Pasticceria Sal De Riso

This place was recommended by our Italian cooking class hosts, and we’re glad we made the stop. The pastries were delicious and the service was great. The ricotta pear cake, in particular, is a must-try—light, delicate, and not overly sweet. It’s also worth stepping inside the shop to browse their full selection - there’s plenty to tempt you.

I visited Sal De Riso in Minori during my trip to the Amalfi Coast. I went twice, once for lunch to try their desserts and again for a romantic dinner. The seafood pasta was full of flavor, the pizza was fresh and colorful, and the ravioli with pesto sauce was rich and perfectly balanced. Of course I had to try their famous Delizia al Limone. It was soft, lemony and absolutely unforgettable. The staff were warm and attentive, and the whole place had a peaceful elegant feel. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

A trip to the Amalfi Coast without stopping in Minori for Sal De Riso would be a true sin! That's why we treated ourselves with a set of divine pastries. The Delicia Al Limone 'Costa d’Amalfi I.G.P' was nothing short of a poem written in pure lemon ink :P. Fresh, fragrant, a masterpiece kissed by the sun of Costa Amalfitana. As for the Sfogliatella Santa Rosa? Perfectly crisp on the outside, luxuriously creamy inside, like a hug from a Neapolitan nona, with a small yet super tasty ice scoop in its side. Sal De Riso truly lives up to its name: a masterpiece of sweetness and top notch service, as its crew was top-class, and an absolutely enchanting seaside view. For anyone around the Amalfi Coast, allow yourself to not just pass by Minori; Step inside and let your taste buds celebrate, hard wiring your brain with truly unforgettable tastes. As for the prices? Sal De Riso is worth every single cent of the (reasonable) bill you'll pay. Thank you to the whole team!!! You gave us a true journey within our latest journey in Italy! 🇮🇹

Yummy pastries, a bit over priced but it is very common along the coast. Gorgeous views and a lovely beach nearby. Highly recommended for a sweet treat.

Might be a little more expensive than other random patisseries which are not so famous. But prices are really quite reasonable for their quality and location. Also very friendly and welcoming staff, even our dog got a free cookie!

Vast choice of pastries and gelato. Very high quality and unique flavors. Worth every penny! Highly recommend anything made of local ingredients such as ricotta, figs, walnuts and honey and the sflogliatelle di Santa Rosa!

Must try the desserts from here is you are staying here or even passing by. Some of the best I have ever had in my life.

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.

Located in Minori, not to be confused with Maori which is the only Amalfi Coast village that was allowed to update their buildings. Our guide ChatGiussePT claimed these pastries are famous worldwide. Jimi ate what were his 4th and 5th scoops of gelato of the day here while his wife touched the water. 5 stars

Food: I liked the lemon tart pastry! Got it both days, but their croissant was very ok. There wasn't a lot of pistachio filling inside which I was excited for. Service: Workers are knowledgeable and patient. Ambiance: Big store with lots of seating outdoors. They have a wonderful display as well of all their pastries.

We started our Amalfi Coast adventure in Minori on a Saturday morning and our first stop was Sal de Riso. There were so many incredible desserts to choose from it was so hard to narrow down our choices & chocoholic me I couldn't just try one. Plus being in the Amalfi lemon region also tried the Delizia Al Limone sponge cake with lemon juice. Fantastic service & every item is presented on its own plate. Definitely a must stop if you're in Minori.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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!!!!
