About this restaurant

  • Charming

Your host Roberto Ercolani comes to Sarasota from Rome, Italy, bringing the best and most delicious authentic Italian dishes to this area. He has been in the restaurant business since his youth. As co-owner of CasAntica, Roberto provides a refined and unique Italian culinary boutique atmosphere.
The restaurant occupies a 1926 historic home nestled among the trees on the edge of downtown Sarasota. Patrons may choose indoor or outdoor dining (weather permitting), always the perfect setting... exclusive, romantic and intimate.
Message from Roberto: “At CasAntica each and every dish is prepared upon request with tender loving care. Our food is not pre-cooked, ensuring the highest quality and fresh flavor every time. We strive to provide only the freshest meals for our patrons... We are confident that you will be delighted with our outstanding dishes and warm atmosphere!”

    From the serving staff, the manager and to the chef, all of them were/are so pleasant, accommodating and friendly. The food is always amazing. It feels like a little slice of Italy cocooned in a very busy Sarasota town. Highly recommend for all occasions.

    One of the most reasonably priced, quality Italian restaurants in Sarasota. The ambiance of the small country house atmosphere is charming, the homemade pastas delicious, and very, very reasonably priced. One of our go-to places.

    The food was excellent. As usual , I had the Chicken Marsala (prepared without dairy) with the homemade pasta. The chicken was tender and the Marsala sauce was delicious! My wife had the Lobster Ravioli - she assured me it was excellent!

    We had a wonderful dinner. We felt like we stepped into someone’s home in Italy, treated as friends, and were served a delicious meal.

    Miryana was an excellent server as she always is. The veal saltimboca was EXCELLENT and our request for service to be a little speedier to make our FST curtain was graciously accommodated.

    Cas Antica‘s authentic marinara sauce is as good as it gets. The bruschetta is excellent.
