Motherwolf imo should be the number one Italian restaurant in Las Vegas! The food quality is unmatched shout out to the chef during a busy Labor Day weekend the food was on point. We had the handmade papardella pasta and it was Amazing a must try! Gianmarco our server is world class, coursed out perfectly along with his food knowledge and the small details he procured made us feel like we steeped into Italy ! Thanks to the amazing host team that gave us a great table we will definitely come back again. read more

A truly amazing experience. One of the BEST EVER!! Dutch was our captain / server and he guided us through the menu / wine list with thoughtful professionalism. The highlights: margherita pizza, octopus salad, squash blossoms, short rib meatballs with focaccia and lemon meringue dessert. Every dish was easily 5 stars++. Also, shoutouts to T who worked with Dutch and the great honor of meeting Chef Anthony!!! WOW!!! read more

Mother Wolf - Pizza Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Mother Wolf was incredible! The food was delicious from start to finish, and as a cheese lover, the salad is a must try. The tonnarelli cacio e pepe was just okay flavor wise for me but the texture of the noodles was amazing. The rigatoni alla carbonara and fettuccine al burro were both fantastic pasta dishes, but the focaccia might have been my favorite thing we ordered! The drinks were also really well balanced, and I loved how thoughtfully the courses were paced throughout the meal. We went for a later dinner, and the ambiance was high-energy and fun while still feeling high-end. Our server was incredibly attentive, and all of her recommendations were spot on. Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and service, this restaurant definitely lived up to the hype for me. I also love that it gives me another excuse to visit Fontainebleau which I honestly think is an underrated hotel and casino. Can't wait to come back! read more

Mother Wolf - Pizza Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Wow! Mother Wolf was an amazing experience, offering some of the best pasta on the strip. Vibes are awesome. Reservations are highly recommended and it was packed on a Monday night. Service was friendly and attentive. We over ordered because everything on the menu was sounded great. Looking back, we could've skipped on a pasta but no regrets over here. The sfincione (focaccia) is a must order. The bread was unreal! I think it's safe to say it's probably the best focaccia I've ever had. The battuta di manzo (beef tartare) was spectacular... I just wished they gave us more of the fried chips to eat it with. The panzanella (burrata salad) was quite refreshing with the tomatoes and veggies and had the perfect amount of dressing. We got two pastas - the pappardelle al ragu and the linguine alle vongole. Normally, I'm all about a ragu pasta but I really likes the clam linguine pasta. It was a lot lighter than the heavier pappardelle pasta which felt like a better balance to the appetizers we ordered. Don't get me wrong, they're both great but this place turned me more into a clam linguine fan. I can't wait to check out Evan Funke's other restaurants in LA! read more

I had dinner at the bar by myself cause hubby went to his old friends at another hotel. Glad I was able to grab a seat cause the bar was so packed at dinner rush hour. This Roman Italian restaurant is very beautiful and lively. I am a big fan of Mediterranean European cuisine especially Italian. So this is my type of food. I decided on focaccia, octopus salad, Cacio e pepe pasta and whole branzino. Also iced tea as beverage (no alcohol without my husband with me) and passion fruit sorbet as dessert. The food was fantastic! Everything tasted so delicious. They make fresh pasta in house daily. The service was great and very attentive. My appetite might've surprised the server and the dining people next to me. But I don't get to eat authentic Roman Italian food often so I had to try quite a few dishes even just by myself. My solo dining experience was great and very comforting! Hopefully we can try the other location in Hollywood soon! read more

