Roman Italian cuisine, including sfincione bread and cacio e pepe
"Led by chef Evan Funke, the concept focuses on Roman-style Italian cuisine with an especial emphasis on pastas. Los Angeles Times critic Bill Addison described the spaghettone alla gricia as a “pork-besotted masterpiece,” and was taken with “all’amatriciana’s potent mix of tomato and guanciale fused onto curving rigatoni.” Building on this success, the group expanded with offshoots in Miami and Las Vegas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Chef Evan Funke made a name for himself and his Roman Italian food with Mother Wolf in LA. Now, the Vegas location at the Fontainebleau serves the same exceptional food, but in a lighter dining room, one decorated in shades of sage and coral. The pasta stands out, with cacio e pepe and spaghetti arrabbiata as must-haves. Start with an order of mind-blowingly fluffy and delicately crisp sfincione focaccia bread." - Janna Karel
"Chef Evan Funke’s LA hot spot Mother Wolf opened with the Fontainebleau in December 2023. The Roman Italian restaurant makes excellent pasta — with spaghetti arrabiata and cacio e pepe among the most popular options. Make sure to order the sfincione — a deliciously light and fluffy focaccia with a delicately crisp edge." - Janna Karel
"Visited six times by one contributor, indicating it's a repeat destination even outside the immediate city." - Eater Staff
"This LA transplant is just as flashy as the original. Design details like busy booth cushions and the multicolored tile floors fight for your attention, and there’s probably a celebrity seated a few tables over eating the restaurant’s famous squash blossoms. With all that flare, it’d be easy for the food to be an afterthought, but it’s not. The short rib meatballs are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and taste even better dipped in their airy pomodoro sauce. Mother Wolf is best experienced at the bar with a cherry liquor-spiked Negroni and an order of the cacio e pepe or rigatoni all’amatriciana." - emmy kasten
