Minori — ancient 'Reghinna Minor' — has been a place of pleasure and indulgence since Roman times, thanks to its mild climate and gentle topography. The devastating 1954 flood destroyed much of the old center, giving it a more modern look than its neighbors. But what matters here is taste: Minori has a centuries-old pasta tradition (the town was full of water mills) and is home to Salvatore De Riso, whose ricotta-and-pear cake put this village on the world pastry map. Flatter and more family-friendly than most Amalfi Coast towns.
