Here's the juiciest news from Eater Boston this week...

NORTH END—Quattro is now the newest addition to the DePasquale Group's lineup of Italian restaurants in the North End. See here for a peek inside and here for some context.

CHESTNUT HILL—Madness ensued earlier this week when the very first Shake Shack in the whole darn state opened at the shopping and dining center that is The Street Chestnut Hill on Boylston. Gosh, where to begin? Here's crazy things people said they would do to be first in line, here's the menu, here's a look inside, and here's the line on opening day. Could a location for Boston proper be next?

SEAPORT—What has been 606 Congress at the Renaissance Hotel will now become MC Medici Ristorante & Bar from chefs Mark Gaier and Clark Frasier of the acclaimed Arrows in Ogunquit, Maine. Also, they were on Top Chef: Masters.

CAMBRIDGE—Kendall Square darling Area Four is many things—a pizzeria, a bar, a brunch destination, a coffeeshop—but it's no food truck. Oh wait, yes it is! Or will be soon, rather.
