Mothers Sons Trattoria - Durham

First time..and I must say that I was impressed. next to the great ambiente the service was by far the highlight of our meal. we still talk about it. not their typical Italian cuisine, but this is the best part. to say m

I bring my family here for 4 years and we have consistently the best meal and service. the atmosphere is fun and lively! recommend the inked fish paste. if they can get aidan as their server, it is the best- absolutely best restaurant in durham and raleigh- that is worth waiting. came back to the conclusion- brought my family from pittsburgh. we had another extraordinary visit. aidan is no longer there, but bahar (spelling? has made a great job. really one of the favorite experiences in durham. thank you for making 4 years of memory. now, aidan is back- so, we returned and she treated us so well. zach returns for school - so we have another year to visit this amazing place - thanks for the remembrance- latest picture attached- aidan could remove her mask! BEST food

Everything we had here was incredible. I had heard amazing things before coming and not only exceeded expectations. 10/10 would come back here.

I had the baked potato gnocchi in a fall squash fondue sauce which was amazing. The desserts were tasty as well. Our server was a young lady at the bar and she was so kind and friendly, she also made recommendations for me since I have a food allergy. The owner and chef were also super accommodating and very nice. Make sure to make reservations as they are busy.

Reservations were hard to get at a decent time a week out. Now I know why! The food and dining experience was excellent. We were celebrating a 40th bday and Mother's has been on my list a year or so... so 8 p.m. was booked. We had gnocchi, pork cheek on polenta, Arancini and lemon shrimp. The flavor combinations were perfectly matched. It was all so delicious! They were busy. But our server was very good and made sure we were taken care of. I will definitely be going for another visit and taking the hubbie.
