The TONNARELLI CACIO E PEPE was amazing! Best I've ever had! The DIAVOLA LA NOSTRA PIZZA ROMANA was fantastic as well. This place is beautiful! Server was friendly and helpful. Only complaint was the music seemed too loud for a nice dark romantic space. I will dream about that Cacio de Pepe....sad that this place is 275 miles away from home. read more

12/10 experience! So the entrance is lavish. Parking is scarce but we were able to find parking close by. We were greeted by the hosts and it was bustling in there! We got sat right away (make that reservation to save the headache) and since we were used to the LA and Vegas location so I was ready to order. We started with the focaccia and got the mortadella bread as well. Got some meatballs which are better than the traditional ground beef kind as the meats shredded! Then the 2 diavolo's came and we should've gotten a different second pizza but now we know for next time! AND THEN the cacio and rigatocini came out which we also very much enjoyed. The music and ambiance is a little loud so it's hard to hear and it's a little dark to read the menu but I absolutely love it here and would do it all over again. Thanks for having us! read more

We made a reservation a few days in advance and grabbed a drink at the bar as we arrived a bit early. It's a really nice space and I'd come here just to grab drinks if you're looking for a classy spot. We ended up being seated at a high top, which is just the tables at the bar area. Next time I'd do a better job asking for a seat at the dining room or even overlooking the kitchen in order to watch the chefs in action. Lara was our server who was a rockstar. She knew the menu and was able to make good recommendations. We started with a Margherita pizza was thin and had a crisp, came out quick and was delicious. Good to split between two instead of bread service. Our mains were the Cacio y Pepe which was fresh and had a peppery flavor. Not bad but not my favorite. Rigatoni ragu was delicious and was my fav. I'd order this again. All the pasta is freshly made in house. Finally, we ordered a Banana bread dessert which was good for two and not too sweet. It was served with a scoop of banana flavored ice cream. I'd come here again as in my opinion it's much better than some of the overhyped Italian restaurants that you see on the gram in Miami. Make sure you make a reservation on Resy. read more

I finally went to Mother Wolf and it fully delivered. The vibe alone is worth it , dark, moody, romantic, and effortlessly cool. It feels like a place you go when you want the night to feel special. The food was insane. I had the short rib ragu, which was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. The focaccia bread and the was soft, warm, and dangerous in the best way. We also ordered a seafood pasta in a white sauce (don't remember the exact name, but wow), and it was perfectly balanced and so fresh. And the pizzas? To die for. We also had the short rib meatballs and they were unreal tender, flavorful, and honestly unforgettable. Service was smooth and attentive without being too much, which just added to the overall experience. Mother Wolf isn't just dinner, it's a whole moment. Perfect for date night, a celebration, or anytime you want amazing food in a seriously beautiful setting. I'd go back again and again. read more

This restaurant is very nice, the music is nice, but the light are so dim that you could barely see the person in front of you. To be able to see the menu everyone had to turn on the light on their phone. We got there early like at 7 pm and the ambiance was nice all around but when people started to get there , the noise of people talking made you have to yell to the people in your table to be able to speak. There were a lot of personnel from the restaurant around, and even with that, the service was slow. We had to call on the waiter every time to get water in our glasses, even more after finishing with a plate, the dirty plates were left there for a long time. The food had good flavor, but the portions were a bit skimpy.. This is not my type of restaurant. read more

So my sister and I went there just for a little catch-up for girls night and it was such a lovely experience. The food was delicious. We ordered the Barada dish and to our surprise we were told that the Barada was flown in from Italy and yes, it was giving Italy all the way we also had some delicious Tartar. I cannot wait to go back. It is definitely a different type of vibe so if you are a tartare person, I highly recommend it. It is just the texture the visual it's 10 out of 10 and the portion size is amazing for the price definitely by far. One of my top tarts I've ever had our pasta was pretty pretty OK nothing to rave about but you can definitely tell that the pasta was homemade. My sister had the short rib I believe and she said it was phenomenal. We also had a dessert and that was just delicious as well all around 100% delicious I will say that the staff was amazing. The operational manager came by and he was charming and talkative. Our server was also great and you can just tell the hospitality customer service is A1 there which is something that you don't really see anymore in Miami. read more

Mother Wolf is a vibe! I went a few weeks ago with some friends and we loved the experience. I must say I love the music they play here and although I wouldn't consider this place to be a dinner party, it definitely is lively and you can jam during dinner. The food is delicious. Do not miss out on the Fiori Di Zucca, which are squash blossoms that are exceptional. We got two pastas and I loved both. The rigatoni carbonara and the cacio e pepe were both solid choices that I would definitely get again. We had other stuff as well and everything was up to par. So you truly cannot go wrong here. Our server, Valentin or Valentino, was very helpful and attentive. I love it here and will be back soon! read more

