Balagio Ristorante, an Italian restaurant and banquet hall that has been open in Homewood since 1997, plans to open a second location in Mokena next month. The restaurant is remodeling the former Scrementi's Italian Grill at 9716 W. 191st St. in Mokena's The Boulevard shopping center that closed last year.
