Feb. 20--Portillo's, a Chicago-style hot dog and hamburger restaurant, appears to be planning to open a Sterling Heights location that currently houses Andiamo Trattoria.

Site plans were submitted, according to the city, for 14425 Lakeside Circle with a proposal for a Portillo's restaurant that included a drive-through and an outdoor patio seating area. The building is on the perimeter of Lakeside Mall on Hall Road.

Both Portillo's and Andiamo(ANDI) were evasive when asked about the plans.

"Portillo's continues to explore new locations across the country, but we do not currently have plans for Sterling Heights to announce at this time," said Nick Scarpino, senior vice president of marketing and off-premise dining of Portillo's in an email to the Free Press.

Meanwhile, Joe Vicari, president of Joe Vicari Restaurant Group, which operates the various Andiamo(ANDI) restaurants in metro Detroit, had this to say:

"The restaurant has four years left on the lease. Andiamo(ANDI) will continue to operate business as usual for the foreseeable future."

Renderings submitted to the city list a 230-seat restaurant with 185 interior seats and 45 outside.

Melanie Davis, Sterling Heights community relations director, said the plan is scheduled to come before the city planning commission on March 11."

According to the company's website, Portillo's is known for its Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches and burgers, as well as chocolate cake.

Portillo's was founded by Dick Portillo in 1963. The chain has grown to more than 50 locations in several states. There are no locations in Michigan. Portillo's also has a catering arm that shops food to all 50 states.

Under the Joe Vicari Restaurant Group, Andiamo(ANDI) has locations in Bloomfield Hills, Clarkston, Dearborn, Detroit, Fenton, Livonia, Sterling Heights and Warren. An Andiamo(ANDI) is also located in Detroit Metropolitan Airport. A Royal Oak location closed in July 2018 after 19 years in operation. Vicari cited lack of parking as one the main reasons for its closure.
