S'Agapo, one of my all-time favorite Greek restaurants in Astoria has changed management and they're now called Taverna Sofia. Although this happened some time ago, I haven't been in the 34th Avenue neighborhood and only recently was I able to check out the new place and grab a menu. Although I haven't heard much buzz about this place, I'm still curious to try it and see how it compares to the legendary S'Agapo. From the looks of it, they've updated some things such as the exterior. Below, you'll find a little taste of the menu for your convenience. If anyone has experience with this place, please feel free to share your thoughts.
