Experience Caragiulos and Why They Have Been a Florida Staple for Nearly Three Decades

As a 2015 Certificate of Excellence Winner, Caragiulos is a destination that everyone visiting stunning Sarasota, Florida simply has to experience. Tony Caragiulo and his boys found the fabulous stucco building while spending weeks in exhaustive searches for the perfect site to bring American-Italian cuisine to the people of Florida. They found the location on 69 South Palm Avenue in 1989 and have been a staple in the community since. The wood and brick interior puts off an ambiance that combined with the mosaic tile floors and large windows immediately relaxes visitors who come to converse and enjoy innovative Italian dishes.

With fresh baked bread, biscotti and homemade mozzarella, the Caragiulos believe in using the finest products they can find in their tantalizing dishes like Linguine & Cedar Key Clams. They pair handmade pasta with fresh catches of the day and add flavors like garlic cloves and white wines to create a dish that is something to talk about during the meal. Guests say that visiting the restaurant reminds them of eating dinner at a family member’s home with a welcoming feel and a laid back atmosphere where you can get to know the Caragiulo family and experience their charming personalities.
