Sibaritas Owner Plans Second Resturaunt at 41 North

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The owner of Sibaritas plans to open a new restaurant in the former Jay Allen's Clubhouse Grille. 

On Monday, the Licensing Board approved a change of category, a change of corporate name, a change of corporate structure, and a change of name for 41 North St.  

Attorney Darren Lee, representing the applicant, explained that Sibaritas owner Megan Gomez is opening a second restaurant in the large, empty restaurant space next to Hot Harry's. 

Gomez is now the 100 percent owner of Sibaritas, he reported, as well as the new venture. The "doing business as" name on the application is "Aura." 

The location most recently housed Placita Latina Salvadoran and Mexican Cuisine, which moved to 17 Wendell Ave. Ext. Jay Allen's closed before the pandemic. 

The attorney wasn't able to share much about the upcoming business, but noted that Gomez works "quite a bit" and will be able to balance the nearby eateries.  

Sibaritas, an Italian restaurant with a Chilean flair, opened in 2021 in the former Elizabeth's Restaurant at 1264 East St. In 2024, the Licensing Board approved a new annual downtown all-alcohol restaurant license for the eatery's new location at 27 McKay St., the former Trattoria Rustica. 

Sibaritas remains in that location.
