The history of this company is naturally intertwined with the vicissitudes of a family that proudly guided it for five generations.
Founded in 1830 by Andrea Pansa, the pastry shop has kept unchanged the charm transmitted by the 19th century furnitures keeping the smell of the essence of the Fathers, among those gilded mirrors that still reflect the images of famous people such as Ibsen, Wagner, Longfellow and Quasimodo, below the elongated cruises legacy of past glories.
In the February 2001 Pansa received the prestigious acknowledgment of entering the register of the cultural association of Historical Places of Italy, because it is rightly considered one of the oldest environments of production and tasting of desserts in the Amalfitan region.
