Our limoncello-making experience at Antichi Sapori d’Amalfi was, without question, the highlight of our entire Italy trip.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this is a true family-owned business built on passion, tradition, and genuine hospitality. Vittario and his mom made us feel like we were guests in their home rather than customers. Their warmth, kindness, and enthusiasm were contagious.
What made this experience so special wasn’t just learning how authentic limoncello is made—it was the incredible storytelling. Vittario shared the history, traditions, and family heritage behind limoncello with so much passion that every step felt meaningful. He also did an amazing job including everyone in the group, making it interactive, fun, and engaging regardless of age or experience.
You can tell this isn’t just a demonstration—it’s a family proudly sharing a piece of their culture with visitors from around the world.
If you’re anywhere near the Amalfi Coast, don’t miss this experience. It’s authentic, educational, delicious, and filled with heart. We’ll remember the people just as much as the limoncello itself. Thank you, Vittario and your mom, for creating memories our family will cherish for years to come!

What a phenomenal experience! Victor is a third generation owner and told us all about the history of their llimoncello making shop. The presentation and hands-on experience occurred right in their kitchen inside their family-run business and the only Limoncello laboratory still active in the historic Almalfi coast. It was so informative and I just love the passion that Victor and his family have for the art of making pure limoncello (without preservatives)and artificial flavord!! We really enjoyed this experience and highly recommend!

We had an awesome time learning about how to make authentic Amalfi limoncello. Our host was fun, engaging and did a heart job of giving a thorough overview of how they make this authentic liqueur. You also get to try an large range of their homemade liqueurs from limoncello, meloncello, limoncello crème, lemon and ginger liqueur etc the experience is roughly 1 hour long which is perfect..

Our host Vittorio was incredible! It was so fun to learn about the history of limoncello making, tasting his amazing creations and try our hand at making some. The shop is family run and Vittorio's passion for the craft and history of limoncello are what make this experience truly special. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to experience the true essence of Amalfi! Grazie mille Vittorio

10/10! If I could give this experience more stars I would. Host and his family were just happy and excited to open their doors and teach us all about limoncello and the history of what it means to Amalfi. The last of the family stores and authentic limoncello places left in the area. Fun and educational!

Clara was a great host. After the limoncello tasting we were treated to her other creations. Loved it so much we left with some authentic, "home-made" limoncello from her store. Lovely way to spend an hour in Amalfi.

We loved Claire ! The tour is a great experience. I’d love to do it again I recommend this place 100%. They’re the official and most family style limoncello place you can find on Almafi. Book this tour it’s a must. You walk in and it feels like family !

This short class is set in a shop in the heart of Amalfi Square. The hosts were delightful and the Limoncello is delicious.

This was the best experience in Italy so far!!! Owner and his wife were fantastic hosts. He walks you through the history of his family and the limoncello making process. He even shares the family secret recipe. They are so passionate about their business and legacy. It was a quick 1.5 hours but you get to sample limoncello along with other flavors he is experimenting with. 10 out of 10 and I left feeling like family!!!

Vittorio and his wife (owners) walked us through the history of his making Limoncello from his grandfather. While the shop/factory looks more like a lab or kitchen in his store front right in the Amalfi Town square...the hour-hour and a half was intimate, educational and passionate. We did some steps of the process, did some tasting and received great advice, recipe links and a diploma! Well worth it. But it's not like you are visiting a "factory"... but it's better!

Coming from America to the Amalfi coast, I knew a little about Limoncello. Victor gave us an entire different view of this, a greater appreciation. While there, he made us feel like old friends. His Limoncello was the best. If you have a chance to take his class, please go!

We absolutely LOVED it!! A third generation - old school family business. Victorio and his wife were wonderful hosts. By the end of it, we felt like we were friends.
Suzanne_C, Oct 2024
It's been a couple of weeks since that experience but what a wonderful experience this was! From the moment I received a personal message from Vittorio the day before, I knew that we were in for a great time. We had such a fun learning experience with him about limoncello and how this place has been run by his family before him. We also had the pleasure of meeting his wife, who was absolutely delightful! She made us the most wonderful lemon cake - I still dream about it!
The limoncello they produce on site and the passion that they have shines thru the entire experience. We obviously got to sample quite a few of their delicious products and it's such high quality!
My husband and I truly enjoyed ourselves and left their little shop armed with a lot more knowledge about the production of limoncello as well as a smile on our faces from meeting such great, passionate people. We also got adorable certificates and their private limoncello recipe. What a thoughtful touch to top off this experience!
Thank you so much Vittorio!

My husband and I had a little history with limoncello but learned so much more from this experience! It is great to learn the authentic ways of making limoncello and the different types they make as well which are all DELICIOUS! We arrived early and they were ready to get us and start our experience which I definitely recommend to everyone

Great experience to understand the full process of limoncello and other liquors. Vitoria takes time to explain and go through all the steps in their production site. You can also taste different versions and chose the one you prefer.
