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!

    Cassariano's was really busy and hopping last night but the food and service did not suffer. They had a lot of servers on duty that were working hard. They had the outside covered patio set up with many heaters and the screened sides of the patio kept the heat in very nicely. This is a great place to go for good Italian food.

    Busy restaurant but good ambiance and the food was very good. We had the seafood pasta and the swordfish which were both good. Our wait person was attentive. We ate late starting at 8pm and by 9pm the restaurant was almost empty.

    We had Andrew as our server, he was the best!!! He was very friendly, helpful and attentive. You could tell that he was knowledgeable and a truly nice person! The food was delicious and the presentation spot on.Everyone working there were just so nice! We would recommend Cassariano’s to anyone who wants to have a delicious dinner and a great staff taking care of them. You cannot go wrong in anything you order, the food is very good! We love the shrimp appetizer for starters. Thank you Andrew and staff for a beautiful evening.
