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.

    A real taste of Italy with wines made and bottled in Italy by chef owner Peter. I enjoyed the biggest and best Veal Parm I have ever eaten. The staff is warm and welcoming. I can't wait to return.

    We enjoyed our experience in the food was so delicious. We love the ambience because it reminded us very intimate places that we have been in New York City and we just totally enjoyed our entire night with our family.

    The piccata fish was slightly undercooked. Otherwise, the food was very good, and the bread was absolutely excellent.
