Mr. Tuna will be taking over the former Solo Cucina market (photo on left) in South Portland. They will be using the space as a production kitchen and headquarters for their mobile food and catering/private events business.
Separately, Mr. Tuna is making good progress on the buildout of their Middle Street restaurant (photo on right). They hope to open sometime in May. The new restaurant will seat 26 overall—a 14-seat bar and banquet table seating in the front windows. Sidewalk outdoor seating will be available as well.
The Mr. Tuna location in Monument Square will be closing in March in anticipation of the move to Middle Street and South Portland.
Solo Cucina was opened by the owners of Solo Italiano on March 25, 2020, and it closed in January 2024.
