About the Business

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.

Established in 1989.
