“Great food and cocktails! It's a pretty casual place hidden in West Adams. Just a short 10 min walk for me to get there. We enjoyed all the dishes except a 30+ min wait before the lamb chop came out which was really strange, but totally delicious. The date cake was yummy & they comped another dessert for the wait. The patio seating is in decomposed granite so my black flats are now brown but it was easy enough to brush off.“

“This was our first visit to Mother Wolf. We have previously enjoyed dining at Felix, Chef Funke’s intimate trattoria in Venice. Entering Mother Wolf’s grand, soaring space, one would not expect the warmth of service which smaller venues are able to provide. To our pleasant surprise, the service at Mother Wold was outstanding, with a polished and professional (and friendly) staff endeavoring to provide a level of culinary execution and attentiveness one would expect at Michelin starred venues. Our server, Julia Tanase, was superb, a highly skilled professional (with a deep knowledge of the Chef’s cooking) clearly dedicated to providing gracious customer service.It is clear that Mother Wolf has invested in an experienced management team. Roy Morales, the manager in charge of the restaurant on the night of our visit (a full capacity Saturday night), seemed to be everywhere, keeping a careful eye on each table and closely monitoring the interaction of staff and guests. It was like watching the conductor of a philharmonic, focused on every note. Mr. Morales introduced himself to our table and discreetly asked if he could be of assistance. A restaurant of this magnitude could not function at such a high level without such experienced and skilled professionals at the helm.As to the cuisine, notwithstanding the volume at which Mother Wolf operates (275 seats), the foundation of Chef Funke’s cuisine remains an obsession with the quality of the raw materials - the fish, meat, and vegetables are impeccable - the pristine nature of the products resonate on the plates.At Ms. Tanasae’s suggestion, we began with a selection of appetizers, including the blue prawns in a fragrant salsa verde, ethereally delicate ricotta filled squash blossoms and rich risotto croquettes. Each appetizer was sublime. We then shared a pizza “Quattro Fomaggi”, a thin crusted marvel with a perfect, tangy crust reflecting its slow fermented dough.We followed the pizza with two of Chef Funke’s signature pastas, a Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe and a Rigatoni with Oxtail Ragu. Each was delicious. Mother Wolf’s pasta is outstanding, comparable to the renowned pasta at Rome’s legendary Roscioli and Armando al Pantheon.We then shared the prime ribeye (accompanied by addictive potatoes and a refreshing arugula salad), a richly marbled aged steak perfectly cooked.Desserts were delicious, including a refined Baba al Rum and an elegant Tiramisu.I note that the wine list at Mother Wolf’s seems out of synch with Chef Funke’s soulful cooking. There are few choices under $100 and the selections and producers are disappointing. In contrast, the original wine list at Felix was distinguished for both its producers and value. Hopefully, the wine selection at Mother Wolf will evolve to offer a wider range of price points and more diverse and value oriented selections from Italy’s artisanal producers.This was a memorable dining experience. It is a wonderful place to celebrate a birthday or special occasion. Mother Wolf provides a spectacular framework in which the extraordinary cuisine of Chef Funke can be fully appreciated. Given the scale of the restaurant, the execution of both the kitchen and service team is nothing short of remarkable. Kudos to Chef Funke and his management team.“

Even though we were early, we still did have to wait almost 15min beyond our rez to be seated but, we were delighted when they offered to bring us an appetizer because they were sorry we had to wait so long. Awesome tasting food and they serve breakfast and lunch as well daily.“

It’s nice and on the quieter side if you have a child or want to have a dinner and conversation. I recommend the pesto meatballs or rice ball for starters. The T-bone steak is tender and full of flavor. The pork chops have a beautifully balanced demiglaze and are super tender. The fingerling potatoes on top of the pork chop are crispy and full of flavor. The Brussels sprouts salad is to die for! Every bite had texture with the nuts and grapes. The ricotta cheesecake was amazing too. For dessert, the kicker was the box of cookies. These cookies are made in-house and are literally the best cookies I’ve had. They are muted in sweetness, nice vanilla notes throughout and have a few options in one box. A cookies to eat with a latte or drip coffee. Definitely worth the cost“

Jessica was our host and walked us through the options and answered our questions around the popular options, patisserie section etc and we placed our order. We got the Tartufo Pizza ( it looks big but is good for 2-3 hungry folks) along with the Louie salad ( pretty amazing) and a couple of coffees. The pizza was delicious and is a very unique concept with a floating egg yolk spread carefully on the top. The salad was great as well and added as just the perfect side to the pizza.Once done with our main course, we were ready for the desert and ordered a Chocolate and Hazelnut Beignet along with an Almond, Psitachio, Cherry cake ( you would want to witness its presentation for a while before you devour it ).All in all a great experience though when paying the bill I was rushed a bit into signing the EMV chip reader machine and the tips there start from 25% at a default ( so take your time and pay unless you intend to pay 25% in tips) on top of which there is also a surcharge fees of 5% that is already charged to the bill.PS: Shoutout to Bailey as well who was helping us on our table alongside Jessica as well and catered to our requests so very well.Cheers!!!“

