Arigato Japanese Steakhouse, LLC, a restaurant with three locations in the Tampa Bay area, including a popular location in the Carrollwood area, has permanently closed its doors, according to Eric Snider with the Tampa Bay Business Journal. The restaurant was founded in 1971 and has been in the Tampa Bay area since 1978.
Mark Douglas with WFLA quotes Arigato’s owner, Dale Del Bello, as stating that he is “currently working very hard and doing everything in [his] power to make good by everyone we are in debt to.” See “Arigato’s owner saddened by his restaurant closures in Clearwater and St. Petersburg.” While this is an admirable quote from the owner, it is likely a hollow promise based on recent filings with the bankruptcy court in Tampa.