Came here on September 25 for a date night before seeing Ali Wong at the Encore Theater, and what a wonderful evening it turned out to be. Located inside the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Mother Wolf is Chef Evan Funke's homage to classic Roman cuisine, and the restaurant is absolutely stunning. We were seated at banquette table #42, which gave us a fantastic view of the open kitchen. I always enjoy watching the action behind the scenes, and it added so much to the overall dining experience. Between the gorgeous interior design, lively atmosphere, and perfectly executed mood lighting, the restaurant feels sophisticated, warm, and inviting all at the same time. One thing worth mentioning is their pizza bar seating. If you're making a reservation, you can request seats at the pizza bar for a front-row view of the pizza-making process. Seating is very limited, so I would recommend requesting it early if that's something you're interested in. To start, we ordered the Sfincione, Chef Evan Funke's signature focaccia. The aroma alone had me excited before I even took my first bite. The smell of freshly baked bread drifting from the table was absolutely irresistible. We also ordered the Calamari Fritti and the Polpette di Coda. The calamari was delicious, but the real surprise was the short rib meatballs. The texture was unlike any meatball I've had before, crispy on the outside while remaining tender and flavorful inside. For pasta, we shared the Rigatoni all'Amatriciana, and all I can say is... chef's kiss. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was light, balanced, and packed with flavor. It's the kind of dish that makes you slow down and savor every bite. We also ordered the Costata di Maiale, an 18-ounce pork chop that was cooked beautifully. Juicy, flavorful, and substantial, it was the perfect entrée to complement the pasta. For dessert, I ordered the Tiramisu, while my boyfriend ordered the Menta, their mint ice cream. The tiramisu was rich, creamy, and a wonderful way to end the meal. What surprised me the most, however, was the mint ice cream. Normally I'm not a mint ice cream fan, but this version completely changed my mind. It was incredibly light, fresh, and refreshing without being overpowering. It cleansed the palate perfectly after such a satisfying meal. A huge part of what made the evening memorable was our Captain attendant", Tendrick. His service was exceptional from beginning to end. He seemed to anticipate what guests needed before they even had to ask. He was knowledgeable about every item on the menu, answered our questions with confidence, and made recommendations that helped elevate our dining experience. Beyond that, he was genuinely personable and easy to talk to, which made us feel welcomed throughout the evening. As Las Vegas locals who dine out quite a bit, we appreciate great food, but exceptional service is what truly stands out. Tendrick delivered exactly that, and we'll definitely be asking for him again on our next visit. Everything was superb. From the ambiance and hospitality to the food and desserts, Mother Wolf delivered one of the most enjoyable dining experiences we've had this year. As someone who dines out often, it takes a lot to impress me, but Mother Wolf exceeded expectations. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a date night, or simply looking for one of the best Italian dining experiences in Las Vegas, this place is absolutely worth the visit read more

It was an amazing meal from start to finish. I would definitely eat here again the next time we're back in Vegas. The pasta was fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the pizza was light, crispy, and thin. We love Roman style pizza, so we were excited to try it here, and it did not disappoint! The desserts and drinks were just as good as the dinner. The ambiance was great, and the service was exceptional. Everyone was super kind and welcoming, making the entire experience even better. read more

2nd Visit: Everything was still amazing as it was from 2025. Had the Focacia, blue prawns in salsa verde-reason why we came back. Some scallops, Gnocchi and this time, ordered their lemon dessert. Their Gnocchi, was good, but it didn't give the melt-in-your-mouth experience, instead, it was tender but crumbled at the end versus just melting, 8/10 Their lemon dessert will hit you hard, it's good but a bit too rich for me. If you REALLY love lemons, this is for you. Service was still on point. This is one restaurant we will always go back to. read more

A truly great restaurant experience. Mother Wolf is worthy of all the glowing reviews and more. The service is spectacular, and the food is outstanding.

