Treat Mom to a fabulous meal in the city on her special day, either indoors or out
Abe & Louie’s: All weekend long, beloved Back Bay steakhouse boasts Mom-centric specials like Maryland soft shell crab, a surf & turf entrée of a petit filet mignon with a Maine lobster tail and, for dessert, a monterosa cake with wild strawberries atop ricotta- and mascarpone-filled sponge cake. There’s even the refreshing Your Day to Be Sassy cocktail with elderflower, lemon and mint that’s perfect for sipping street-side.
Forcella: Sup at the rarest of spots in the North End—an outdoor patio—while enjoying a special spring-themed cocktail alongside a menu of traditional Italian delicacies, while ending your meal with a complimentary take-home cookie as a treat.
LoLa 42 (pictured): Revel in the genuine Nantucket vibe at this al fresco-focused Seaport hot spot that offers a duo of May 12-only seafood lunch and dinner creations: spicy scallop tartare for sushi fans, as well as a tempting seared scallop risotto dish.
Porto: Jody Adams’ lauded, Mediterranean-inspired Back Bay destination serves breakfast plates like speck eggs Benedict, chicken & waffles and the North African egg dish shakshuka along with dinner selections like meatballs, grilled lamb chops and crispy calamari, all which can be enjoyed on a lemon-adorned, open-air terrace.
Prezza: Another way to celebrate Mom Italian-style is by heading to this North End eatery for exclusive options like a half dozen Patriot oysters, the lobster omelet and shrimp crostini on Mother’s Day.
