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!

From the greeting at the front door to signing the check, Cassariano’s was a great experience. The food is of high quality, presented beautifully and very flavorful. The staff, as always, was professional but friendly; knowledgeable of the menu and food prep; willing to keep the patrons happy.

Always our go-to place when we're in the mood for great food, great service, and great atmosphere. I guess that means we go there a lot! My wife had veal and I had the special pork shank. I can't understand why some places always under deliver, but Cassariano always over delivers. Never had a bad time here. Highly recommend!
Cassariano Italian Eatery Lakewood RanchResponded on September 13, 2023
Hi Donald, We're honored to be your go-to spot and are delighted that both the veal and pork shank hit the mark. Our goal is always to exceed expectations and it's wonderful to know we're achieving that. Thank you for your continuous support and glowing recommendation. We eagerly await your next visit!

Amazing birthday celebration for my husband. Krystal was an excellent wait person and the food was the best. Being from San Francisco we have had some pretty fantastic food and last nights food surpassed it. The polenta appetizer rocked and my ahi was perfection.
Cassariano Italian Eatery Lakewood RanchResponded on September 7, 2023
First off, a big "Happy Birthday!" to your husband! We're absolutely delighted that you chose us to celebrate your special occasion. Hearing that our food surpassed some of the fantastic experiences you've had in San Francisco is a tremendous compliment. Thank you! Krystal will be so pleased to hear of your positive remarks. I'll be sure to pass along your praise. We hope to see you again soon, whether it's another birthday or just a night out!

As with our previous visits, Cassariano does not disappoint. Food was excellent, service was very good. This was the first time we sat inside the dining room; in the past we've always eaten on the patio. Both are lovely. We brought friends for their first visit. I'm sure all will be back.

Dinner felt very rushed. No time to relax and enjoy our drinks. Salad and dinner was brought out within 20 mins of ordering dinner was done in less than an hour. The singer and music was to loud for the space, couldn’t really talk to each other.

August 4th was our 50th Wedding Anniversary and we chose Cassariano’s to celebrate. Our Server (Kendra) was outstanding as she attended to us…giving us time to celebrate, talk and enjoy the evening. The entree’s were both superb and the wine (Chieteno / Toscana) being our favorite, was enjoyed throughout the evening. All-in-all, we were treated to a great evening to usher in our next 50 years! Thank You! Ken and Marilyn