Mother Wolf was great! Excellent service from valet to the restaurant. I ordered the truffle gnocchi because they had truffles available that night and they recommended the gnocchi with them. The truffles had a very, very light taste... So personally, I don't think it was worth the extra money but it was fine. (I like to be able to taste it) The appetizer pizza was absolutely delicious! The tiramisu was also yummy. The restaurant is beautiful! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Mother Wolf in the Fontainebleau. The atmosphere and decor are beautiful, but what really made the evening stand out was the exceptional service, especially from our server, Rocco, who was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. He made the whole experience feel special. For food, we started with the Mortazza, a mortadella sandwich that was absolutely delicious. We also had the Diavola pizza, which was perfectly balanced, fresh, spicy, and honestly one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I skipped the parmesan at the end, which made it feel fresher and less salty. For dessert, we shared the Caprese cake with stracciatella gelato, and it was pure poetry. Honestly, a five-star meal with food and service that lived up to the luxury of Fontainebleau. read more

We returned here with another couple and again opened with a Sfincione and very thin Margherita Pizza, which was good with Parmigiana Reggiano Cheese followed by Pappardelle Al Funghi with Ragu. To wash everything down I had the smallest Diet Coke in the world served in a tiny bottle. Since Iced Tea is not served here, I ordered multiple servings of Diet Coke. Diane liked her Gnocchi Alfredo, and our friends were pleased with their Fettuccine al Burro. Patate Fritta was a very tasty and unusual side. For dessert a Date Cake with Cranberries, Caramel Sauce, and Vanilla Gelato was different and delicious. We had to wait about fifteen minutes to be assigned a table after we arrived right at our reservation time. Service by Francesco was very good in a convivial if crowded setting, and the pasta making was exceptional as before. A written validation provided by the restaurant waived all charges for valet parking. XXXX-1/2 stars overall. read more

Our second time here and we will definitely be back! So many great things to talk about: first off, I called to see if they had any last minute reservations for our Anniversary. I kept changing my mind on what I wanted to do and where I wanted to eat. They had a 5:00 or 8:45, so 5:00 it was. When we arrived and checked in, the hostess automatically said Happy Anniversary. That was great! Then when we were sat at our table, our server also said Happy Anniversary and also ensured they reviewed the allergy I mentioned when I booked the reservation. The food and service were immaculate! Can't wait to go again! We ordered the Bacio Di Mila and Ciao Cetriolo to drink, which were so perfect and refreshing. The Ruchetta had the perfect flavor, two orders of Fiori Di Zucca since one isn't enough and an order of Linguine Limone. The restaurant plays amazing music, it's a vibe! read more

My review has todo with our Large Party, What happens when you try to cancel reservations, Food & Service. We were Fountainbleau Guests Mother Wolf was on our top list to try for our party of 6 The day of our reservation 2 of our friends unfortunately we're not feeling 100% so we called to ask for their cancellation policy they said if we canceled we would be charged ( I think they mentioned it being $50 each) The night of our reservation: 2 we're running late due to not feeling 100% The other party went down to honor reservation time From what they told us they were sat but couldn't order any drinks or food until we (other 2) got there. Once we all sat down The waiter was a little dismissive not too helpful when we were asking about certain food questions & recommendations. Food that we all shared: Sfincione Skirt steak with arugula & frites A second Arugula Salad Bruschetta Drinks: we all got a cocktail each The Drinks were great As our food was being prepared another waiter came by and told us she would be taking over the first one And I'm glad she did because she was friendly, helpful, attentive and good vibes. Honestly the Food & Drinks were all amazing! We all agreed everything was so delicious - the flavor the sizes, and how yummy the drinks were - we were also glad that we shared because we were feeling satisfied and full. :) We also got a sweet treat for 2 birthdays being celebrated which was cherry on top (I love when restaurants offer this) The Ambience: I was jamming to their playlist love the song selection from old school r&b - hip hop songs to other variety The Restroom were clean The restaurant appearance itself was beautiful, sexy, felt private beautiful decor. I'm a Vegas resident so while I was there was already planning my next visit soon. ( That's when I know I found something good) Definitely recommend for Dates, GNO, Birthday Celebrations. read more

