About a year after beloved restaurant Café Marie-Jeanne closed, a restaurant from a burgeoning hospitality group is opening in the cafe’s vintage storefront, the first step in the group’s plan to bring the once-vibrant Humboldt Park corner back to life.
Orbit Group has transformed the Café Marie-Jeanne spot at 1001 N. California Ave. into Segnatore, a restaurant serving Italian-meets-Midwestern fare. With only city approvals left to secure, the group aims to open the eatery and bar next month. A firm opening date has not been set yet. Check the restaurant’s website and Instagram for the announcement.
