Pastry

Among the many products for which Salvatore De Riso is famous, there is a special place for those made with lemon: the delizia, profiteroles, his famous limoncello babà, all richly decorated with lemon leaves and fresh fruit.

His “Dolce d’Amalfi” and famous “Ricotta and pear” cake have quickly become equally emblematic of the simplicity and elegance of his approach to pastry. The “Dolce d’Amalfi” is a product imbued with the scents and colours of the Amalfi Coast, shaped like the sun and suffused with the unmistakable taste and smell of the sfusato lemon that grows along the Coast, perfect for visitors who want to bring back a bit of its glorious sunshine.

The “Ricotta and pear” cake is a fine balance of fine ingredients: ricotta from Tramonti, Giffoni hazelnuts, and pears. Not to be missed, as well, are his panettone with limoncello cream, his colomba, miniature pastries, singleserving desserts, and his famous babà.