I'm not gonna lie--I didn't love it. While there were several things about our experience at Mother Wolf that were great, the overall dinner was simply meh--especially considering the price and portion sizes. Keeping things simple, we kicked things off with the oxtail meatballs and calamari. It was a tasty way to start, offering a nice variety of savory flavors that we hoped would set the tone for the night. I won't blame Mother Wolf for this because nothing on the menu suggests the appetizers are meant to be shared, but for anyone dining with a group, just know they're pretty small. The three meatballs and modest serving of calamari were better suited for two people than our party of four. They also don't serve complimentary bread, so we ordered the Focaccia Siciliana with extra virgin olive oil, origano selvatico, and sea salt. It was good, but not memorable enough that I'd order it again for $14. When it came to the entrées, the Boscaiola pizza was easily the star of the night. The spicy pork sausage, mozzarella, and wild mushrooms came together perfectly and packed plenty of flavor. Our other dishes--the short rib ragù, spaghetti, and gnocchi--were all decent, but none of them really wowed anyone. The biggest disappointment was the portion sizes. Less than an hour after dinner, we were already looking for something else to eat. Then again, it's also pretty hard to walk past an In-N-Out Burger and convince yourself you're not hungry, so maybe that played a small part too. The ambiance was classic and elegant, but the music felt out of place. Rap played throughout the restaurant, and while I enjoy all kinds of music (so don't come at me!), it just didn't fit the upscale Italian atmosphere they seemed to be going for. Service was another mixed bag. It started off strong, but after the appetizers, our waitress seemed to disappear. We had a hard time finding anyone to order another round of drinks, get more bread, or ask for Parmesan once our entrées arrived--delivered by someone else. She eventually reappeared when it was time to pay, but despite asking for separate checks, we were given one. It wasn't a huge deal--we split it ourselves--but it added to the overall experience. All in all, I left a little disappointed. I'm used to "Mother" treating me better and serving up meals that leave me smiling. This time, I walked away a little lighter in the wallet, no smiles, and still hungry. read more

Mother Wolf is the real deal. Full stop. My wife and I went in with high expectations and somehow still left impressed. The service alone was worth talking about - we actually joked that it was like a movie. By the time my water hit the table someone was already refilling it. That kind of attentiveness is rare and it set the tone for the whole night. We went all in on the menu. Focaccia to start, then the meatballs, the short rib ragu, and the rigatoni alla carbonara. I'd love to tell you which one was the best but honestly it would be splitting hairs. Everything was top tier across the board, no notes on any of it. The only problem was that we couldn't finish it all, and we weren't about to let any of it go to waste. No microwave in the room, didn't matter. We found a way. You'll do the same once you taste it. If you're in Las Vegas and you're not putting Mother Wolf on the list, you're leaving a great meal on the table. We will absolutely be back. read more

Mother Wolf Las Vegas is an experience from the moment you walk in. The staff goes above and beyond, and I highly recommend consulting the sommelier for wine pairings they guided us to a few perfect selections that elevated the entire meal. The bread was the talk of the table. Unfortunately, I'm gluten-sensitive, so I had to admire it from afar, but my friends raved about it and continued talking about it for the rest of the trip. It's not complimentary, but according to everyone at the table, it's absolutely worth the price. The standout dish was the lamb quite possibly the best preparation I've ever had. It's one of those dishes you'll find yourself thinking about long after the meal is over. The scallops were also exceptional, perfectly cooked and melt-in-your-mouth tender. They are served on skewers with crostini between each scallop, which my friends loved, though gluten-free diners should be aware. You only get three scallops, but they're memorable. The house-made pasta was solid and showcased the quality and care Mother Wolf is known for. Sadly, we were too full to make it to dessert, but that's just another reason to return. If you're in Las Vegas, Mother Wolf is absolutely worth a visit. Between the incredible food, attentive service, and beautiful atmosphere, it feels like a quick trip to Rome. I've heard wonderful things about their Los Angeles location as well, and after this meal, it's definitely on my list. read more

