Caragiulos- Essentially Sarasota

The Caragiulo Family’s commitment to Sarasota began nearly thirty years ago when father and sons traveled here, founding a uniquely styled Italian-American dining experience. We continue to welcome dinners with the twin hospitalities of Old World and Floridian charms. Try Mama Caragiulo’s biscotti, and you’ll know what we mean.

Similarly, our menus uniquely marry Italian heritage with the bounties of our Sarasota home. In addition to making our own bread and mozzarella, we proudly feature locally sourced ingredients such as Sweetgrass Farms produce and Cedar Key clams. At Caragiulos, you can even request gluten-free crust for your pizza.

Ask our regulars- Caragiulos is essential to any Sarasota outing. Some count a Caragiulos desert selection as the piece de resistance of their downtown shopping spree. Many return every holiday season for family dinner parties. Everyone knows Caragiulos is the best place to meet friends for launching a Saturday Night in Sarasota. After your next stroll along the Bay, come cool off at our famous bar with a Giuseppe Palmer (or another of our signature cocktails), and you’ll become family too. Salute!
