Pasticceria Sal De Riso

The food is absolutely amazing, the pastries are to die for. The lemon delight is a must! We also ate dinner here and the food was amazing, extremely flavourful and the service was great. The staff here are so welcoming and helpful. Their coffee is also amazing, might be strong for some people… but everything is great. Such a cute little spot, you get to stare out to the water and a pier.

Sal di Riso offers a huge variety of pastries, and the quality is great. The ricotta and pear cake is simply sublime. However, the hot chocolate, even the bitter one, was so sweet it was almost undrinkable, we had to ask for milk to tone it down. The service is quite slow, and the staff seemed unmotivated. The place looks exactly the same as it did 10 years ago.

Very crowded place because of the location. Great range of sweets. Also gelatos and macaroons. Everything tasted nice. Gelato was too sweet basically could not taste anything after few spoons. Lemon sorbet was very refreshing would recommend it. Cakes were are also tasty and gluten free options.

An amazing patisserie and one of the most famous ones in Amalfi coast area. We took some pastries & cakes for take away to munch on the beautiful doc right in front of the shop for breakfast. The first one was a mini pie version of torta della nonna which is one of my favorite cakes, and it was sooo delicious! Crumbly crust pie with patissiere cream that was just the right amount of sweet topped with pine nuts. The second one was baba a limoncello, a twist to the original baba a rum that most bakeries offer, and it was soaked with limoncello sauce and filled with limoncello cream inside. It was very well made but I guess out of the 4 pastries we took this one our least favorite one. The third pastry we tried was a slice of their pistachio cream cake which was creamy, very very sweet but with a gentle taste of pistachio. Lastly, we tried their sfogliatella frolla which was filled with ricotta cheese and orange zest and was so moist inside but still a bit crispy on the outside - the perfect combination. If you're in Minro or Ravello area, I'd very much recommend visiting this shop as they're definitely experts in what they do and there's a huge selection of pastries and sweets so anyone can find their favorite.

The cakes are amazing, the staff are nice, the only issue we had was coffee machine which was not working for hours and it was so disappointing we were wondering how the big restaurant has only one machine

Very delicious pasteries with innovative flavours and Chef’s special touch. We tried multiple pasteries and were really surprised with the taste, must try experience. Also a great location to enjoy your time with a view.

A traditional pastry shop with great looking pastries which I did not get a chance to try. Next time! However, I tried the Gelato and it was amazing... rich and creamy in texture.

I tried three different pieces of cake, the pistache, the chocolate one called Anastasia and the local speciality called lemon Amalfi cake. The pistache and the Anastasia were so good!! The flavours were amazing. I would definitely repeat if I could!

We stopped here for gelato after hiking Path of the Lemons. For a pastry shop with so many desserts, I would have imagined that it would create at least a few good gelato flavors. Nope, they only had the standard flavors. The only flavor that was remotely interesting was "Fichi d'India" which translates to "Indian Fig". I wasn't sure what that was, but looked it up, and it was prickly pear. I liked that flavor. The various other flavors we had, such as pineapple (1 star off), strawberry (1 star off), and even lemon (1 star off) tasted artificial. We ordered two flavors for each person, which we assumed to mean one scoop each. They brought out three scoops for each person, randomly picking which flavor to double down on, and charged us for three flavors/scoops each. I never complain about extra gelato, so just let that one slide.

The only miss in a month of traveling through Italy. Cold service and very bad gelato - freezer burned and artificial tasting. I know they are famous for their pastries, but if you are going to sell gelato, it should be on par with all of the delicious gelato we tried elsewhere.

This is a very busy place inside and out with an outdoor seating area across the street next to the beach. It was hectic inside with no one to direct you. The store itself was beautiful with so many items to choose from but I had come here for one thing, the Monoporzione. I was so disappointed after one bite, I ate no more. I expected it to be bursting with flavor and soft - it is a sponge cake. I would still recommend going here for the experience and to decide for yourself.

