About Petula's

Petula’s is a charming spot in Southie, offering a modern and interesting meal with a nice atmosphere. The decor is very thoughtful and aesthetic, making it a great place for a casual meal. The food, including dishes like vodka pasta, smashburger, and skillet cookie, mostly lives up to the cost. The menu features interesting options such as the salmon dish, which many find outstanding. Appetizers like Arancini with Prosciutto are good, but some items like fried artichokes may not be of the best quality. The Caesar salad has a flavorful aioli-style dressing, and the pizza's toppings are great with a thin, mildly airy crust, though it doesn’t compete with Boston’s best pizza. The roasted chicken is fresh and rich, while the Sea Bass can be quite sour. Service can be a bit odd at times, especially during busy hours, but staff are generally friendly. The ambiance is excellent, with a nice bar area, though it can be a little loud. Reservations are recommended due to its popularity. It’s a good choice for pescatarians with some veggie options available. Overall, Petula’s is a great place for a casual meal with friendly staff and a lively atmosphere, leaving guests full and satisfied.
