Look no further than this gem of a shop in the heart of Positano. You will find a huge variety of gorgeous handmade ceramics alongside a warm & genuine customer service.

- KatieGJD120 contributionsBeautiful Shop and Amazing Customer ServiceWe were looking for a ceramics store and found this one. It was a lovely spacious store with beautiful options. I saw so many things I admired; although we just purchased one item while there. I was blown away, however, by the customer service. I believe it was a father and son. Their English was impeccable and their treatment of my aging mom was so sweet and thoughtful, offering a seat and water. I was so touched, I was nearly in tears. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I am thinking about ordering a tabletop (such beautiful options)...Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 20 April 2024
- KatieGJD120 contributionsProfessional, prompt, and personal customer serviceMy mother bought a ceramic figurine from this shop and wanted a second one after we returned home. I contacted the store via WhatsApp and received amazing assistance. The item was carefully packed and promptly sent to Austria and then traveled with me to Germany and back to the U.S. It arrived completely intact and sits in my mother’s living room. She is so excited! Thank you for the amazing and very personal customer service! The service here is both top-notch and very kind!

My wife and I walked into this store, which was across our hotel, looking for ceramic sets. The attendant, who we later discovered was the owner, was more interested in texting than saying hello when we walked in, which is fine. This did not bother us.
What bothered us was his disgusting attitude when we were asking questions about his product so we could understand what we were looking at. Instead of explaining his product to us he ended up telling us that the ‘cheaper products are downstairs’. Regardless we went next door and my wife ended up spending more money than I wanted to at his competitor because they were just nice people. When we walked by on our way back to the hotel he was standing outside and laughing at us.
I presume he is going to respond to this review in a nasty manner by reading his response to other bad reviews. Tells you a lot of the business your are buying from. Don’t let this idiot spoil your vacation with his unfriendly attitude.
Spend your money somewhere else. This store doesn’t appreciate it.

I was waiting a little bit before answer you also for several reasons and I'll demostrate who you are :
A) you are the same person that wrote me a bad review with this other account: Traveljournosb ( very sad )
B) I've already answered you and people can make their idea on what REALLY happned reading it.
C) this classifies you as an hater , liar and a frustrated person . People can easly judge your behaviour I dont need to go further to explain.
D) looking at your profiles (yes both of you ) the approach seems to be the same for everybody you encounter in your life and if it wasnt happening what you planned then you use the review as a "wapon" , let me tell you are defenetely an idiot not me, thinking to modifie people opinions by using this poor method .
Be good in life what goes around comes around.....and next time you enter in a store if you see someone texting man don't go mad he is answering to another customer on this new SOCIAL's world

I don’t normally write reviews although I must for this wonderful shop in Positano. During our stay in Positano, my husband and I were walking around the town near our hotel and ran across this shop. Although we had been in many of the local ceramic shops, this one was by far the BEST! The owner, Lorenzo, was fun to work with and his ceramics are beautiful. We initially purchased two tiles, but later, after looking in many shops, returned to purchase a small table. I loved that he could personalize the table by tastefully painting our names and the date of our visit in the design. We had hoped to return to Italy this spring but due to COVID the trip was canceled. I contacted Lorenzo and purchased another table and tile and just received them. They are BEAUTIFUL—or as Lorenzo would say, “Bellissimo!!” Thank you so much Lorenzo for your outstanding service and beautiful ceramics! We have wonderful memories of our trip to Positano and your store and hope to return someday!

Lorenzo is fabulous! He is kind, generous, and always willing to go above & beyond. He has a beautiful store with quality products. I can’t even begin to tell you how many items we’ve purchased for ourselves and as gifts for others, from tables to dishes and name tiles, everything is absolutely stunning. He’s also very easy to reach via WhatsApp when ordering over seas and very much on top of all purchases. I would highly recommend.

Thank you nicole , thanks for the nice words it is true, what counts more then a lot of other things in business are the customers that repeats their purchase because of the trusting ......feeling comfortable they are going to recieve a genuine (no chinese products faking Italian , let's say the truth) hand made and hand painted piece , giving satisfaction everytime they look at them .
Grazie Nicole , Tucker and the entire Francesco Family .

Lorenzo was a true lifesaver. I live in New York and I had reached out late in the day about a plate order that I needed for rush delivery (for a birthday gift). Lorenzo got right back to me and helped me through the process by sending photos of what they had in stock, making sure that it would be delivered on time. Sure enough, the plates arrived earlier than expected, actually. They were packed safely and they were even more beautiful than in the photos!
This is a great shop. I can't wait to go there in person as soon as it's safer to travel overseas. I highly recommend, thank you so much, Lorenzo!

We went around quite a few places in Positano, Capri and Napoli, but Lorenzo's store had easily the most beautiful and high-quality ceramics of them all. A pleasant hour or so was spent indulging in the different designs.
Lorenzo really took the time to help us among his other business, and we had fun hearing him telling all the anecdotes about his store and background behind the designs. It's always a pleasure to meet someone as dedicated to his thing, not to mention with a great sense of humour! We actually came back another time as well, and the pieces we got that time were flexibly added to the same shipment.
Everything arrived intact and meticulously packed a couple weeks later, and Lorenzo was quick to reply when we needed assistance with locating the order (UPS Finland really cares zero about notifying the recipients of their packages, but the seller is not to blame for this of course). Really happy with the products and the service, definitely recommend!

