The offshoot of Wood Tavern next door, Southie keeps it real with its ever-popular sandwich known simply as The Balls sporting Neiman Ranch beef-pork meatballs dripping in Italian sauce. Other favorites include the Fried Pork Belly and the Marinated Beets & Herbed Ricotta sandwiches. While it’s known as a casual sit-down restaurant, take-out orders are always available.
