinos to go as well, delicious. The only thing that needs some attention is the service! read more

Great Service and delicious sweets and coffee on a cold winter day!!! First time here was recommended and was AWESOME read more
Such a lovely cafe with lots of options. Came here because they open early and we had a delicious cappuccino and pastries. I also ordered a plain brioche (no sugar at all) and it was delicious. Eat outside and see the daily activity of Amalfi. I need to come back to this place! read more

Pasticceria Pansa is without question one of the greatest Italian Pastry Shops in all the World and thee place to get the Famous Pastry Sfogliatelle which is a regional speccialty that was created by Nuns in a Monastery in the small town of Conca dei Marini a few miles away. This Pastry Shop / Caffe is absolutley gorgeous and is at the center of action in the main Piazza with the Cathedral of Amalfi just a few feet away. See the Cathedral then go over to Pansa and grab a seat inside or out, order a Sfogliatelle with a Cappuccino or Espresso and you'll be savoring some of Italy's greatest treats: its coffee (Cappuccino & Espresso), its pastries of Sfogliatelle, Cannoli, Rhum Baba, Gelato or whatever you get a Pansa you can't go wrong, this place is First Class, Top Notch as Good as it gets. It's also a great place for a late afterrnoon or early evening Aperitivo of an Aperol Spritz, Campari Soda, Negroni, Prosecco or whatever your heart desires, you're sure to have a most wonderful time at Pansa, "it's one of my favorite places in the World, I just Love it." Basta. read more

Definitely get the lemon delight. Be aware that the price for dining in is significantly higher than getting it to go. It's worth the price to dine in and people watch, but I would recommend eating on the beach across the street! read more