The best Italian ceramic store on the Almafi coast! And we looked! Ravello, Priano, Almafi, even the rest of Positano — nothing compares to the craftsmanship found in this shop. Lorenzo, the owner, is spectacular and speaks great English. He’s so approachable and friendly, he even went and got drinks with a customer.
The pieces at Emporio Della Ceramica are the REAL deal. You won’t find cheap transfer designs like at the tourist traps down the street. Each item is hand-painted and authentic crafted by Italian artisans. However, it’s surprisingly affordable that you’ll be able to leave with what you really loved.
Don’t see exactly what you want? They can make it! They also (blessedly) ship worldwide and pack everything extremely well. I can’t recommend Lorenzo’s shop more. Don’t miss it!

I can’t say enough good things about this store, the service or the owner Lorenzo. We purchased our dream table a few years ago from Lorenzo and it has been a cherished table for our family for years. Recently we suffered hurricane damage and our table was destroyed, we were devastated. I reached out to Lorenzo to see if it could be remade. Not only did he get it remade but he made sure that the same artist worked on it so we could have our dream table exactly the way we remembered it. Lorenzo stayed in constant communication to make sure all of our needs were met. Lorenzo takes pride in his work and feels more like a family member than a businessman. I highly recommend this store and can’t wait to go back in person to see Lorenzo and buy something else to add to our household.

I absolutely love this ceramic store and the owner who is so professional i’m really cares about his customers. We purchased it 58 inch ceramic table from Lorenzo approximately four years ago which was shipped to the United States and delivered to our home. The process was so easy working with him choosing the proper colors for the table the design etc. When it came time to ship it couldn’t of gone any smoother. The table is absolutely beautiful. Every time we visit Positano we stop by his his store. This year because of Covid we were unable to visit his ceramic store so we have ordered several pieces of ceramics as gifts go the phone and I can tell you it couldn’t have gone any smoother. Everything came timely and each and every item is absolutely beautiful. The quality of merchandise is superior to other ceramic stores that I have been in and honestly Lorenzo the owner really cares about what he does.

I wish I had taken the time to read some of the negative reviews of this shop and its owner before I shopped here. As a bit of background, I have always shopped a lot when I travel and love having these purchases in my home. For over 30 years,I have never been tempted to write a bad review until now. I went to the Coast this summer with the intent to purchase a ceramic table similar to one I had purchased several years ago.
When we still had not received some of our order after almost three months,I reached out to the owner to let him know. I also was unhappy with the table purchased. His first response was that everything was sent I just must not have looked in the box. He then told me to send him the paperwork but he would not send the missing items as it would cost him 40-50 Euros. (My friends and I placed an order for $6,000 and were charged for insurance). He also then claimed the missing items were gifts to us so he didn’t need to send them. Note the custom orders were itemized (plaques with names on the, etc) The remaining items were generic and he didn’t itemize on the bill.
What is more disappointing is the quality of the table. The cost was $1,800 and samples in the shop were very nice. The table I got was very poor quality. The painted surface did not cover the edge of the table. There is an entire area that looks like an orange stripe from over 20 feet away. in other areas the edge of the table is blotchy I sent pictures and also pictures of the samples in the shop which show none of this type of imperfection . He then sent me a video of another table where you can also see the orange. This video appears shot from underneath the table so it is not the same thing.I did think it was funny that his defense of sloppy work was to say all his work is bad!(Note the other two we ordered were fine)
I will try to include pictures so people can judge for themselves. You take a leap of faith and have to trust that people are honest when shopping in a foreign country.
Fortunately, there is a community of travelers that can share information and steer people away from the bad actors that take advantage of visitors to their country that have little recourse.
I also concur with the opinions of many others who have posted. He is really a lunatic. He has left me (and my friends) numerous rambling voicemails, multiple texts at 3 in the morning,etc. He has told me I’m a bad person, that I’m rude,insane,etc.
There are so many wonderful shops in Italy. Stay far away from this one.

Good afternoon! My husband and I will be traveling to positano in early October. We plan to pick out a few pieces to have shipped home. I know cost will vary significantly but could I have a range? I'm specifically looking at a plate set. Something to remind me of our trip.
Also shipping costs. Is that based on weight?
thank you!

Ciao Kristen ,
Thanks for contacting .........and I'm assuming we will see each other on October 2017.....make sure you book now the $ is very strong at the moment.........
Back to your specific request on shipping costs....well it is not easy to determine effective shipping costs based on what you are asking . I could be more precise once I will have shipping details ( address with zip code), and quantity. I could probably help you in considering around 80/90 euros shipping costs for a 3 pieces place setting times 6 = 18 pieces total........I hope this helped to give you and idea.........of course please consider that some place settings are 30Euros some others are 195.00 euros per place setting........so.............below pls find all the infos to contact ,via mail by the way, would be the best:
