Summary

The Sheffield Board of Selectmen approved Dopamine LLC (Roberto's Pizza) for an expanded dining area, a small bar, and a change from a beer‑and‑wine license to an all‑alcohol license at 313 Main Street after a short public hearing and neighbor support.

The Sheffield Selectmen on Oct. 15 approved a license alteration and interior expansion for Dopamine LLC doing business as Roberto’s Pizza at 313 Main Street.

At the public hearing, the applicant described adding space for about 45 additional seats and a small bar area. The applicant said the bar would "primarily [serve] beer and wine" and that he did not intend to pursue an extensive cocktail program; he also noted planned closing hours of about 10 p.m. A nearby neighbor, Julie Hannam, identified herself as moderator of the Old Parish Church and said the church — one of the restaurant's nearest neighbors — had no objection and supports the transfer.

After brief public comment, a selectman moved to approve the application to extend the dining area and change the license category to allow all alcohol beverages; the motion was seconded and the board approved, saying they would sign the permit.

What this means: Roberto’s Pizza may expand indoor seating and formally convert its license to allow all alcoholic beverages; the licensee and the town indicated operating hours and an intention to keep offerings modest. The board did not add conditions beyond the standard permitting and licensing steps.

Next steps: The board indicated staff would sign and issue the permit following the meeting. Any further licenses, inspections, or permit requirements (e.g., for the bar area) will follow normal town and state licensing processes.
