About Mother Wolf's prices. Mother Wolf is an upscale ($$$$), chef-driven Roman-Italian restaurant that releases its menus as seasonal PDF documents rather than a fixed online price list. The menu is produce-led and changes with the season, and pricing differs between the Los Angeles (Hollywood) and Las Vegas (Fontainebleau) locations — for example, steak and whole fish are often priced by weight or as market price. Because of this, Menupedia lists the real dishes here but does not invent per-item prices: price columns show Market / Per location. For exact current figures, view the official menu PDF or call the restaurant.
Flagship · Handmade Roman pastas

The handmade Roman pastas that define Mother Wolf

Chef Evan Funke is renowned for hand-rolled pasta made without machines. The heart of the menu is Rome's four pillar pastas plus a few simpler builds — all made in-house daily.

Cacio e PepeMarket

  • Handmade tonnarelli
  • Pecorino Romano
  • Cracked black pepper
  • Emulsified to a glossy, creamless sauce

Mother Wolf's signature pasta and the simplest of the four — just cheese and pepper, technique-driven. Vegetarian.

Spaghetti alla CarbonaraMarket

  • Guanciale (cured pork cheek)
  • Egg yolk
  • Pecorino Romano
  • Black pepper — no cream

The authentic Roman build: no cream, ever. Silky from egg and starchy pasta water.

Rigatoni all'AmatricianaMarket

  • Rigatoni
  • Guanciale
  • Tomato
  • Pecorino + chili

Gricia plus tomato. One of Rome's four pillar pastas; bright, porky and a little spicy.

Rigatoni alla GriciaMarket

  • Rigatoni
  • Guanciale
  • Pecorino Romano
  • Black pepper — no tomato

The 'white amatriciana' and the oldest of the four. The base from which carbonara and amatriciana evolved.

Tonnarelli al BurroMarket

  • Handmade tonnarelli
  • Butter
  • Parmigiano

The plainest, purest expression of the fresh pasta — butter and cheese. Vegetarian.

Pasta all'ArrabbiataMarket

  • Penne or rigatoni
  • Garlic
  • Tomato
  • Chili — 'angry' heat

Fiery garlic-tomato-chili sauce. Can be prepared vegan.

Supplì & fritti

Supplì, fried artichokes and the Roman fritti

Before the pasta comes the fritto course — Rome's tradition of fried starters, including the Roman-Jewish dishes that are a hallmark of Cucina Romana.

Most accessible plates

The most accessible ways to experience Mother Wolf

Mother Wolf is a $$$$ fine-dining room — there is no value menu. But some plates are an easier entry point than a full multi-course dinner. These are the lighter-commitment orders.

  1. 1A pasta + a supplì at the barThe single most efficient way to taste the kitchen without a full tasting.Market
  2. 2Pizza MarinaraNo cheese — tomato, garlic, oregano. The most pared-back order. Vegan.Market
  3. 3Contorni (sides)Roman vegetable sides — roasted potatoes, sautéed greens, chicory.Market
  4. 4Tonnarelli al BurroThe simplest pasta — butter and Parmigiano.Market
  5. 5A single antipasto + dolceStarter and dessert for a lighter visit.Market
  6. 6Espresso + MaritozzoThe Roman cream bun and a coffee — the dessert-bar move.Market

There is no value or combo menu at a restaurant of this tier; "accessible" here means lighter-commitment orders, not low prices. All items remain at $$$$ fine-dining pricing.

Dish guide + pricing

The Roman menu, decoded — what each dish is and how it's priced

How it compares

How Mother Wolf compares to other upscale Italian dining rooms

Mother Wolf sits in the top fine-dining tier of Italian-American restaurants. Here's how its style and price tier line up against peers on Menupedia.

RestaurantStylePrice tierSignaturePricing basis
Mother WolfRoman fine dining (Funke)$$$$Cacio e Pepe / SupplìSeasonal PDF · market
CarboneItalian-American luxe$$$$Spicy Rigatoni VodkaFixed menu (high)
The Cheesecake FactoryCasual dining (huge menu)$$Cheesecake / pastaFixed menu
Olive GardenCasual dining Italian$$Tour of Italy / breadsticksFixed menu (value)

Mother Wolf and Carbone share the $$$$ tier but differ in idiom — Mother Wolf is strictly Roman and chef-driven; Carbone is a theatrical Italian-American luxe experience. Olive Garden and The Cheesecake Factory are casual-dining rooms at a fraction of the price. Tiers reflect price level, not quality ranking.

