Mothers and Sons Trattoria is located in Downtown Durham.
I chose the restaurant for the lasagna bianco. But when I arrived it was not on the menu. I'm not sure when the website menu will be updated as it is still listed. The staff was friendly but the restaurant was dark. Most of us needed a flashl

Hugeeeeee letdown (especially after all of the hype for this restaurant). The interior is 10/10- the dining room and the bar have really cool, classy vibes, and I love the atmosphere. The food is what fell really short. We ordered the potato gnocchi
Birthday Meal Perfection
We celebrated a family birthday with our grown children and had a party of 7. Emailed ahead as you can only make a reservation for up to 6. Received a gracious reply that they could accommodate us. Please note we purposefully chose an early time, 5pm

Was so excited to go here! Went early for a bday dinner and the glass of wine I ordered was corked, Apparently the bottles they charge $17/glass they leave open for 2 days at the bar (just wow!). Server was great and said she tasted it and thanked me
Eggplant Parm was excellent.
Great wine selection and desserts looked tempting. Didn't have any room left, the entree was a generous portion. Staff was very efficient also.
Great ambiance.
Nice waiter. Focaccia was great. I ordered the tagliatelle ragu - IMO, the pasta was well-cooked, but the ragu was bland and devoid of flavor. Along with it being lukewarm upon arrival, it appeared watery and overall unappetizing to look at. My Sangi
Definitely Go Here !
5 Star meal ! Fantastic bartender, wines, homemade pasta meals & handmade desserts. Great authentic Italian meal with a cute atmosphere
Authentic yet creative Italian.
Everything was just a little different, in a good way. Lighter fare than typical heavy Italian, but you wont leave hungry! Late dining for the area; we had a 9pm reservation. Convenient, albiet small, parking lot on the corner. Very knowledgable and

Seemed appropriate to go there
My son was visiting from the West Coast, and we decided to check out Durham. As we walked around, we found Mother's and Son and decided to stop there for lunch. The food was very good. I loved the pasta salad and how fresh the bread was.
Ears still ringing from the cacophony of chatter. Not for the faint of hearing.
Sadly, what could have been an enjoyable evening celebrating birthdays with two of my dear friends turned out to be a soirée akin to a school lunchroom. Don’t come for any romantic occasions or if you plan to have meaningful conversations. Unless
One of Durham’s finest Italian restaurants!
This was our first visit, and what a pleasant surprise!!! We arrived at 6:30 on a Saturday night without a reservation and were lucky to get seated, which is almost unheard of in downtown Durham on a Saturday night. We had a great authentic Sicilian
Used to be much better
In decline- used to be much better. Menu is smaller with fewer offerings cooking not as interesting as it used to be. Dishes seem to be hastily put together - however our orders took a very long time to get to our table & one entree arrived b
Highly recommend this authentic Italian atmosphere!
From the wine director to the knowledgeable server to everyone in between, this was an outstanding experience. Everyone’s number one goal was to make sure we understood the menu and made the right selections. The authentic atmosphere and wood fire
Back After Covid - Something's Missing
After a couple of years and fond memories, returned. Had a mixed experience. The good - wine list, server (very helpful), the squid ink pasta, the desert, ambiance/noise. The average - price/value, bruchetta, eggplant parmigiana. The disappointing -

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mothers & Sons Trattoria Durham at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mothers & Sons Trattoria Durham page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Mothers & Sons Trattoria Durham to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mothers & Sons Trattoria Durham!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