This review is for the pastry only. I'm quite sure I don't get the hype. The room is pretty and the pastries are well decorated and presented but that's as far as it goes. The famed Delizia al Limone, for all the various lemon ingredients it boasts, tastes oddly muted. Not too surprising, really, since the pastry teems with an abundance of fluffy whipped cream. Dairy dulls the flavor of citrus so what else should I expect? Add to that a complete lack of textural contrast and you have a pretty little ball of soggy cake and over aerated whipped cream. The pistachio entremet suffered from the same problems. There is so much delicious pastry in Italy. This isn't it.

Great food, amazing selection, multiple restaurants specialties and wonderful service

Had a chance to hike the Path of Lemons "Sentiero dei Limoni" where I went from Minori to Maiori and stopped at Sal de Riso for lunch. So so so good! The indiavolata was amazing! They are known for the Delizia al limone which was insane! So tasty! This is a great place to eat along the Amalfi and I will be back in the summer!

5 starts for to go desserts. Top of the line pastries and home made liqueurs. Disappointing for lunch. Was recommended this place due to the view and the amazing food. View entirely obstructed by one truck parked on the street in front (seating is ground level so the "view" is only present when you are standing up.) Menu is via QR code. Problematic for such a huge menu. Took about fifteen minutes of maneuvering to get a hard copy for my vision impaired older mother since she could barely read the menu on the tiny screen of my phone. Was very exciting by the vegan options-including vegan lasagna! I haven't had a good lasagna in years and was super excited. It was very creamy but flavorless. Like, no flavor except from the Vegetables. As someone who usually finds everything too salty, I was shocked at having to add salt and pepper to an entree to make it tasty. My mother got the vegetable platter which had a nice assortment of veggies. Everything was over cooked to near mush with (again) pretty much no flavor. Nice olive oil drizzle, but minimal seasoning. Service was attentive but rushed and easily flustered. Our beginner Italian was not enough even for ordering by pointing at the menu....one out of the four servers on duty spoke English so once he came on shift ordering got faster after the previous servers gave up on us after the question "what is a piada?" I was excited to see the option of a vegan mokachinno. Been eyeing those in cafes for days and envying them. Was very disappointed that the only chocolate was a light dusting of cocoa on top, none inside as described on the menu. Also, even though I clearly stated multiple times that I was vegano, my vegan mokachinno was accompanied by a tiny butter cookie that I couldn't eat. Wonderful that they have milk alternatives for the drinks, bummer that there was no milk-free accompaniment. My mother had a lemon cake that she said was fantastic and worth the mediocre meal. But also that she would never eat here again except to get dessert and drinks.

Ok I gained so much weight from this place lol. Omg everything was so good. Btw I tried everything each day I was there. Everything was great. I guess it's an Italian addictive thing lol

If you have the opportunity, go! For dessert, for dinner, for hot chocolate, for an afternoon pick me up. The variety of pastry was amazing, very difficult to choose. Same with gelati flavors.

Saw this place on a travel show and decided to check it out. We were a bit worried it might not live up to the hype or be overly touristy, but we were so glad we stopped! Not only are the desserts works of art, but they are equally delicious and very reasonably priced! The menu is HUGE and can be a bit daunting to go through, but that's really the only downside. We had 2 desserts and a couple glasses of Prosecco. If you enjoy lemon flavored treats, the delizia cannot be missed and probably had the best tiramisu ever!

This place is so magical! My first visit was on a day of pouring rain, so we sat inside. Plenty of seats available, and service was prompt. We ordered a two pizzas to share and a few pastries and coffees. I remember everything being excellent. The cute coffee presentation game is strong here! I also love the gift shop area. Lots of cute things to look at, and many items are legit nice gifts to take home. My second visit this year was a much sunnier day. This time we noticed a huge patio area across the street. So many tables, and so close to the water! Great place to hang out. Plus the area was covered so you wouldn't bake in the sun. This time the two of us each ordered a cocktail. Umm HIGHLY recommend ordering a cocktail here. Not only were they yummy, but apparently you get an adorable and equally yummy tasting platter! I uploaded pictures - came with a nice little sandwich, some cheese, and other goodies. So good we didn't even need to order cake. But we didn't let that stop us. You definitely have to order some type of cake here. They're so pretty and tasty and they make you feel so classy and European when you eat them. So in short - come here, sit outside, order cocktails and pizzas and cakes. Then sit back, relax, and enjoy the view!

