A restaurant offering Greek and Italian dishes is planning to open in the Genoa Pizza building located at 125 S. Main Street in Burlington.
Angelo Douros and his father, John Douros, appeared before the village board to discuss the opening of Main Street Grill and to seek approval for outdoor seating.
Angelo Douros said the project has been on hold while the owner awaits approval from the building code inspector to install a new hood over the oven. Once that is approved, Douros said work on the roof, the front of the building and completion of the interior setup will be swift.
Douros said he intends to serve homemade gyros, pizza and other Italian cuisine along with daily sandwich and dinner specials. He said the restaurant is intended to be a casual dining spot that will accommodate 40 people in the dining room and at about five tables along the sidewalk on Center Street.
Douros said he plans to apply for a liquor license so that he may offer beer and wine. Board members cautioned Douros that no alcohol could be served in the outdoor area.
Initial hours for the eatery will be from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily, with lunch service added as soon as possible. If all approvals are received, the Main Street Grill is slated to open within six weeks.
