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.

    We have spent long times in Italia & can tell you the food at Pietro's is the very best, authentic Italian food in Sarasota. Pietro is a real Italian from the Island of Iscia. Besides being a great chef, Pietro is also very personable & a wonderful host. Also, great service & atmosphere. We love this restaurant.

    We’ve dined at Pietro’s several times. The new venue is quite small but nothing else has changed. The food and service are excellent and Pietro makes the rounds at each table several times. Definitely recommend!

    A terrific place to feel at home, eat authentically, and sample good wine. Peter, his family, and the team have created a wonderful resource for Italian dining.
