Charming
Neighborhood gem
Great for fine wines

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.

What a delightful experience dining at Pietro’s for the first time! The restaurant is very cozy making you feel like you’re in an Italian bistro in Italy. All of the staff were extremely welcoming making you feel at home. The chef owner even comes to the table and chats with you. The food was very good and the portion sizes were perfect. Will definitely return!

Pietro’s relocated restaurant (from his former restaurant on S. Tamiami Trail) is beautiful with wine shelfs, pictures and small ceiling lights adding eloquently to a great dining experience. The lamb chops were especially outstanding, and the eggplant parmigiana was very good. The entire layout of the dining room is tastefully done showing off the designer talents of his wife, Susan.

I love it but don’t really want everyone to know how great it is so I won’t be able to get in - it’s basic Italian but their Chicken Parmesan is amazing!

This was our first time to the new location in Sarasota. We always went to the previous location. It was very quaint and decorated very nicely. The service was great! The food was exceptionally good this time. The owner gave us a taste of his homemade wine which was terrific! We had an enjoyable dinner. Can’t wait to return
