Cassariano – the perfect expression of passion and culinary art in the form of “Contemporary Italian Cuisine”.

The restaurant’s name is a combination of both partners last names; Luca Cassani and Antonio Pariano, both born and raised in Northern Italy. After years working together in the restaurant business both Luca & Antonio made the decision to venture out on their own and open Cassariano Italian Eatery.

Driven by their strong passion for food and a deep love for their profession, these partners prepare authentic contemporary Italian cuisine while cultivating a casual, relaxed atmosphere for their patrons.

Cassariano is the perfect blend of Bistro flavors and fine cuisine. We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

    Food was good, pretty noisy though. Two of us had the pasta bolognese and 2 of us had different type raviolis. One had the special veal ravioli and I had the pear/gorgonzola ravioli. The only disappointment was the couple chunks of pear, that were thrown on top, were cold. I just didn't expect that! We'll go back for sure.

    Food was excellent but waitress was inattentive! Had to call her over for additional drinks with dinner. She checked how our dinner was when we called her over but hadn’t before that. I had noted in the reservation that it was a birthday celebration. I was not expecting a freebie, just an acknowledgment of the occasion but got nothing. Pretty disappointed as everything has been much better in the past!

    Our server, Anthony, was personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. As always, the food and ambience matched the service at a high level. The food value was good, although the drinks are pricey by comparison. We will regularly return as the food is some of the best Italian cuisine in this market.