“The restaurant is located on the second floor of Nerano in Beverly Hills (you have to take an elevator up to the second floor through Nerano). This gives the spot kind of a fun speakeasy feel to it. When you get out of the elevator, you walk into a beautifully designed / decorated, cozy, albeit slightly quirky space. It's not large (I think the capacity is 34). Came here for a food event, which I did a review for separately, but this experience in particular was grabbing a drink at the bar. (I did think the food was delicious though and urge folks to come here and give this place a try. I know I want to come back and try more menu items.) The bar is beautifully designed and organized. I found myself perusing and mentally cataloguing the whiskeys as I always do when I go to new restaurants. But this place looked like a place that has fun cocktails. So I ordered The George Michael. The drinks here are really interactive, and the bartenders are super enthusiastic to the point that it's infectious. My drink in particular had some bowls that floated up and you had to catch it with a paddle. Flavor wise it was like espresso martini with a peanut butter twist to it. All in all this place is a great place to grab drinks and/or food. Lots of fun. There's a lot of street parking nearby, but it could get challenging especially during the weekends. I came in the middle of the week and was able to find parking about a block away.“

“My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful time at Rao's, it was our first time dining there. When I made the reservation, all that was available was outdoors, which I was a little worried about. Turns out no worries at all, it is a covered patio and feels like dining indoors. Certainly no cold or rain to ruin the ambiance. Also outdoors was a more sedate environment, the few tables indoors had a far more raucous sound level, and seemed more like where the regulars sit and share stories, apparently loudly! The food and drinks were excellent; the service friendly and prompt, and the maitre d' came by several times to check on us. He really sold the NYC Italian restaurant vibe to a T! Can't believe this place has been here ten years and it took me this long to find it. Will be back again soon!“

“I want to love this place, killer ambiance. Attentive staff.. creative menu.. squash blossoms are amazing.. pasta is very lackluster, I would give it 3 stars at best. Thick overly doughy noodles, sauce lacking flavor. I have eaten all over Italy and I would not even ask it to be on par with that, I have had mom and pops in America with better pasta. Passionfruit gelato was amazing.“

“Absolutely one of the best Italian restaurants (if not the best) in LA. Not a “scene”...just a beautiful, traditional environment that feels very upper east side NYC. Unbelievably delicious food and the service was out of this world. Definitely a little pricey (similar to NYC prices) but worth it, in my opinion. No “influencers”, no “wannabes”, just fine dining with fine people. Will be back again next time I'm on the west coast and will recommend to all of my family and friends. We were there on Saturday night so it was a little bit noisy but that would be my only issue - if u would even call it that. Personally, I like a restaurant to have atmosphere and a little life. But if u want a quiet evening, I'm guessing don't go on a Saturday night. But I loved it. Thanks for a wonderful evening.“

“Great spot if you're visiting from out of town on business; food was great and not too expensive, and there are some seats outside that are heated during the winter.Parking: It's best to park in the garage below the entire area.Kid-friendliness: Very much kid-friendly. Lots of space between the tables so you won't feel like you are encroaching on anyone. They have high chairs if you need it, and generally speaking the menu has a lot of pasta and chicken,Wheelchair accessibility: There is lots of space to maneuver in the restaurant, so should not be an issue for wheelchair bound individuals. The bathrooms are also fairly large and there is a large stall in each of them.“

“Came across Market Venice while wandering. The warm lanterns drew me in, and I immediately felt welcomed by the hostesses. That hospitality was continued on kindly by the rest of the staff. My server recommended the celery root agnolotti, and it was incredible. Tiny but mighty. This place is a fine, elegant bubble in the fun chaos of Venice Beach. Leaving was jarring. I would love to return with a date.“

I couldn't believe I could get delivery all the way over towards Pasadena when they are far over towards the west side. It was worth the extra expense of delivery. Their pizza taste just like you are back in Italy. I know. I'm Italian!“

“Best Italian food and experience you’ll ever have!! The customer service is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. They remember your name and address you by it throughout your meal which is admirable and shows they truly care about their customers. Marco is a genius who has a very special gift. Even though he could have a huge business he instead works 6 days a week and makes every single meal himself to maintain control over the quality of his food. Not only is he a gifted chef, he is hilarious and kind which makes for a memorable and fun experience every time you’re there. This place is truly the best.“

I would highly recommend this place to anyone, but it's important to note that they close early in the afternoon, so be sure to check their hours of operation. Additionally, there is no seating available, so you will have to stand while you eat.“
