While it has seemed that the opening of MP Taverna on Ditmars has taken a while, we are certain that they are opening tomorrow, Monday, April 22. That’s because we saw this sign taped on their front windows, after hearing about it from both a user on Astorians.com and from a tweet by Adam Kuban.

We stopped by to confirm, and saw the sign for ourselves:

Yep, they’re opening tomorrow

The building looks fantastic, too – such a difference from the old Mezzo Mezzo. As a reminder, here is a Google Street View image for the former restaurant:

And here is what it looks like now from about the same spot – the corner of Ditmars and 33rd Street.

Here’s the building as it goes along 33rd Street – to me it seems to go quite a ways back.

We look forward to checking it out this week and will report back on our experience. If you go soon, please let us know what you think!
