Part of Ballyhoo Hospitality

It was so nice that we did it twice. Expanding from our founding DeNucci's in Lincoln Park, we opened our second location in Highland Park November 2024.

Join our team at DeNucci's, where we pay homage to the Italian-American culinary tradition while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for our guests. Inspired by the 1920s Italian migration to America, our menu features classic dishes such as Eggplant Parmesan, Branzino Picatta, Veal Marsala. We also offer New York-influenced pizza using a beloved recipe by Salvatore “Sal” Lo Cascio. Our Speciale del Giorno showcases nightly specials reminiscent of nonna's cooking, including Lasagna Bolognese, Pappardelle Genovese, and Sunday's Chicken Scarpariello. We are seeking passionate individuals to join our team and contribute to our focused wine and spirits program as we continue to strive to delight our guests.
