About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Charming
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.

    I have lived in Sarasota for 30+ years & eat out often. In the past I also stayed in Italy for months at a time. I can tell you Pietro's is absolutely the very best Italian restaurant in Sarasota. The food is exceptional, high quality, authentic Italian cuisine. Pietro is the BEST Italian chef around, better than all the other "top" Italian restaurant chef, many of whom I know well. Hey, Pietro is from Ischia. He's Italian!

    Dining at Pietro's is like being with an old friend. We have been enjoying the family's restaurants since Gabbiano on Siesta Key 20 years ago. It is amazing how they remember all of their customers and greet them by name. The food is creative and outstanding and serves as standard for all other Italian restaurants in town!

    The best restaurants get even the simplest things right. The bread, the arugula salad, the house white wine were all excellent, and the seafood entrees we ordered were as well. My only caution would be to ask the price of the evening specials, as they are significantly higher than the items on the regular menu.
