Cassariano – the perfect expression of passion and culinary art in the form of “Contemporary Italian Cuisine”.

The restaurant’s name is a combination of both partners last names; Luca Cassani and Antonio Pariano, both born and raised in Northern Italy. After years working together in the restaurant business both Luca & Antonio made the decision to venture out on their own and open Cassariano Italian Eatery.

Driven by their strong passion for food and a deep love for their profession, these partners prepare authentic contemporary Italian cuisine while cultivating a casual, relaxed atmosphere for their patrons.

Cassariano is the perfect blend of Bistro flavors and fine cuisine. We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

    We had a reservation but one was not needed. Our waiter, name was not very attentive we got wine from connoisseur, daughter wanted a drink, but he was nowhere to be found. We saw other tables getting bread we had to ask to find our waiter to get the drink for daughter and bread. Then he disappeared again. It was not busy not sure where he kept going to. We finally ordered our meals, my daughter and I shared a meal spaghetti and veal meatballs, the meatballs were very dry and tasteless. Pasta sauce was also tasteless. We not be coming back anytime soon.

    The best Italian restaurant in Lakewood Ranch. Sundays are especially grand when Sarah is singing and playing her music - you won’t be disappointed!

    I love this restaurant. My only suggestion is that when the restaurant is not filled , seat couples away from the bar. It was so loud that we could not talk to each other. We could have asked to move but it would have been obvious to the bar crowd . They have a right to drink & enjoy themselves . It would have been nice to seat us in one of the empty tables where we could enjoy each others company . Food & Service were excellent as always .

    The service was terrible and the food was flavorless. We were regulars and won’t be going back.

    Food was wonderful and the service attentive. Noise (with the restaurant half full) was a little loud but no more so than in other restaurants that were not purpose built as a restaurant. Overall though a pleasant dining experience and I’ll likely return.