The service was impeccable. The meatballs were excellent and the prosciutto was to die for. The pizza was also very good, however the carbonara was bland and not even a carbonara. I don't know how you can screw up a carbonara. But don't get me started on the lamb belly, simply awful. My previous trip here the lamb chops and the pastas were world class. They really dropped the ball on the new menu. They may have the best tiramisu, but that didn't offset the atrociousites of having the audacity to serve the lamb or "carbonara" or whatever that was. Very disappointed with the birthday dinner. Not to mention the $59 pasta read more

Service was good, friendly and helpful. The focaccia bread starter was perfect and definitely lives up to the hype. The pasta we got was a server recommended, the crispy bacon pieces in it definitely made it. Our main, the wagyu steak was disappointing though. It was a large cut but was really tough and not very flavorful. Most of it was kind of chewy and hard to eat. read more

Service and ambience: Service was quick. Our servers were all attentive, took the time to tell us about the menu, and friendly. I didn't mind the music, but it didn't seem to match the restaurant. They played some 90s rap music, which I typically enjoy as a 90s kid. Food: Let me tell you about the food! Not going to lie. I went hungry and ready to eat. I went with my boyfriend and we decided to get a few different things and share. Cacio e Pepe was cooked well - Al dente, but it was a bit on the salty side for me. Broccolini was perfectly cooked. Good texture with a slight crisp still in the vegetable. The branzino was my favorite. Seasoned well so that you could taste the lightness of the fish and still tender. Yum. The calamari was calamari. Didn't stand out, but it did taste fresh and not rubbery at all. The donuts reminded me churros and was a great way to sweeten the palate at the end of a great meal. It was just enough food for two people where we didn't leave feeling like we wanted to die, but we were definitely satiated. Price: I feel the prices were standard for a Strip restaurant, but be ready to pay a bit on the higher side for Italian cuisine. They don't validate for parking so expect to pay to park on top of the meal price if you're visiting specifically for the restaurant. All in all, I would go back and try some more adventurous items in the menu. read more

Checked out Mother Wolf while in Vegas after a round at Wolf Creek. We ordered a good mix of items for the table, and overall everything was solid. We started with the calamari, which was crispy and a great appetizer to share. The Mortazza was probably my favorite dish of the night. The fresh bread with the mortadella, ricotta, pistachios, and lemon was simple but really well done. The Margherita pizza was the standout entrée for me. Great crust, nice char, fresh mozzarella, and just the right amount of sauce. They had a chili oil that paired really well with the pizza. For pasta, we had the Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe and Fettuccine alla Papalina. Both were good and cooked al dente. The cacio e pepe was my favorite of the two. We also shared the Branzino (Italian sea bass)which was cooked well and had great flavor without being overcomplicated. Service was attentive, drinks were good, and the atmosphere felt lively without being too loud. The bill wasn't cheap, but that's expected here. Not everything blew me away, but there wasn't a bad dish on the table either. read more

Fontainebleau has taken the "disguise the restaurant's cuisine with its name" game to a whole new level. Try figuring out what kind of food you're getting at Washing Potato, much less Mother Wolf. Nothing in either name provides even a shred of evidence as to the fare. After eating at both, you'll learn it really doesn't matter. They serve some of the best Chinese and Italian food in Sin City. Mother Wolf has a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels upscale without trying too hard. And whatever you do, do not blow it by skipping the chef's special focaccia because you're pretending to be on a low-carb diet. I could make the argument that if carbs are your enemy, you probably shouldn't have selected an Italian restaurant in the first place. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the name "Mother Wolf" confused you. Order the focaccia. It's about as light and airy as focaccia gets, with a buttery, slightly crunchy exterior that makes you immediately reconsider every dietary promise you made earlier in the day. If carbs are wrong, I don't want to be right. One of our guests ordered the branzino, which arrived with both its head and tail completely intact (at his request). The yuck factor nearly cost Mother Wolf a star, but ultimately I couldn't hold our friend's gross ordering decision against the restaurant. He reported that it was one of the best pieces of fish he'd eaten in his 70 years on the planet. At that age, the sample size is large enough that I'm willing to accept the opinion as expert testimony. The Spiedino di Capesante was equally impressive: Hudson Canyon diver scallops with ciabatta, basil, charred eggplant purée and green garlic salsa verde. The scallops were outstanding. Likewise, the spaghetti arrabbiata and linguini al limone received rave reviews. In fact, dinner eventually deteriorated into a friendly argument over whose entrée was better. Nobody conceded. Nobody needed to. We were all winners. The old saying "When in Rome..." could probably use a Las Vegas amendment: When at Mother Wolf, forget the diet, order the focaccia, get some pasta, and worry about the consequences tomorrow. Finally, there was one glaring omission from the menu: cauliflower. Fortunately, our craving was satisfied when we noticed our server Eddie's ears. Eddie was terrific--friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We felt fortunate he apparently decided to leave the Octagon and pursue a career in fine dining. Great atmosphere, excellent service, outstanding Italian food and a meal that generated an argument over who ordered best. Five stars for Mother Wolf. And five rounds for Eddie. read more

