In October, OnMilwaukee's Jeff Sherman started a dialogue regarding where Joey Buona's, 500 N. Water St., should move after the Italian restaurant's lease was up. Today, it was announced that after 14 years the eatery is closed, but there will be a new location.
Bob Maldonado of Joey Buona's says it's not time to disclose where, but confirmed they were looking in the "Milwaukee area." He also released the following statement:
"Due to our current expiring lease agreement, we have closed our doors at our current location permanently. We truly appreciate all of the support we have received from our loyal guests and from the city of Milwaukee ... On behalf of Joey’s Restaurant we want to thank you all for visiting and look to invite you back to our new location coming soon."
Stay tuned to OnMilwaukee for more information when it becomes available.
