Maguro sushi restaurant first opened its doors as “Masago sushi” mid 2017 in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. Devastated by the impacts of hurracaine Irma & Maria we decided to embark on a journey that led us to Orlando FL. After years of hard work on July 2021 we opened our doors to our Florida mall location. Serving tapas style, Latin Asian fusion cuisine, Chef Jose Joubert makes sure to incorporate a little bit of culture in every bite.

    Absolutely incredible experience! Our wait staff, Julian, Miguel and Santana were amazing. The food was 10/10, service was impeccable and we were treated so kindly from start to finish. It was for my mom’s birthday and they made her feel so special. Can’t wait to return next year!!

    THANK YOU Nick for the amazing service last night! Last night was extremely busy and hectic, but thank you for never making us feel like we were not taken care of. Another amazing meal at Vito’s chophouse! The best steakhouse in Florida! We are sad to see that the Tomahawk for two has been removed off the menu! Thank you so much Nick for managing to get one of the last Tomahawks for us last night! We are so in shock that the Tomahawk for two has been removed off the menu because, for us, it has been the pièce de résistance of Vito’s. This plate is the reason why we come to Vito’s! Since 2006 we have been frequent visitors to Vito’s and now it feels like something is going to be missing…. Very disappointing! What am I suppose to order now?!
