Italian-ish spot with pizzas, pasta, cocktails & chic vibe
"Petula’s has an old world charm and a new world energy—like the Gardner Museum, but make it Southie—with those bentwood chairs and bistro tables you’ll find in every cafe in Europe. This casual spot lands smack in the middle of the Venn diagram between date night and a lazy afternoon cocktail with old friends. Small plates like the tomato burrata salad topped with crispy bits of prosciutto sit on the menu alongside comfort foods like vodka tomato pasta, the seasonal vegetable pizza (currently zucchini and summer squash with housemade pesto), and the pepperoni pie with curled, crispy ’roni cups. We also strongly endorse their $10 martini Mondays as the best possible way to start the week." - tanya edwards, joel ang, dan secatore
"A stylish Italian-leaning South Boston restaurant launched a 'Martini Monday' promotion in 2023 that highlights $10 mini martinis — 4.75-ounce pours — in a range of flavors including classic gin or vodka, espresso, lemon drop, cosmo, and Manhattan from 5 p.m. to close on Mondays. To comply with Massachusetts' ban on time-limited drink discounts, the smaller pours are technically available at that price any day, and the campaign has roughly doubled martini sales on Mondays. The owner framed the promotion as a low-commitment way for people new to martinis to sample different styles; she says her go-to is a dirty vodka martini." - Celina Colby
"Every Monday from 5 p.m. to close you can order $10 martinis at this chic Italian-ish South Boston spot. The happy hour martini menu includes a classic with a twist or an olive, a Manhattan, a cosmo, a lemon drop, and an espresso martini." - Erika Adams