This famous pasticceria, located on the town of Minori's main strip, is extremely busy with visitors and has a huge selection of desserts to choose from. The delizia al limone was really good, as was the crunchy Neapolitan sfogliatella (riccia). The sfogliatella (frolla) was ok, it has a softer texture which my husband really liked but it wasn't my favorite. You can eat in or carry out, including coffee. Parking is a nightmare in this area so plan accordingly if you're driving. After multiple futile attempts to park we decided to just buy pastries and take them to go (my husband had to drop me off so I could go in and buy the pastries while he drove around before picking me up again).

Sal de Riso is dessert lovers dream come true and an award winning business for good reason. Located in the small town of Minor in the Amalfi coast, it's worth a visit if you're in the area! The shop is located along the main street along the beach. You can enjoy an aperitivo in the piazza across the street overlooking the sea or inside. Definitely go in side to at least see all of the beautiful desserts. In addition to their award winning pastries (which many local restaurants also feature on their menus) they also serve gelato and have a food and drink menu. The Ricotta e Pere cake is a must and it's what put them on the map. Their sweet, whipped ricotta is featured in many of their desserts and it's AMAZING. I don't even have a sweet tooth-this place is my all time favorite dessert shop. Add it to your bookmarks if you're planning a trip to the Amalfi area.

So is all the hype worth it? Yes. I had the mixed seafood salad and it was light yet very filling. Desserts were very hard to choose. Of course the lemon delight had to be eaten but then there were so many choices. In addition to the lemon delight we had the Sicilian cannoli the cassata cake and the Vesuvius. All amazing in their own right. This place is definitely worth the stop.

There isn't much to do and aren't too many places to eat in Minori, so we ended up here for dinner on two separate occasions. The second visit failed to meet already low expectations. The tuna tartar was edible, the pizza diavola was worse than you can get at a truck stop. It tasted worse than it looked, if that's at all possible. Got the 20 euro charcuterie board on the second visit, and had quite possibly the worst meat and cheese available in Italy. One of the meats was mortadella, ugly and tasteless, and the prosciutto was so rubbery, it seemed like month-old leftovers. Separately, got a little pistacchio pastry to go, and it was fine, but definitely far from the best dessert one can have in Italy. At least it wasn't month-old leftovers. To top it off, everyone on staff acts like they're doing you a favor, bringing you revolting, overpriced food.

Drop what you're doing and head to this place RIGHT NOW. No, but really this place is awesome for pizza and pasta but the desserts and drinks are out of this world! I'm a huge pistachio nut (hehe) and these guys deliver! Tons of desserts to choose from, all at around 5 Euros each. The gelato here is fantastic and runs about 2 Euros a scoop. My personal favorite is the cheesecake. Also, funny enough is the mojitos here are super good. Sit outside for an ocean view. It's right across the street from the beach, really nicely appointed and they have quick service. Their amuse-bouche comes as a cute quartet and their ravioli comes in stars, and their bread is actually warm! Seriously, hit this place up. You won't be disappointed.

What a wonder of arts for the senses. Every part of my being was awakened by the very air circulating in this pastry palace of decadence. Oh how I long to return and simply beg just to watch such confections being created! I could take my place quietly on a stool, lean against a counter, press my face against a glass or peep through a seam in the door! Naturally while vacationing in Italy, I had to visit this wonder of worlds and clutch my invisible pearls in glee and fright. I was afraid I would seem to eager and insane to request such a large volume of pastries for a single person. However none of that occurred. As I dreamily made my rounds - my greedy eyes devouring every little chilled and baked magic cakes displayed, I couldn't help but think of relocating to the area lol. Oh the cakes, oh the gelatos and fan fair. They even had a cute desk where one could leave a note. The staff so attentive and understanding when you go a bit overboard with the gelato samples, encouraging and supportive as the simple act of making cake selection becomes a life decision. On my stars and cakes, Sal even had pastry insipered perfume that actually smelled amazing and not cheap and gimmicky. As a huge sweets lover, I was in pure heaven. Everything I consumed were lightly sweetened and airy. My pictures will tell the tale, do stop by and give this location some love.

