About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • 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.

    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.

    Our first visit to their new location and upon arrival we were greeted not as customers but as friends! The service, food and ambiance makes Pietro’s our favorite restaurant on our visits to Sarasota.

    An outstanding meal. The veal chop parmigiana was certainly the finest tasting and most tender veal I have had in over 50 years of Italian dining. Great atmosphere and extremely pleasant staff.

    The food was excellent. The service was great but the server's English could have been somewhat better. That, combined with the noise level made it a challenge to understand the specials.

    Pietro's gives the feeling of eating at your friends home. It has a unique welcoming and comfortable feeling. The food is wonderful and the wine selection offers bottles not found anywhere. Overall, this place can't be beat.
