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.

    Our experience was superb! We enjoyed happy hour pricing on drinks and bar bites, followed by a delicious dinner. Connor’s offers a great value, with each entree including a side and salad or soup. The service was outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed Larissa’s service. She was extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant, friendly, and attentive. We topped the night off with a dessert to go, strawberry shortcake with ice cream, yum! Would definitely recommend.

    Wanting to have outdoor seating for lunch brought us to Libby’s. Unique cocktails (purple cactus), delicious food (Crabby Patty was crispy & scrumptious) & comes with a side salad, and knowledgeable staff make it worthwhile.

    The sauces were excellent, though the pasta a little too “robust” (thick) compared to what we have been accustomed to have in Italy. Wine list very good. No deserts suitable for lactose intolerant diners, but the pistachio crème brûlée was declared the “best ever”, by the non lactose intolerant member of the party. Overall, however, a lovely dining experience…the atmosphere and service were perfect.
