Roman Italian eatery serving acclaimed pastas, pizzas & wine
"At Fontainebleau, Evan Funke’s homage to Rome and Lazio dives deep into the region’s culinary heritage with seasonal antipasti honoring shepherds, farmers, and artisans and handmade pastas that ruin you for others. I love the modern rustic room for people‑watching out in the open—or sneaking into a romantic table along the periphery when the bold‑face names roll through." - Andrea Bennett
"Chef Evan Funke’s Vegas outlet for Mother Wolf will host a five-course prix fixe dinner to bring in 2026. For $250 per person and $120 additional wine pairing, diners can choose from a bread course, New Caledonia blue prawns for the second course, or one of six pastas, before diving into a wagyu steak with fries, and ending with dessert. Reservations are a must." - Jennifer Smith
"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