This is a fairly fancy restaurant in Fontainebleau located along the Strip. It was convenient for us to go as we were in the area, but they were fully booked for the entire Thursday night (probably the EDC rush), so we were advised the only way to get seated is at the bar first come first served, which luckily only waited 2 minutes before a party left. We got the fiori di zucca (squash blossoms with ricotta) and gamberi in salsa verde (blue prawns). These are 2 appetizers that were fairly hearty, so we were adequately satisfied after that. But it is a bit pricy - after tax and tip, it was over $80 just for 2 appetizers. The quality of the food is pretty good. I really loved the squash blossoms - deep fried and crunchy in some aspects, and filled with lots of ricotta at the base, so definitely be careful in eating it! Despite not as much flavor, it was not one dimensional at all. The blue prawns were really good. A bit unexpected that the head has flavorful juice that is not bitter at all - so do not skip out on the shrimp head. The prawn itself is really fresh and the sauce is fairly flavorful. Service is okay - a bit brisk, while I was expecting a bit more attentiveness for a restaurant of this caliber. read more

I love this restaurant. When we arrived, I commented to my date that the banquets in the bar looked comfortable. We ended up seated there and the seats felt so good. We ordered three dishes we had before that are knock-your-socks-off delicious. 1. The Misticanza Del Campo Salad $24 - easily one of the best tasting salads in all of Las Vegas. 2. La Mortazza $22 - High-quality mortadella is difficult to get where I live. The sandwich is incredible. I save ¾ of it to eat on my flight home 2 days later. So good! 3. Tagliata Di Manzo $72 - This steak is tastier than the rib eye at Triple George. The potatoes are crispy and delicious too. Tried the pizza for the first time. The Margherita $28 was very yum. The two pastas we tried sort of missed the mark because of the flavor and extra load of butter. The Linguine alla Vongole $44 had terrific pasta, very well made with great tasting clams. The overall flavor of the dish was just odd. We also got the Rigatoni Cabonara $35. I loved the pasta itself and the first couple of bites were heavenly. But the richness from the overload of butter started to hit hard and heavy. That's a lot of food for 2 people. The timing of the service wasn't controlled great so I ended up with a plate on the seat next to me. It is a stunning, beautiful restaurant that is doing a lot things amazing. read more

The bread was so soft and melts in your mouth. Steak was great and the potatoes in the salad were perfectly crispy! Such a beautiful space as well. I want to try more of their pastas next time but i highly recommend trying Mother Wolf if you are in Vegas! read more