Signature spotlight

The six things that define Mother Wolf's menu

If you've never been and want to know what's actually distinctive about Mother Wolf — start here.

Signature · Roman pasta

Cacio e Pepe

Handmade tonnarelli emulsified with pecorino Romano and cracked black pepper into a glossy, creamless sauce. The simplest of the four Roman pastas and the one that shows the kitchen's technique most clearly.

The fritto course

Supplì alla Romana

The Roman answer to the arancino — a fried risotto croquette with a molten mozzarella center and a thread of ragu. Nearly every table starts here.

Roman-Jewish

Carciofi alla Giudia

A whole artichoke pressed flat and deep-fried until the leaves crisp like petals — the most famous dish of the Roman-Jewish kitchen. Seasonal.

No cream, ever

Spaghetti alla Carbonara

Guanciale, egg yolk, pecorino and black pepper — the authentic Roman build with no cream. A benchmark version in the U.S.

Wood-fired

Wafer-thin pizza

Funke's pizze are wafer-thin, wood-fired and a genuine draw — Margherita, Marinara, Bianca and a sausage pie among them.

The chef

Evan Funke's handmade pasta

Pasta rolled by hand, without machines — the discipline Funke built his reputation on at Felix and brought to Mother Wolf's Roman menu.

Dietary & allergen guide

Vegetarian, vegan and what to know before you order

Mother Wolf's menu is rooted in Roman cooking, where guanciale (cured pork cheek) and pecorino are foundational — so the classic pastas Carbonara, Amatriciana and Gricia are not vegetarian. But the kitchen is produce-led, and there are strong vegetarian and vegan options.

Vegetarian-as-served dishes include Cacio e Pepe, Tonnarelli al Burro, the Margherita and Bianca pizzas, Carciofi alla Romana and most antipasti. The Marinara pizza and Arrabbiata pasta can be vegan, and the contorni (Roman vegetable sides) are largely plant-based.

A chef-driven kitchen can usually accommodate dietary needs with notice — flag allergies and restrictions when you book and again with your server. Cross-contact is possible in any kitchen handling flour, dairy and shellfish.

  • Vegetarian pasta: Cacio e Pepe, Tonnarelli al Burro
  • Vegetarian pizza: Margherita, Bianca
  • Vegan options: Pizza Marinara, Arrabbiata (ask), most contorni
  • Vegetarian antipasti: Carciofi alla Romana, seasonal salads, burrata
  • Not vegetarian: Carbonara, Amatriciana, Gricia (all guanciale-based)
  • Roman-Jewish: Carciofi alla Giudia, Filetti di Baccalà (seasonal)
Locations

Where to find Mother Wolf

Mother Wolf opened first in Hollywood, Los Angeles, in a dramatic restored 1920s dining room on Wilcox Avenue — a grand, high-ceilinged space that has become as much a part of the restaurant's identity as the food. A second location opened at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, bringing the Roman menu to the Strip.

The two rooms share a kitchen philosophy but run separate, seasonal menus, and pricing can differ between them. Reservations are strongly recommended at both. Use the official site at motherwolflv.com (Las Vegas) or the Los Angeles site for current menus, hours and bookings.

  • Los Angeles: Hollywood (Wilcox Ave) — the original grand dining room
  • Las Vegas: Fontainebleau, Las Vegas Strip
  • Chef: Evan Funke
  • Cuisine: La Cucina Romana (Roman Italian)
  • Reservations: strongly recommended at both
  • Price tier: $$$$ fine dining
About Mother Wolf

Chef Evan Funke's homage to the Eternal City and the cooking of Rome.

Mother Wolf is chef Evan Funke's tribute to La Cucina Romana — the cooking of Rome — executed with seasonal California ingredients and Funke's signature hand-rolled pasta. The original opened in a grand, restored 1920s dining room in Hollywood and quickly became one of Los Angeles's defining Italian restaurants; a second location followed at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas.

The menu is built around the Roman essentials: handmade pastas (cacio e pepe, carbonara, amatriciana, gricia), supplì and other fritti, the Roman-Jewish dishes that are central to Rome's food history, wafer-thin wood-fired pizza, and hyper-seasonal antipasti. Funke is known for rolling pasta by hand without machines — a discipline he built his reputation on at Felix Trattoria in Venice, California.

