About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Italian Restaurant& wine bar in Sarasota. Where you are a stranger only once.
His philosophy served him well with his previous Sarasota businesses. Café Gabbiano located on Siesta Key was originated by the Migliaccio family in 2003 where is four sons grew in and out of the restaurant business.
A second venture in downtown Sarasota was opened and designed by Pietro in 2012 named Casantica, a small old house converted to a quaint homey restaurant. Both restaurants are now under new ownership.
Now, this small intimate place is where I can have fun serving and meeting new friends. Benvenuti.

    The food here is terrific, and perhaps the best restaurant in Sarasota for good, old fashioned Italian dining. Pietro, the owner and chef is delightful.

    We ended up eating at the bar which was fun. Food was excellent - I had spaghetti carbonara which was probably the best I’ve ever had. My husband had a veal chop which he liked a lot. Got to meet the owners(husband and wife). They were very gracious and we will definitely be going back!

    Very noisy… Over priced- asked to add anchovies to salad and was charged 3$ for ONE anchovy! Octopus appetizer was 28$????? Lasagna and eggplant Parmesan were very good.