This shop does a nice job with everything from lunch to dessert. It's a big menu but a lot of it is the extensive pastry list. It's a pastry shop at heart, and there are dozens of varieties of cakes, pies, and other sweets to try. The cheesecake we tried was great and I don't even like cheesecake. It's thinner and less sugary than the American version, but boasts a lot of flavor. The pizza is more American though. New York pizza draws from the Napoli area, so this isn't a shock. However, the fresh ricotta dolloped on top will easily remind you where you are. Someone looking for gifts would do well to check out the boxed chocolates and liqueurs they sell. It's a great place that I'd definitely return to.

Went here for a quick bite for lunch. We got a Regina pizza which was ok and the hamburger scotona. The burger was huge and there were pieces of bone/cartilage in the meat. Bread was soggy. The worst part of it was the piece of hair I found while eating it. It was a small piece but enough to ruin the burger. I showed the waiter and he looked at it and said "oh" with a slightly disgusted face. Then proceeded to walk away. Seemed pretty rude. Maybe the other food is good but the burger is not so great.

The Baba is to die for, and the rest of the pasties we tried were confectionary perfection. Spotless and professional service with napkins signed in a center glass display with customer raves; there is truly no pastry shop like it on the Amalfi coast.

Local friends brought us here for cake. It's very famous in the region and for good Reason. Great cakes! I got the delicia limone since it's typical and also tried the tiramisu limone and the fragola (strawberry) tart. All excellent!

During our first hour in Minori, my boyfriend and I had already ascended (with luggage) and descended 20 flights of stairs in the 85+ degree and extremely high humidity weather so we were ready for some well-deserved Italian gelato. On our way into the town, our driver recommended Sal de Riso to us so we went straight here without a thought. It's really confusing. We really just wanted to order gelato on a cone to take across the street so we could find a shady spot overlooking the sea, but we had no idea what to do. We did find the gelato counter in the back, but after waiting for 10 minutes in line we were told that we had to order first and bring the receipt. The place doubles as a sit down restaurant, gelto shop and souvenir shop so the lines were long at the registers in the front, which is where we assumed we were supposed to order. We ended up just being seated on the outdoor patio to be served because at this point all we wanted was something cold. Our waitress didn't speak English, but pointing at the menu worked well-enough. Luckily, the menu was also written in English on the back of each page so we were able to pick out what we wanted with ease, which wasn't the case at all places on the Amalfi Coast! While the gelato was refreshing, it came out a bit hard and not as soft as I expected gelato to be. The taste was great, but I felt like I was eating normal ice cream, which was a little disappointing.

Had a great experience at this coffee shop in Minori. We ordered two expressos that were excellent. We also ordered the lemoncello cake which was outstanding. This place pays attention to detail and it shows. No coperta as well.

If you are in Minori, you have to go here for desert. You will not be disappointed! We were recomended by a local taxi driver. We had the lemon sponge cake and the cherry cake. Both were delicious.

By far the best Italian pastry shop ever! It's simply art and how appropriate it is to have created perfumes with the flavors we all love! A must when driving through Amalfi coast...we just keep coming back.

The pistachio dessert (Santa Rosalia) was amazing! We got minori gnocchi too and it was ok.

Best desserts and cappuccino in town. Staff friendly and helpful figuring out what's all in the 100 different desserts.

Great cakes, good selection of authentic gelato. You can stand or sit in. Worth the visit just to look at their cake selections. Also has meals if you want dinner.

I don't know how anyone cannot give this place *****! It's the most amazing dessert/pastry place on the amalfi coast. The beauty of the pastries are works of art, and they taste as good as they look! A must see if hitting the coast!

Best Gelato I had during my visit to Italy. Tried one of the pastries and it was really pleasant as well. Will come back for sure when I'm in Amalfi Coast area :)

not a fan. Our tour guide said this place is famous and is on tv but my fiance and I had two pieces of coffee flavored desserts and didnt like either one. Not impressed at all. Didnt like either at all. Very disappointed

this may be the BEST dessert I've ever had! I had the Azteca, Tiiramisu and Gelato and did not feel guilty about it! If you're ever in Minori or anywhere near Minori, or just on earth, IT'S A MUST GO!!!!
