"At the Cushman Concepts restaurants O Ya, Hojoko, and Bianca, employees will also remain masked until at least June 15, at which point a decision will be made whether to extend that policy." - Terrence Doyle

"Chestnut Hill newcomer Bianca (from the folks behind O Ya and Hojoko) is offering several different holiday menus — including prime rib, maple ham, and rotisserie chicken — but it’s the sushi and pizza combination ($80), which comes with three sushi rolls and a half sheet pan pizza courtesy of Bianca’s takeout pizzeria Mr. Roni Cups, that most screams New Year’s Eve party. Orders must be placed online by December 27 and can be picked up at Bianca on December 31 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m." - Terrence Doyle

"Bianca, located at the Street Chestnut Hill, offers a 'family-friendly restaurant' experience with a diverse menu that includes sushi rolls, crispy nori sushi tacos, Roman pizza, rotisserie chicken, house-made pastas, and burgers. The restaurant is designed to transport diners to far-off places with its 'cosmic continental' theme, incorporating elements of old-school continental cuisine and otherworldly decor. The restaurant, designed in collaboration with Kaplan Thompson Architects, Whitlock Design Group, and Cafco Construction, provides indoor and outdoor dining options, takeout, and a private room for events. It is open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday with plans for weekend brunch." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"Tim and Nancy Cushman — the duo behind the Leather District’s high-end sushi spot O Ya and Fenway’s beloved izakaya Hojoko — opened Bianca (47 Boylston St., Chestnut Hill) back in November." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"Bianca, a neighborhood restaurant serving 'cosmic continental' cuisine, is set to open soon. When Bianca ultimately opens, it will have wood-fired pizza on the menu. Stay tuned for more details on Bianca and what exactly 'cosmic continental' cuisine is." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
