The Soto Group, which owns a contemporary Japanese restaurant in Cedar Park, will take over the former CANTINE Italian Cafe & Bar in the Lamar Union Shopping Center at 1100 S. Lamar Blvd., Austin. A name for the restaurant has not been decided yet.

Featuring a mix of dishes from the Cedar Park restaurant and new menu items, the restaurant will open sometime in mid-August or early October. www.sotoaustin.com
