About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    Enjoyed the wonderful food and wine at Pietro’s. The Octopus appetizer was very good and we all enjoyed the entrees as well. A fun evening with friends that had not previously been there. We will all certainly be back.
