In the first partnership of the City of Highland Park’s (the City) new boutique incentive program designed to attract well-established, successful restaurant groups to Highland Park,
the City and Ballyhoo Hospitality (Ballyhoo) have entered into an agreement that will see Ballyhoo’s DeNucci’s concept open a new restaurant in Downtown Highland Park.

This month, we’re thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of DeNucci’s Italian in Highland Park! This project was a true collaborative effort, requiring exceptional coordination and problem-solving from our dedicated team. Led by Project Manager Bud Kerwin (“Hey, I’m Bud with Klasik”), our skilled crew, trade partners, and vendors worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life. Constructing a restaurant is a unique challenge, involving multiple stakeholders and intricate details to manage. From collaborating with the Ballyhoo team to ensuring every design element aligned with their operational needs, our team navigated the complexities with professionalism and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

The result? A beautifully crafted space that has received rave reviews and drawn enthusiastic crowds. We’re incredibly proud to have played a role in bringing this vibrant dining experience to the Highland Park community.
