Mother Wolf
Mother Wolf is Evan Funke's Roman restaurant at Fontainebleau — hand-rolled cacio e pepe and carbonara at $35, sfincione to start, and top-tier-of-Strip-Italian status earned within its first year.
Is Mother Wolf Worth It? Honest Review & What to Order
Mother Wolf is Evan Funke's Roman kitchen at Fontainebleau — the LA pasta obsessive's Vegas outpost, and by 2025 already ranked among the top tier of Strip Italian by local critics. The premise is la cucina Romana done with fundamentalist care: hand-rolled pastas, Roman pizzas, and the sfincione focaccia that should open every table.
The pastas are the argument — cacio e pepe, carbonara, and vongole all at $35, made by hands that built one of LA's most famous pasta programs — with secondi ($78-94) as the supporting act rather than the point. Dinner runs nightly from 5pm (4pm Friday-Saturday), and demand tracks the Fontainebleau event calendar: book a week or two out normally, further when a residency is in the building. Smart casual passes fine — useful pre-show.
The honest ledger: portions read modest against the prices, the room runs loud and tightly packed, and the far-north-Strip address is a genuine ride from center Strip. But at $90-150 a head it delivers more cooking-per-dollar than most $$$$ rooms on the Boulevard — order pasta-forward and it's one of the Strip's best Italian meals, full stop.
Insider tip Order pasta-forward — that's the kitchen's entire thesis — and start with the sfincione. Check Fontainebleau's concert calendar before choosing your date: residency nights compress reservations and pack the room by 7.
