The small retail center on the northwest corner of 53rd Avenue East and Caruso Road will soon welcome another restaurant into its community. Little Jo-To will open at 5911 53rd Ave. E.
What Now confirmed the news of the opening with a representative of Little Jo-To on Monday. The representative said the restaurant was still several months from opening but declined to comment further.
It is not yet known whether Little Jo-To is connected to Jo-To Steakhouse, the popular Sarasota restaurant that closed in May after being sold by owner Etsuko Teshima.
“JO-TO is an ancient Japanese word,” says the Jo-To Steakhouse website. “Translated, it means ‘excellent; the best; very high class.’”
Opening at 53rd and Caruso, Little Jo-To will join a food and drink community that includes Poblanos Mexican Grill & Bar, Morrone’s of Arthur Ave, and Papa John’s Pizza.
What Now is awaiting further information on Little Jo-To so stay tuned for updates on this upcoming restaurant in Bradenton.
