On a short trip to Miami to see Belle & Sebastian in May, we handpicked the best restaurants we…read morecould find, and Mother Wolf stood out as a great place for homemade pasta and pizzas. We made an early online reservation because it was a Saturday evening and we wanted to make sure we got in okay. We split an order of Cacio e Pepe and a Diavola La Nostra Pizza Romana, both of which were absolutely delectable. Food was great. Decor was stunning. Only two negs. They kind of rush you out a bit because they have to turn the tables over quickly, which is understandable. The food arrived in record time! Secondly, yes, I know this sounds really petty, but you're not allowed to drink tap water. I love water, but be prepared to buy a bottle of fancy Italian water for the table, which is fine, but wow.

An opulent failed attempt at fine dining…read more At first glance, the place is impressive -- beautiful cars outside, constant traffic of guests walking in, crisp white tablecloths setting the stage for what appears to be a refined dining experience. Unfortunately, the illusion fades rather quickly. The first sign of trouble arrives with the server sporting a rather impressive lip piercing, followed closely by a colleague whose diamond nose stud could probably be seen from space. Not exactly the ambiance one expects when aiming for "elegant." Despite the abundance of servers floating around the dining room, none seem to notice when your knife dramatically dives off the table and lands on the floor -- where it enjoys a long, lonely stay. Water service is also quite innovative: they simply leave the entire bottle at the table, which seems less about generosity and more about avoiding the inconvenience of returning to refill your glass. The food? Sadly just as uninspired. From the octopus to the $68 Milanese, every dish managed the impressive feat of being completely flavorless. The Milanese arrived with a beautiful crust, which raised hopes... until you realized there was no sauce, no garnish, and nothing to rescue what turned out to be a remarkably bland plate. Meanwhile, the staff appears deeply committed to minimizing effort -- though not shy about judging you directly when the tip doesn't meet their expectations. All in all, this place feels like fine dining in costume. Perhaps a return to the basics of hospitality and service would be a good start... followed by a serious conversation with whoever is currently in the kitchen. Good luck to anyone brave enough to give it a try.

Another delicious carbone experience for the books!!! We came here for a date night. They were able…read moreto seat us right away. We choose the indoor seating this time around, but I think I prefer the outdoor seating. Indoors was lovely. It was dark, sexy, no bugs, and the perfect temperature. We ordered: Faust wine 5/5 All the usual free apps 5/5 Grilled Octopus 5/5 Spicy Rigatoni 5/5 Veal Parmesan 5/5 The service was great! They had amazing team work to provide the perfect high class dinning for guest. I never had to think about water being refilled, wine glass being refilled, or crumbs on the table. They checked in with us just enough. Price: If you have drinks, apps, entree, and dessert expect to spend around $300 or more. Portions: Not the largest portions for "family size" but if it's just two it may be filling enough because they give you bread, cheese, cured meats, and pickled cauliflower for the appetizers. Overall, this is one of our favorite spots and it's truly worth the hype. For it being F1 weekend it was not as hectic as expected.

This review should really be a 3-3.5 star but the STAFF and AMBIANCE is really what drove this 4…read morestar rating. The STAFF: Excellent customer service and ATTENTIVE. Its been awhile since I have experienced such service standards. They knew the menu well, could make recommendations, etc. The AMBIANCE: Its a very cool place. Mysterious and subdued. Definitely a place to BE SEEN! Drinks: Very good though some seemed as if they put much less liquor than what the drink really needed, i.e. various martinis we all questioned on the amount of alcohol in them. Food: First, its a very cool touch that they bring out salamis and some nice breads. Overall though we really were not impressed with the food. Calamari - Not very good. Everyone took one bite and left the rest. Pasta dishes - We ordered MANY different ones. The portion that comes out will not feed a child. One pasta was undercooked, one was over cooked and mushy. One was just OK. Fish Dish - over cooked unfortunately and this was the most expensive dish we had. Chicken - came out and was so rubbery. No one liked it. Desserts - They all looked good. Chocolate cake was the best. Banana flambe was fun to watch but the result was much less than stellar. Cost - This may just be the priciest Italian-esque restaurant that I have ever been to. Prepare to be shocked by the final bill while still being hungry. Will we go back? Probably but just for a drink at the bar. Definitely not the food.

We added the stracciatella to our pasta and it put it on a whole different playing field. Every bite was a combination of fresh cheese, perfectly cooked pasta and some of the best pesto you can find. The one thing I did find a bit underwhelming was the pistachio dessert which was nothing more than pistachios sprinkled over vanilla ice cream. I think there was a lot of creativity left on the table for that one. The wait staff was nice and always ready to refill our water and the outside patio was absolutely delightful with its people watching and lack of cars on the street. This place is definitely worth checking out but be aware that it is a very premium price for pasta so perhaps plan it for a very special occasion.

It's definitely a crowd pleaser. It's always the best appetizer to order. For my entrée I ordered the rock shrimp pasta, and I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed it. The only thing that was a negative is that the shrimp was cut up into tiny pieces and it gets lost in the pasta. I would definitely order this pasta dish again, but it's just something to keep in mind. For dessert, we ordered the pistachio ice cream dessert and the tiramisu. The pistachio dessert is the best dessert that they have. I highly recommend you order it. We were a table with four people, and it comes with four pieces so it was perfect.

We ordered the Valentina and King Bee cocktails to start and they came out delicious! Highly recommend. For entrees we ordered the fettuccine bolognese and the short rib tortellini. We joined the clean plate club with both of these dishes and didn't leave a crumb. For desert we had the espresso martinis tiramisu and once again cleaned the plate. Safe to say the dishwashers were fans of us. The service was impeccable. Food and drinks came out quick, waters were refilled promptly, and our server Alessandro made sure we were taken care of. This is a great date night spot and I would definitely put this place on your radar when in the Brickell area.

Very disappointing experience…read more I ordered the seafood pasta, priced at $34, and was shocked by how small the portion was. The dish felt more like an appetizer than an entrée. For the price, the value was simply not there. The tiny table made the experience even worse, leaving almost no room for plates, drinks, or personal items. Instead of enjoying the meal, I felt cramped and uncomfortable the entire time. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was genuinely disappointing. Charging premium prices while serving such small portions is embarrassing. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning. Shame on them!!!! Please don't go.