(3.5/5) Mother Wolf is Chef Evan Funke's restaurant and the supposed embodiment of Roman mythology mixed with Italian cuisine. For starters, the interior was gorgeous with dim lights, warm pottery tones, and comfy lounge seating. Our full party was required to be sat, but the hostess desk was flexible with us being a bit late to our reservation. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but some things did fall short for me. Let's dive in... Our server was a charming lad who walked us through the menu and recommended some dishes. Since everything was in Italian, it was hard to follow what we were ordering (apart from staple dishes we'd already heard of). For example, the focaccia on their menu is called 'sfincione' (Sicilian) which I was not familiar with. It would have been appreciated if the waiter walked through things with a slower pace and repeated back our order with some English. For appetizers, we had the calamari, focaccia, beef tartare, and the green salad. The focaccia was soft and delicious, but too salty for our liking. Although most of the appetizers felt standard, the salad stood out to us so much that we ended up ordering another one! The dressing is super light, refreshing, with a hint of sweetness and I liked the added zucchini in there for texture. Pasta portions felt a bit small, but otherwise the texture and freshness of the in house made pasta was amazing. The best pasta dish was definitely the carbonara - sauce was absolutely divine (rich with a bit of creaminess, and not too salty). We actually had a mishap and the server sent us the linguine al limone instead of the vongole and they were nice enough to let us keep it free of charge. My second favourite was definitely the linguine alle vongole. There was an excellent portion of clams and they tasted sweet and fresh. I thought it was funny that they garnished the spaghetti with a red hot chilli pepper, but the spaghetti was nowhere near spicy. Everything else didn't feel particularly memorable for me. The server assistant at our table also removed my friend's plate with some of his food still on it. I believe it is best practice to check with the diner if they're finished with their plate before clearing it. I was pleasantly surprised at the branzino. Normally, I'm not a big fan of grilled fish but I thought the green sauce was appetizing and pleasant. I also liked the choice of garnishes (tomato, eggplant, squash) and the side broccolini paired nicely with it as well. Finally, dessert ended on a middle note for us. As a tiramisu lover, I run a rating of all the tiramisus I've had at every Italian restaurant. Unfortunately, this one was a bit too sweet and the bitterness from the espresso didn't come through enough. However, it was still well portioned and the donuts were a unique dessert to try as well (although it was rather sweet as well). The strawberry gelato was also refreshing. Lastly, (not pictured) but many of my party ordered drinks and the general consensus was that they were a hit. Their take on an espresso martini (1790) was especially strong in coffee taste, but delicious. I also sipped the mama rhea which was a fun apple fruity tasting cocktail. A funny note on the side - If anyone gets confused about the washroom there are small signs in English next to them that indicate whether it is the men's or the women's. The Italian labels left some of our friends confused and they didn't know which bathroom to go into lol. read more

This is the second time I have tried this location. The first time was a year ago, everything was overwhelmingly salty. The service and vibes were incredible, so I figured I would give them another shot. This go around, the pasta wasn't great. The noodles were very al dente, apparently it was the style/intentional given the "Roman" style but it was too much and they were not like that last year. Our waiter was very defensive to our comments when we shared our honest and respectful input. I will try the Hollywood location to compare as I hear it's incredible, but as for the Vegas location I have lost hope. I was maybe considering trying the pizza but I heard word from other locals that they were not good and not worth it. Even the Tiramisu missed the mark with its excessive amount of cocoa powder on top. So I will never eat here again, for those visiting, there are many other great Italian spots I would recommend. read more

We stayed at Fontainebleau and I must say it is quite spectacular. The restaurant scene there is trendy and Mother Wolf is a special treat. We were especially impressed with the level of service we received from our server Jonathon. The food was absolutely delicious as well. We ordered the squash blossoms to start, they were absolutely a must. We shared a pizza and a pasta dish with the short rib and it was flavored to perfection. The vibe was lively, but also a volume that allowed us to converse amongst ourselves. We so enjoyed the entire experience and will absolutely put this on the list for our next visit. read more

