Ceramiche D'Arte Pascal, Ravello

We found this fabulous shop when we were shopping in Ravello in October of 2016. We were staying in Positano and noticed that many of the restaurants served meals on colorful ceramic plates with animal designs. We were on a mission to find some and bring them back to Boston to remind us of our wonderful vacation on the Amalfi coast. We went into many shops in Positano and Ravello that had these types of plates, but Ceramiche d'Arte Pascal had the best selection. We ordered 12 plates, some bowls, serving platters, a pitcher, and several other pieces. The shop shipped everything out immediately and the box was waiting for us when we got home. We decided to order more pieces about a year later, including latte cups and saucers and a few more plates. A couple of the plates broke enroute, and the shop replaced them immediately for free. Our latest shipment of pieces arrived today, and I am so happy. I needed an additional 4 dinner plates and 20 dessert plates for my father's 90th birthday party coming up in May. The shop had many of the pieces I requested in stock, but some needed to be made up. Everything turned out beautifully. We have entertained with our special animal-themed dinnerware over the years, and people always comment about how pretty they are. We are very appreciative of the quality and beauty of these ceramic pieces, as well as the customer service from Ceramiche d'Arte Pascal. Thank you Madalina and team.

We were on a mission in Ravello: to find a replacement for one of the four pasta bowls our daughter and son-in-law had purchased on their honeymoon in 2008! I visited another shop, where the ceramics were perfectly nice. But nothing caught my eye; and the proprietor kept following me around. Next stop: Ceramiche D'Arte Pascal. I felt that I was getting a peek into heaven. So many stunning one-of-a-kind designs, superb workmanship and quality. Just breathtaking. And sure enough, I found bowls that matched my daughter's set. Plus, I wanted to choose gifts for other family members and something special for myself. There were so many choices. The variety of spectacular designs is simply beyond compare. The staff couldn't have been nicer. They let me look around to my heart's content yet were available to answer questions. They let me set aside the items I was considering. I chose traditional pasta bowls to add to the "honeymoon" set, whimsical bowls of a very different design for our grandchildren, Christmas ornaments, a beautiful platter (for us!), key fobs for our nieces (who had just gotten their drivers' licenses). We found prices to be more than reasonable, especially with shipping. We were in Ravello three days and every single day, I went back to Ceramiche D'Arte Pascal. It was like visiting an art museum. My husband enjoyed sitting on the bench outside and visiting with the other men, waiting for their wives. By the time we left, we felt that the lovely family that owned the shop were our friends! Best of all: Weeks later, when our shipment arrived (Italy to California): everything was in perfect condition, and just as beautiful as we remembered. There were even a couple of extra items I requested to be added via email; I had never seen them, and they were exactly right! NOTE: Here is my husband John with Pasquale Sorrentino, owner and designer. Plus a few pictures of SOME of the ceramics I loved. We did not buy EVERYTHING shown here! But we wanted to!

Ravello is a sleepy town when it's after 9 pm. I was luckily able to stumble upon this shop on my way back to the square. I had a great time visiting and looking around. There were a lot of ceramics that were expertly crafted and designed. I wish I had spent more time just looking at everything. There are a lot of variety of styles, and if you're still unsatisfied, just customize your own. I found a peculiar looking candle holder that I ended up buying. I definitely will come back so I could collaborate my own set of dishes.

During a visit to Ravello in 2015 we ordered this beautiful table for the porch of our home in theLakes Region of New Hampshire. Pascal was very helpful choosing this piece and reassured us that it would arrive back in the US a few months. True to his word the beautiful table arrived one day carefully nestled in a very large box with lots of folded cardboard cradling every edge. I redecorated my porch around this beautiful table and feel like a little piece of the Amalfi coast is here in northern New Hampshire.

We visited Ravello and purchased a beautiful fine art vase. The vase was shipped to ISRAEL and arrived within 4 days in perfect condition. We are very satisfied, and recommend visiting PASCAL s.r.l at Ravello.
