Popular Sarasota restaurant moving to new downtown location after 35 years

Thirty-five years after opening in the Mira Mar building in downtown Sarasota, Caragiulos Italian American eatery will soon be on the move. 

Pending administrative approvals, construction is tentatively scheduled to begin on the restaurant’s new location at 1833 Ringling Blvd. between Links Drive and Osprey Avenue in January 2024.

When complete, the restaurant will move out of its location in the Mira Mar building at 69 S. Palm Ave. Mira Mar was acquired by Seaward Development from Mark Kaufman in May 2023, and at the time announced no plans to demolish the structure. Kaufman also owns the site for the new Caragiulos location.
