Boston Welcomes My Mother’s Cutlets: A Taste of Tradition
Boston’s North End has a new culinary gem, My Mother’s Cutlets, which opened its doors on April 25. Founded by Marina Varano, the sandwich shop celebrates her Italian mother’s beloved chicken cutlets, which were a staple during her childhood. “My mom made these cutlets almost five times a week,” shared Varano, reflecting on the popularity among family and friends.
At My Mother’s Cutlets, customers can build their own chicken cutlet sandwiches, choosing from various breads, sauces, and toppings. Options extend beyond chicken to include eggplant, veal, and meatballs, with the unique “famous” tomato salad available as a base. Prices start at $15, with add-ons ranging from $2 to $4.
For those seeking simplicity, the menu also features five signature sandwiches, with highlights like “My Mother’s Special,” which includes vodka sauce and burrata. The venture is a true family affair, with Varano’s mother, aunt, and relatives playing vital roles behind the counter.
Located at 371 Hanover St., My Mother’s Cutlets is a heartfelt tribute to family and tradition, reflecting the Varano legacy in Boston’s vibrant food scene. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and until 11 p.m. on weekends, this eatery is a must-visit.