As an upscale, chef-driven restaurant, Mother Wolf publishes seasonal PDF menus rather than a fixed online price list — the menu and its prices move with the market and the season.

Common questions

Mother Wolf menu — frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions people most commonly ask about Mother Wolf's menu, prices, signature dishes and locations.

How much does dinner at Mother Wolf cost?

Mother Wolf is an upscale, chef-driven Roman-Italian restaurant priced in the $$$$ tier. It does not publish a fixed price list online — menus are released as seasonal PDFs and prices change with the market and the season. As a rough guide for fine dining of this style, expect a multi-course dinner (antipasto, pasta, a secondo and dessert, plus drinks) to land well into three figures per person before tax and tip. For exact current pricing, view the menu PDF on the official site or call the restaurant directly.

What are the signature dishes at Mother Wolf?

Mother Wolf is built around chef Evan Funke's handmade Roman pastas. The signatures are the four pillar Roman pastas — Cacio e Pepe, Spaghetti alla Carbonara, Rigatoni all'Amatriciana and Rigatoni alla Gricia — alongside Supplì alla Romana (fried risotto croquettes) and Roman-Jewish dishes like Carciofi alla Giudia (whole fried artichoke). Wafer-thin wood-fired pizzas and seasonal antipasti round out the menu.

Does Mother Wolf publish prices online?

Not as a stable price list. The official site links to downloadable PDF menus (dinner, dessert, cocktails/wine) rather than a fixed online menu, and those PDFs are updated seasonally. Because the menu is chef-driven and produce-led, individual prices move with the market and differ between the Los Angeles and Las Vegas locations. We list the real dishes here but do not invent prices — check the current PDF or call ahead for exact figures.

Where is Mother Wolf located?

Mother Wolf has two locations. The original is in Hollywood, Los Angeles (in a grand former 1920s dining room on Wilcox Avenue). A second location opened at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas menu and pricing can differ from Los Angeles, so confirm details for the specific location you're visiting via the official site.

Who is the chef behind Mother Wolf?

Mother Wolf is the restaurant of chef Evan Funke, the Los Angeles pasta maker known for his hand-rolled, no-machines approach and his earlier restaurant Felix Trattoria in Venice, CA. Mother Wolf is his homage to La Cucina Romana — the cooking of Rome — executed with seasonal California ingredients. Funke is widely regarded as one of the leading handmade-pasta chefs in the United States.

Is Mother Wolf good for vegetarians?

Yes, with care. Several core dishes are vegetarian as served — Cacio e Pepe, Tonnarelli al Burro, the Margherita and Bianca pizzas, Carciofi alla Romana, and most contorni. The Marinara pizza and Arrabbiata pasta can be vegan. Note that classic Roman pastas like Carbonara, Amatriciana and Gricia are built on guanciale (cured pork), so they are not vegetarian. Ask your server about seasonal vegetable preparations.

Do I need a reservation at Mother Wolf?

Yes — reservations are strongly recommended. Mother Wolf is a high-demand fine-dining room in both Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and walk-in availability is limited, especially on weekends. Book through the restaurant's official site or its reservation platform well in advance. For larger parties or special occasions, contact the restaurant directly.

What is the dress code at Mother Wolf?

Mother Wolf is an upscale dining room, and the expectation is smart-casual to dressy. There's no strict jacket-and-tie requirement, but the grand setting and $$$$ price point mean most guests dress up. For the Las Vegas location inside the Fontainebleau, resort-chic attire fits the room. Confirm any specific policy with the restaurant when you book.

What's the difference between Carbonara, Amatriciana and Gricia?

These are three of Rome's four pillar pastas and share a guanciale-and-pecorino base. Gricia is the oldest and simplest — guanciale, pecorino and black pepper, no tomato. Add tomato and you get Amatriciana. Add egg yolk instead of tomato and you get Carbonara. The fourth, Cacio e Pepe, drops the pork entirely for just pecorino and pepper. Mother Wolf serves all four handmade.

Does Mother Wolf serve lunch?

Mother Wolf is primarily a dinner restaurant, and service hours can vary by location and season. Some periods or locations may add weekend or brunch service, but the core offering is evening fine dining. Because hours change, check the official site or call before planning a daytime visit.
