"Obviously, the fire forced our hand to close, which was a huge bummer; we still think about the restaurant all the time," Goldberg says.
"Balena’s rustic approach to Italian food, built around wood-fired elements, distinguished the restaurant from others," says Boka COO Ian Goldberg.
"Diners can taste Balena's influence in Logan Square; they won't serve Balena's signature pizza, but dishes like tagliolini nero and orecchiette are on the menu."
"Balena will pop up from January 19 through January 26 at Boka's River North private event space, the Wellsley, for a limited engagement."
