Natick Mall Chop House, New Spots Coming To Danvers: MA Food Week

MASSACHUSETTS — Welcome to Patch's weekly round up of food and restaurant news in Massachusetts, where we review openings, closings and more in the state's dining scene.

This week, we learned that the aptly named Maple Street in Danvers is soon to have two new dining options after license approval from the town's Select Board.

Craft Kitchen + Bar is set to open in the former Giovanni's Pizza & Roast Beef location at 62 Maple St. under the direction of former Lynnfield House of Pizza operator George Tsatsis.

Trapezoid Rising will offer "casual restaurant fare" under the direction of longtime chef Timothy Caldwell, who has been involved in the restaurant business for 35 years, at 50 Maple St.

Another new restaurant is set to open in Massachusetts, this time at the Natick Mall.

Gatsby's Chop House received board approval for an all-alcohol license for a restaurant that will be located on the mall's first floor. It will fill the former Met Bar location.
