Caragiulos Italian American

Since this iconic Sarasota Italian restaurant is moving to their new location soon, I had to dine in one more time! The old spot will be missed💔 As usual the food didn't disappoint! We ordered the meatball appetizer, (gone before i could take a picture lol ) 3 delicious meatballs topped with ricotta and house made marinara. I highly recommend that dish! Then for dinner we ordered 2 ravioli meals, one with Bolognese sauce and the other as it comes and Angel hair topped with Bolognese and meatballs, everything was fresh and so delicious! It reminded me of my late fathers cooking. Then for dessert we had the Spumoni Sundae and oh my! Another must have! (Also not pictured!) Looking forward to seeing you guys again in your new place! Thank you for the great times over the years! Also our server was awesome!

This was my second visit here…. My first visit a couple of years ago wasn’t worthy of a positive review because the service that time was horrible… but I gave them a second chance today as I wanted to take advantage of their summer bogo36 offer. This visit was much better, greeted and sat quickly, our server was very nice and attentive and the food was great! The one thing I do love about this location is its charm and atmosphere… I just hope that the new location will be the same. Based on this visit I will be back!

Sooo Caragiulo’s Italian American was on my list for our Sarasota visit and I’m glad we went. I love some good Italian food, and they did not disappoint. The restaurant had that classic Italian vibe, but the real star was the food. Everything was flavorful without feeling too heavy, and we left happy and full. If you’re in the area, definitely add this spot to your list. What was ordered: Lasagna Al Forno = light yet filling
