“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.“

“Food was amazing! The service was bad! Very expensive but I expected to be better taken care of. They were fully staffed but no one seemed to be working efficiently. We were 8 and none of the food runners ever knew who ordered what. They had to ask on every plate they brought. Not just our table but others as well. I don’t know if they have busboys as our table was never cleared. Plates upon plate stacked up. No one asked if we wanted a second drink and the glasses were never picked up. When we ordered dessert we had to move the 16 empty drink and water glasses to one side, gather the bread plates, wipe everything down and wait for our desserts. It was a busy night but not too busy for bad service. I kinda expected more than diner service at such an expensive restaurant.“

“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.“

“Before we went, I read the reviews to find out the largest complaints and prepare for them. But actually our experience was pretty much perfect. We didn’t have to wait much at all (15 min) when we arrived at 7pm on Saturday. This was lucky. The queue very quickly filled while we waited. Some reviews said hostesses were unfriendly—not true at all for us. Others didn’t enjoy their pizza. But we ordered the Sicilian and white pizzas and loved them. They were even good after they cooled down. You should expect a hefty pizza though! It’s not a thin crust pizza. Between two people we had two pizzas and the Caesar salad. This was the perfect amount of food. We also tried two non alcoholic beverages, a wine and a beer. The beer is shockingly good and you cannot tell it has no alcohol. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. The person at the counter who took our order stood out. He was communicative, accommodating, and welcoming. This is a place I am sure we will frequent ?We left around 9:30pm and there was a long line out the door of people waiting. Reservations are recommended.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options are available.“

This pizza beats out some of the best pizzas I've had growing up in NYC and from many visits to Italy. The crust was perfect, and the combination of the ingredients is ingenious. The fish was also fresh, cooked, and seasoned well. Service was quick. It was on the pricy side for a casual meal, but I would definitely return for the pizza.“

The server was phenomenal in all aspects of the journey. She was pleasant, engaging and comforting in this wide open space. We started with cocktails and she forgave my original drink without a question and replaced it with what I really wanted. Okay, enough with the niceties...the Eggplant Parm was awesome. Heat throughout the dish, fresh Eggplant and and awesome flavor. Round two...was a little tricky. I wanted to try the veal and that wasn't going to happen because they ran out...okay, now what? Chicken Parm w/luiguine pasta. No luiguine but, they had spaghetti. Okay, let's see. Well, first she came with her selection of red wine...homerun. Then, bases loaded, tied game and bottom of the ninth...I won't flinch. She comes to the plate, ready to swing and there it is...a grand slam. Beautifully laid out with a creamy based marinara, nice portion of this spaghetti and a great red wine...clearly exceeded my expectations...nice job and I'm coming back for more. Don't discount the fact that I brought the same dish home and my friend lived it...we will be back. Thanks and I wish you the best luck I can offer to a new upstart restaurant...it's not easy and God bless...“

“3.5/5 This place has been on our list for a few months now after discovering it on social media. We came here on Valentine's Day after I made a reservation a week prior for outdoor seating (indoor reservation was not available for prime dinner hours when I looked). Their outdoor seating is ok. It did have heat lamps which was nice, however I'm not the biggest fan of sitting in the parklet barrier patios which have you sitting like 5 feet from zooming cars on the street. For some reason I was expecting either sidewalk seating or a back patio. I should have done my research. Our server was friendly and the timeliness of everything coming out from drinks, to apps, to bigger plates was perfect. Nothing rushed or slow. We did really enjoy our cocktails which is why I pushed my initial review from a 3 to a 4, however I found everything to be fairly overpriced. For the two of us, the cost was well over $220 with the tip. It was nice that we got to try some different foods, but the portions often were tiny for a high price point. I understand the location being in Los Feliz and LA in general, but this is just more so of a warning/disclaimer. I enjoyed the Pincanha steak. I thought the steak sauce that accompanied it was really tasty. The biggest disappointment to me was that I was under the impression that this place has *live* Brazilian funk music every Wednesday which is why after dinner we walked inside to see if we could grab a drink and check it out, but when I asked an employee, she said it was just a vinyl record. Not sure if this was just for that night, or if I misunderstood, but I just felt like that didn't really make this place all *too* special in the end. For the price point, I'd only stick to this place for a drink or two and move on.“

“If you're looking for that classic, old school family-style Italian dinner in LA, Donna's is the way to go. They have a lot of the classics like pasta Ragu, chicken Parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs, veal picatta, etc. But they also bring a new age flare to some dishes like the lasagna Rollatini (think lasagna but instead of horizontal layers you get tight pinwheels of meaty, salty, cheesy goodness!) and fussili a la vodka with whipped ricotta. The restaurant itself does remind me of a Brooklyn-based Italian mom & pop restaurant with a checkerboard floor. It's a pretty small venue which is probably why it's so hard to get a reservation (you gotta book 1 - 2 weeks in advance at 10 AM on Rezy). This does make for a more intimate dining experience which is nice. We started with the garlic bread. Oh my god this was the best garlic bread I have ever had. The outer crust was so crisp and crunchy. Covered in parmigiano cheese. The inside was perfectly fluffy and so garlicky and buttery. I could not stop eating this bread I was genuinely considering ordering a second. Next we got the Caesar salad which was divine. Perfectly dressed with a fresh dressing and again served with tons of parmigiano. As a group of 3, we got 3 entrees in addition to those starters to share. We chose the chicken Parmesan, the lasagna Rollatini, and the pork ragu. The chicken parm was crunchy on the outside and loaded with cheese. The lasagna was fantastic, my only critique was that it was a pretty small dish but one bite of it was very rich. The pasta sheets were thin, arranged in pretty vertical pinwheels, and there was lots of meaty sauce in between all the layers. The pasta ragu was so good. Perfectly cooked al dente pasta topped with a rich pork ragu sauce. The service was great, our waiter was very friendly and attentive. My only critique was the dessert. The carrot cake was not moist and had a very citrusy flavor which was not what I was expecting. And the cannolis tasted stale. I would skip dessert but otherwise, enjoy a fantastic dinner at Donna's!“

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!“

“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.“

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.

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.“

“This is a retro yet super trendy neighborhood bar that offers strong craft cocktails and some Italian bar food bites. The drinks we tried were all super strong and tasty. The food is good as well but keep in mind that it's fairly small portions more meant as snacks.The atmosphere was top notch! It's pretty crowded even on weeknights, so you'll have to hover a bit to snag a stool or table at peak times. It's pretty loud and small so maybe not the best for groups.Parking: Try surrounding residential streets“

There were 5 of us and we waited maybe 10 minutes and they held off making our food so we could sit and eat. We got desserts but got them to go because we’re headed to the airport soon. I would recommend this place.Be aware it’s a small shop. No bathrooms, and small area for seats, but the food more than makes up for the lack of space.“