I did not have a good experience here -- period. I came with a group and because the restaurant is so beautiful, we expected the food to be on par. It was not. From salty pasta to undercooked pasta to bland calamari and an inedible artichoke. I privately messaged the restaurant as I figured don't need to air my grievances publicly. At first they were apologetic and wanted to invite me back in. Then.... They ghosted me. That was the final straw. read more

Hidden lovely restaurant in design district. We sat at the bar but the restaurant is much larger and really cool. Open kitchen and the smells are amazing. The bartender knew his stuff and told us about the menu and even some history. He recommended the carbonara and it was good but not great. My friend actually hated it when she tried it haha. But she got old fashions and loved those. I think it would be worth coming back to try other food options. read more

We finally made it to Mother Wolf and it honestly lived up to the hype. We started with the meatballs and the classic focaccia, and I'm still thinking about them. The focaccia was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside, super flavorful on its own like a donut. But the real standout was the meatballs. I've had a lot of meatballs at different Italian spots, and these were completely different in the best way. The texture and flavor were just next level.... super tender, rich, and clearly made with a lot of care. Not your typical heavy, overly saucy version. Service was great and everything felt very intentional. Definitely a place I'd come back to, especially just for those meatballs again. read more

Boyfriend surprised me for our anniversary and as an Italian food lover, I was already sold before we sat down. We had reservations (thankfully), and we were seated right away which for me is always a good start. I was not expecting the interior, it's absolutely stunning! High ceilings, dim lighting, and the perfect hip-hop playlist. Portions are definitely on the smaller side, so come prepared to order. Which that's what we did, we ordered 2-3 appetizers, a thin Italian pizza, and 2 different pastas. The Cacio e Pepe with the black truffle was rich and creamy. Every dish was well balanced. Dessert - I got the classic tiramisu and my boyfriend got the banana bread with cream and bananas on top. Perfect way to finish the meal. It's on the pricier side, but the food, the vibe, and overall experience, it's absolutely worth it. read more

Mother Wolf is a place that has been on my list of places to try and I am so happy that I finally did! The restaurant is beautiful and there was a very cool atmosphere! Our server was fantastic and attentive during our experience. We also did not wait a long time to receive our drinks and food aside from it being quite busy! I really enjoyed the suggestion of sharing the food options so we were able to try different things from the menu! Our table shared the focaccia bread called "Sfincione in Bianco" and it was delicious and we also shared one of their pizzas Diavola, which had a little bit of spice to it but overall amazing! We also shared two pasta dishes: Linguine al Limon (lemon pasta) Rigatoni all' Amatriciana I really enjoyed their lemon pasta but their Rigatoni was also delicious! It reminded me of a spicy rigatoni (minus the vodka sauce) Overall I really enjoyed my dining experience at Mother Wolf and I would definitely recommend this spot for a nice date night or family dinner! read more

Mother Wolf is undeniably one of the sexiest restaurants in the Design District. The vibe is immaculate: great music, stunning décor, and definitely a place where reservations are a must. We came on a Friday with another couple and ordered everything to share, as recommended. The standout of the night was the beef tartar incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. Easily our favorite dish. We tried two pastas: the spaghetti arrabbiata and the truffle pasta special (which they let us know was $150). I usually love al dente, but the spaghetti was extremely firm and honestly not a big enough portion to share. The truffle pasta was good, but not memorable. We also ordered the steak and a spicy pizza. The steak was flavorful with zero complaints, and the pizza was cooked well-done just how I like it. The short rib meatballs were another highlight rich sauce and really enjoyable. The squash blossoms needed a little salt but were overall good. Bonus points for having a knowledgeable sommelier who was super helpful. Overall: You come here for the vibe the atmosphere is beautiful, the energy is perfect for a sexy date night or a fun night out with friends. But the food itself was just okay. Gorgeous experience, but not a standout. read more

service: The service here was extremely slow on a Friday night. Perhaps my friend and I looked too young (AKA looked like we didn't need servicing). No one came by to check in how the food was. When we accidentally received the wrong item, it took multiple attempts at flagging down a waiter and almost 10 minutes before someone came by. Ambiance: It was extremely loud in here and I found myself shouting for most of the conversation. At least since it's so loud, you can't really eavesdrop on neighborhood conversations. Dark and perfect spot to dress up, snap some pics. Good for dates, girl dinner, or celebrations. Food: The food... the food is good. I'm not mad about anything I ate except the pizza labeled as a focaccia (the focaccia romana). There just wasn't any carb dishes that wowed me. We also got the daviola (pepperoni pizza) and gnocchi de ricotta. The octopus salad was my favorite. More octopus than I expected, fresh, and a herby. read more

Every pasta dish we tried was absolutely delicious! The servers were really friendly and professional. Rigatoni All'Amatriciana was the BEST dish out of the 3 pastas we ordered.

