The weekend is officially here, so to celebrate, we have rounded up some great haute dining spots you won’t want to miss. Earlier this week we told you about the new Smoke Shop that opened its second barbecue location in The Fort Point Channel (checking it out tonight). Here’s a look at some other great spots around Boston that range from casual fare to luxe new spaces.

The Seaport District just got a whole lot hotter with the newest addition of Tuscan Kitchen Seaport. The sprawling second floor space features a crudo bar menu, Tagliatelle al Tartufo (a decadent tableside pasta with shaved truffle), homemade pastas, hearth baked breads, and a Tuscan specialty, Bistecca Alla Fiorentina, a dry aged 48 oz. certified Prime Brandt Beef Porterhouse for two. Did we mention they have a wine cellar with more than 400 different Italian wines?

Chef/owner Jason Santos transformed the former Back Bay Harry space into a brightly colored space complete with a taste of Mexicali with the recent opening of Citrus & Salt. Look for dishes like mole poblano braised lamb flautas, pork belly chicharrone tacos, crab and cactus chowder, sea scallop ceviche, made-to-order churros with vanilla dulce and mezcal chocolate dipping sauces (need we say more?) and soft serve sorbets of the day served in a salted pretzel cone.

Endless bowls of noodles, curry, ramen and teppanyaki are the name of the wagamama game at their newest outpost in the Seaport District. The healthy fast Japanese inspired street food features haute dishes like Ebi Kotsu, Hirata steamed buns with pork belly, Yaki Soba noodles with chicken, grilled duck donburi and bang bang cauliflower (our favorite).

If you are looking to head out to the suburbs, be sure to check out Cook Needham, the newest addition to Needham and sibling to Cook Newton. The taste of summer continues here year round with lobster sliders (a must try) and crispy shrimp taco starters. Move onto the house chicken sausage and rabe flatbread made even better when topped with roasted tomatoes, banana peppers, garlic, provolone, parmesan and spiced up with just the right amount of heat from the addition of chile peppers. For main events, try a heaping overstuffed Reuben sandwich or a heartier dish of Bolognese, a delicious combination of veal, pork and beef (add in some meatballs and trust us, you’ll be glad you did).

Jack’s Coal Fired Pizza has officially opened in the former Papa Razzi space in Burlington. Try the coal fired lemon rubbed wings and their delicious meatballs made with ricotta, mozzarella and romano to start. Be sure to save room for the main reason you came here – their pizza. We recommend trying a coal-fired version as well as a wood-fired pie to taste the difference. We couldn’t get enough of the 12-inch wood-fired Forager’s topped with wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, thyme, ricotta, gruyère and truffle oil. The winning pie of the day was our own crispy 16-inch coal-fired creation topped with chicken, tomato and garlic.
