The story
Casamì Italian Bistrot has earned its place among Sarasota's most respected dining destinations, recognized by Gambero Rosso — Italy's foremost food and wine authority — with 2 Forks in its 2025 guide. That distinction, rarely awarded to Italian restaurants outside Italy itself, speaks to the kitchen's commitment to authenticity.
Located at 1272 N Palm Avenue, Casamì brings the spirit of an Italian bistrot to the Gulf Coast of Florida. The name and the Gambero Rosso recognition together signal a kitchen that holds itself to a standard rooted in Italian tradition rather than adaptation for the American palate.
For diners in Sarasota looking for Italian food that earns international credibility, Casamì Italian Bistrot stands apart. The 2025 Gambero Rosso acknowledgment is a rare mark of quality for a restaurant operating outside Italy, and a reliable signal that the cooking here is the real thing.
