Alimentari at Mothers & Sons

Wow! These are the kinda gems 💎 I love to find. Lunch here is fantastic. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. I really enjoyed today's lunch special chicken parmesan on cibatta! The side Caesar salad was crisp, fresh, and refreshing. The Pumpkin Spice Lattes are seriously the best I've ever had. Grateful for the wonderful service and pesto! Thanks for the great experience.

Literally the best meal I have eaten since moving to NC. I do not even know where to begin with this wonderful place. The food is amazing,! Fresh, flavorful, creative, and it is real italian food. The bread and pasta are made daily. DAILY and homemade! The foccacia bread and the ciabatta were to die for. So light, and flavorful with such a nice bite. We had bruch and the frittata, strata, homefries, buns, everythng was spot on with balance, flavor, and freshness. The food is very high quality, made with fresh ingredients and you can taste it in every bite. I had an opportunity to speak to the chef. What a great guy! Humble, super friendly and loving what he is doing. His food is infused with his passion for cooking. The atmoshphere of both venues is beautiful. It feels like walking into a movie set from a 1920s goden era movie. The vibe just eminates, history, passion, preservation of traditions. You will not be disappointed if you eat at either of these places. I highly recommend it and I plan on taking friends and family there agian soon.

Meatball sandwich was delicious, huge, and extremely messy. Be prepared to eat it with a fork.

Great atmosphere. Went for Sunday breakfast. Service a bit slow but food was decent. The biscuit sandwiches are good but the texture of the biscuits are different, so is the taste and it broke pretty easily making eating the breakfast sandwich a bit difficult. We liked the hashbrowns and quiche.

Wonderful experience having Alimentari cater for our office lunch. Mary was so easy to work with and made sure there were excellent options available for the whole team - dietary restrictions included. I highly recommend the salumi misti sandwich, the antipasto salad, and the veggie charcuterie board (the crispy chickpeas are magical!). Looking forward to working with them again!

Vegetarian options: Loved the veggie charcuterie board!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free, dairy-free
