About the Business

Specialties

For more than 24 years, the Caragiulo brothers have been entertaining Sarasota locals with their unique formula; simple and inviting Italian-American recipes made with fresh, local flavors. The bread is baked on the premises each morning. The mozzarella is made fresh. The biscotti is still baked by Mrs. Caragiulo herself. Eating here is more like a gathering in the home of a good friend; comfortable & memorable.

History

Established in 1989.

Caragiulos became one of Sarasota's most popular eateries in much the same way the family found the cozy storefront on Palm Avenue, with... ease. From his bakery in Brooklyn, Tony Caragiulo and his five sons came to Florida in pursuit of an agreeable location to open a simple Italian restaurant. After an exhausting, two week long car trek around Florida with no prospects and tempers flaring, Tony signaled for the car to pull over; "Stoppa the*#!*#!!!!car!,... This is it," he declared, pointing to the vacant stucco location... And it was.
