Mother Wolf

Perched in the vibrant Hollywood enclave at 1545 Wilcox Avenue, Mother Wolf Los Angeles roars as a lavish tribute to Roman culinary heritage, where Chef Evan Funke channels the eternal city’s soul through handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and bold, shareable feasts. This 2022 sensation—now a Michelin-starred staple open Monday-Thursday and Sunday from 5:30pm to 9:30pm, Friday-Saturday until 11pm—draws LA’s tastemakers for its blend of opulent drama and unyielding pasta perfection, making it a hotspot for celebratory nights in the city’s creative epicenter.

Step into Mother Wolf, and the interiors dazzle with crimson-drenched grandeur—velvet banquettes, gilded accents, and a soaring ballroom-esque dining room seating around 200 evoke a Roman banquet hall fused with Vegas flair, where vintage murals whisper of ancient myths amid soft, flattering glows. The space hums with an electric yet intimate energy, from the bustling bar for aperitivo hour to intimate booths perfect for toasts, while a petite outdoor patio offers a quieter escape under string lights. Evenings pulse with a lively rhythm of clinking glasses and murmured conversations, occasionally lifted by a wandering musician, pulling in a glamorous mix of locals, celebs, and visitors. The atmosphere is theatrical and welcoming, suited for a bustling birthday bash, intimate date, or group feast that lingers into the night.

The menu spotlights Roman-inspired indulgences with a focus on fresh, handmade elements—tonda-style pizzas, al dente pastas, and seasonal twists—designed for communal savoring, paired with a deep Italian wine list and cocktails like the signature Negroni ($18), a balanced swirl of gin, vermouth, and Campari with an orange twist. Start with the Fiori di Zucca ($24), delicate zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta romana and parmigiano reggiano, fried crisp and golden—a light, cheesy prelude. The Polpette di Coda ($22) delivers oxtail meatballs in rich tomato sugo with crusty bread, tender and deeply savory for dipping.

Pasta commands the stage with the Rigatoni all’Amatriciana ($28), tube-shaped strands slicked in guanciale-tomato sauce with pecorino and chili heat, robust and classic. Fans of simplicity adore the Fettuccine al Burro ($26), butter-kissed ribbons laced with prosciutto and parmigiano, elegant in their creamy restraint. Pizza lovers unite over the Margherita ($24), blistered tonda crust topped with San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte, and basil—a bubbly, herby essential. Mains include the Cacio e Pepe Supplì ($18), fried rice balls oozing pecorino and pepper for a salty, molten bite. Seafood shines in the Grilled Whole Branzino ($48), herb-crusted with lemon and olive oil, flaky and fresh. For heartier fare, the Veal Milanese ($42) features pounded cutlet breaded crisp with arugula salad, juicy and nostalgic. Vegetarians opt for the Eggplant Parmigiana ($26), layered slices baked with mozzarella and marinara until bubbly and comforting.

Desserts offer a decadent close with the Bomboloni ($14), warm doughnuts filled with vanilla custard and dusted with sugar—pillowy and indulgent—or the Chocolate Torta ($12), dense flourless cake with sea salt and vanilla gelato for a bittersweet, fudgy finale.