Dining at Mother Wolf inside the FontaineBleu felt like stepping straight into my Italian grandmother's kitchen with a glamorous and elegant twist. The restaurant itself is sophisticated and regal, with a beautiful ambiance that makes the entire experience feel special from the moment you sit down. I ordered the Rigatoni alla Carbonara made with guanciale, egg, pecorino romano DOP, parmigiano reggiano, and black pepper. It was absolutely incredible, rich and authentic Romana cuisine. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. I also had the Fiori di Zucca, delicate squash blossoms filled with ricotta romana and topped with parmigiano reggiano. They were light, flavorful, and a perfect start to the meal. What made the experience even better was our server, Rocco. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. Service like that truly elevates the whole dining experience. Between the warm nostalgia of the food, the classy atmosphere, and the excellent service, this was a memorable meal. Molto buono! read more

I love a meal where the bread is the focal point. The focaccia is probably the best thing on the menu. The pizza was a blend of Neapolitan style with an American/NY influence. Mostly resembled Neapolitan but much more crispy and less wet on the crust. A perfect marriage of two styles. We also ordered 2 pastas that were good but nothing to run back for. It's hard to go to an Italian restaurant and not get a pasta, but they were probably my least favorite part of the meal. Lastly, the tiramisu was some of the best I've had. read more

Just noticed that it's been a full two years since I first reviewed Mother Wolf! After several more visits, it is safe to say that this is one of my very favorite restaurants in Vegas. I branched out on the menu and have found so many more favorites! The Linguine al Limone is a must have, and the gnocci (pomodoro or truffle) is so good - it's made with ricotta! Their pizzas are wonderful! But more than the food, it's the service here and the people that makes it a mandatory destination on every trip for me - and often multiple times in one trip. And yes, their branzino is still top-tier! I can always count on a great soundtrack too. Good vibes! read more

Not just good- unreal! The service was thoughtful, helpful, and personal. Our waiter was actually from Italy, accent and all, and he was wonderful. We had the arugula salad first. I was perfect! We couldn't stop talking about it. We also had the focaccia. Now, I was thinking it was just break but it wasn't. It was little pillows of heaven. And we had the carbonara. We ended the meal with the doughnuts, which we agreed were some of best we've ever had. It was all great. I only wish we had more room to try more items. I also had the lavender cocktail. It was not too sweet and overall very refreshing. The restaurant is located within the Fontainebleau hotel where we were staying. We loved the coastal, chic decor that reminded us being beachside in Italy. We've been talking about the meal daily since we've returned. Can't wait to go back. read more

Mother Wolf - Interior view - Pizza Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Mother Wolf is probably going to get 4 stars from this review because we ate at Carbone Riviera the night before and it is difficult to match that place. Anyway, my wife and I went on a date night during our couples trip to Vegas and picked Mother Wolf. I am a particular fan of Felix Trattoria in Venice, so going to another Even Funke restaurant made perfect sense. Our table had a great view of the open kitchen and the restaurant exuded fine dining Italian. Service was top notch, and most of the food was also. If there was one thing that kind of surprised me was when I told the Somm that I'd like to keep our bottle of red wine below $300, he suggested we better stick to the by the glass list. He wasn't kidding. We've been to a bunch of fine dining and expensive establishments, and this wine list had nothing for the more budget conscious wind drinkers. So we ended up doing a Brunello in the $350 range. It was fine, but a better option would have been to order from the by the glass list and try several options. Anyway, back to the important part - the food. We started with the focaccia bread, squash blossoms and short rib meatballs. One thing Mother Wolf does not do is skimp on portion size. Each of these appetizers would have worked for a party of 4. The meatballs were especially good I thought. Next came a couple of pastas - The Rigatoni Carbonara and the Pappardelle Ragu. The Pappardelle was the star of the show with the Carbonara being a little bland compared to other versions we have had. We then had as a shared entree the Chicken and Mushrooms. If any of the dishes were a miss this night, it was this dish. The chicken was cooked well, but everything tasted under seasoned. It would not be a dish we would order again. Because there was only two of us and the apps and pastas were so substantial, we had no room for dessert. Good meal, not a great meal. read more
