* Now Open in Brookline Village, MA *
The Eggplant Spuckie $3.75/half; $7.25/whole: No meat ! Tasty olive & carrot salad, house-made mozzarella - pressed, roasted eggplant instead of the cold cuts. Nice and tasty.
Chickpea and Carrots Salad $3.95: The French bistro classic gets an Indian-inspired curry-flavored twist. Meaty chickpeas combine, shredded carrots and chopped cilantro - with a handful of fresh mixed field greens.
The Spuckie - $3.95 half; $7.75 whole: An old-school sandwich done right. Similar to the muffuletta of New Orleans, South Boston's signature sandwich comes layered with olive salad that soaks delightfully into the baguette. Cutty's adds grated carrots to the mix, along with house-made mozzarella, and an Italian cold cut trio of finocchiona, mortadella & hot capicola.
Ham, Butter, Dijon & Gherkins $6.45 : Simplicity at its best. Tasty ham from Niman Ranch, butter, spicy Dijon mustard and a handful of thinly sliced tiny pickles on a crusty baguette.
Broccoli Rabe, Roast Pork & Provolone - unique & tasty option - but I would switch out the pork for chicken with some salad dressing for a great at home sandwich delight !

** Just HATE the lack of great - or even good - Food Joint options at Coolidge Corner ! In spite of the many food places: too tight space, lousy services, too many customers & people - the norm in Brookline - makes for NO place to go and sit down & relax to eat and enjoy a simple bite to eat !! With kids ? FORGET it !! The staring & rudeness makes for an uneasy, very sick outing. SO: very happy this great eatery opened up in Brookline Village :)
FYI: This is NOT an Advertisement or Promo, I purposely designed this post as such !
