Mothers and Sons is a truly enjoyable dining experience. Amazing food, staff, service, and drinks are the stars. The restaurant is in Durham style and very beautiful. Cannot wait to come back.

Get the Dunderi (gnocchi)! This place had one of the best pasta dishes I've had in the triangle in terms of uniqueness and flavor. You won't find a dish like this one, squash, brown butter sauce (I think), and the Tagliatelle al Ragu was also phenomenal. Burschetta was good, arancini was good, desert of Panna cotta was also good. Overall top 5 Italian restaurant in the triangle, a must-try if you love Italian and like to try new places! Alexander was a fantastic server and I barely got a pic of our food before it was gone!

My mom and I had a great dinner at Mother and Son's last night! I made a reservation to celebrate my mom's birthday, and the host greeted us with a tasteful little "Happy birthday" note. Our server, Alicia, was wonderful! Super knowledgeable, kind, and funny. And very low key but sweet about my mom's birthday. She gave us a free cannolo with a little candle in it at the end :) The food was very good. We split a green salad, eggplant parmesan, and sides of rapini and polenta. The rapini was weakest--very bitter and not much other flavor. The other dishes were great! Very generous serving sizes.

Beautiful interior with comfortably well executed dishes and flavor profiles. Love the vibes of the bar and the atmosphere. Solid selection of amaros and cocktails to pick from. Delicious selection of meats. Solid comfort food in general, warm and inviting on the tongue like a blanket of savory flavor in each dish.

We enjoyed our meal. We shared the burrata and Buffalo mozzarella. Both were incredible. I had a seasonal pasta of pesto made with ramps and he had bucatini. We shared a gianduja budino for desert, which neither of us had heard of, but we both really enjoyed. The tables were pretty close together and I don't think a wheelchair would fit through. When I went to the restroom,I thought it might be gender neutral because I didn't see a sign, but it was multi stall, so it had to be? When I left I saw a picture of a woman next to the door. Was that supposed to count as a sign? It just looked like a picture on the wall.
