About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
Cassariano – the perfect expression of passion and culinary art in the form of “Contemporary Italian Cuisine”.

The restaurant’s name is a combination of both partners last names; Luca Cassani and Antonio Pariano, both born and raised in Northern Italy. After years working together in the restaurant business both Luca & Antonio made the decision to venture out on their own and open Cassariano Italian Eatery.

Driven by their strong passion for food and a deep love for their profession, these partners prepare authentic contemporary Italian cuisine while cultivating a casual, relaxed atmosphere for their patrons.

Cassariano is the perfect blend of Bistro flavors and fine cuisine. We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

    Food was outstanding. Portions very large and enough for two people. Very good singer was there on Sunday evening making our dinner more enjoyable. First time there and will definitely return.

    Jamie was not attentive. Had ask for bread, then for water. Asked for Parmesan when I got my meal 15 minutes later still waiting. Had to ask someone else to get our waitress. Then she blamed the kitchen server for not bringing it with the food. I had asked her for it. Food was excellent. Service around us by other waiters was excellent. Not ours. Totally forgot us. Not good experience

    Great experience tonight for an early birthday meal. Service and food were excellent. Restaurant is a very classy place. Wine wall is really nice. We started off with Eggplant and Burrata with prosciutto. For dinner, seafood pasta, gnocchi and pappardelle with bolognese. Dinner was rounded out with Panna Cotta and Chocolate mousse.

    If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine, Cassariano is the real deal. The food was absolutely outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every dish we tried felt like it came straight from Italy. The service was top-notch as well: attentive, friendly, and professional without being overbearing. Cassariano is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates real Italian food done right. We’ll definitely be back!

    Pleasant evening. Excellent service and food and our foursome tried a wide variety of entrees - from pastas to duck and veal as well as desserts ( profiterole and mousse). Thank you.

    What a memorable and delicious evening we had at Cassarianos. We had the branzino and the almond crusted grouper. Both meals were outstanding, this remains one of our favorite resturants in all of Sarasota and Bradenton.
