Let’s get some initial questions about Tesoro, the newly revamped Italian eatery on Harlow Street in Bangor that reopened under new ownership this week after three months closed, out of the way first. Yes, it still offers pizza, pasta and carafes of wine. Yes, there’s still classic diner-style seating in the front room. And yes, nearly 25 years after original owners Rocco and Fortunata Agrusa first opened the downtown Bangor restaurant, Tesoro will for the first time take credit and debit cards. 

Aside from that, there’s lots that’s new about Tesoro 2.0 — from the newly constructed bar offering classic and signature cocktails, to a new appetizer and salad menu, to a large, colorful mural painted along a wall by local artist Valerie Wallace.