My husband and I chose this spot for my birthday dinner, and they exceeded every expectation. After mentioning the occasion in our Resy reservation, we arrived to find a beautiful entryway and a warm welcome from the hosts. I was touched to find a personalized menu titled "Happy Birthday Tiffany!!!"--a lovely gesture that made the night feel special right from the start. The service was seamless; our waiter and the entire staff worked in perfect harmony. As for the food: * Short Rib Meatballs: Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. * Focaccia Romana Rosa: Amazing texture and the flavors really popped! * Gnocchi di Ricotta: Incredibly rich and flavorful. * Mezzi Rigatoni alla Carbonara: The sauce was decadent, and the bacon was perfectly crisp. We finished with a cappuccino (which my husband claimed was one of the best he's ever had) and the tiramisu, which literally melted in our mouths. To top it all off, they brought out a complimentary chocolate cake with a candle. It was a flawless experience and a wonderful place to dine! read more

I've been dying to come to Mother Wolf, and it's been at the top of my list since I first heard about it. The vibes, the décor, and the overall ambience did not disappoint..everything felt warm, stylish, and inviting. On top of that, the service was absolutely top notch. To start, I had the Bacio di Lavanda drink which was Grey Goose vodka, Tanqueray gin, and lavender which was beautifully balanced and refreshing. My boyfriend went with an Old Fashioned, and he loved it just as much. For appetizers, we tried the Battuta di Manzo which was hand-cut filet mignon tartare with carciofi fritti, parmigiano reggiano, egg yolk, and lemon and the Burrata..both were outstanding. For mains, we ordered the Cacio e Pepe, which was rich and flavorful, though a touch heavy on the black pepper for my taste. I actually preferred the Boar Ragu, which was hearty and so satisfying. We ended the night with some dessert and went with the Tiramisu and Mango Sorbet. Mother Wolf completely lived up to the hype. Great atmosphere, incredible food, and excellent service I can't wait to come back and try the pizza next ! read more

The service was phenomenal. Every so often we would have our water glasses refilled without even asking. Our server, Felipe was great. He explained every aspect of the menu for us and provided amazing recommendations. Very attentive throughout the entire restaurant overall. Every single item we ordered was actually perfect, I was in absolute awe. My favorite item was the fiori di zucca, it really stole the night for me. It had ricotta and parmigiano filled inside and all I can say is WOW. The focaccia bread was so warm and fluffy, it was sprinkled with seasoning on top beautifully. The burrata was very fresh and the oil they drizzle on top is the finishing touch of flavor. Now for our entree....that Cacio e Pepe was creamy and probably one of the best I've had in a while. My husband ordered a spicy pasta that he really enjoyed. Now for cocktails we had espresso martinis and mine was pretty good with vodka, I wasn't feeling my husband's with tequila. The dessert though.....that tiramisu was probably top 5 in my book. The portion was amazing, I was so full but I had to finish it. You can tell it was made with lots of love. Overall, I highly recommend you check this spot out. They make the experience very intimate and special by the little details, such as the happy anniversary printed on a custom menu. read more

The service was incredible and our waiter went above and beyond. Most of the food was delicious and loved the desserts. My husband and I went for our anniversary and they made it pretty special, and the restaurant has a nice ambiance. The reason I took out one star is because while we were waiting for our table, inside, sitting by the host desk, there were people asking us for money and food. I don't mind helping the less fortunate, but it was weird inside of the restaurant. Also, even though the food was good I felt that every plate was priced higher than it should be based on what we are getting. Loved the salad, and the drinks were ok, but not outstanding. read more

This was an interesting experience. The ambiance and design are really nice. Seems very similar to Sparrow, modern, old school hip hop, comfy but also upscale, etc. It too about 25 mins for us to be seated because our reservation was changed from main dining room to hi-tables (then we had to wait for it to be switched back). Definitely go with the main dining room because the hi-tops are in the bar area. The menu prices are not accurate on Yelp and are not shown on their site. We shared the pizza as an appetizer and it was very good. Thin crust, Neapolitan, very flavorful sauce. We also had rigatoni and limone fettuccine. Both dishes were enjoyable. An odd thing is almost all of the pastas don't include proteins. Pretty annoying. That said, it was a good experience. read more

The service here was 12/10!!! Alejandro our server was amazing and the manager, I am blanking on her name, was also fantastic. Our pasta dish ended yo taking a long time to come out - instead of just coming over and apologizing, they ALSO comped our entire meal. I mean, that was something I've never experienced before, they were attentive, understanding and gave us the best experience. The manager is extremely kind, professional, and she was awesome! This restaurant group did an amazing job choosing her as their manager!!! Now let's get to the food - truly it was all sooooooo good. I'm not sure the food was a 5/5 BUT I for sure will be going back just based on their service alone. Pizza was SOOOOO good, salad was amazing and fresh, pasta was good, but I really want to try the gnocchi next time - I saw sooo many people get it and it looked unreal!!

First off, congrats to chef funke for opening up a location in Miami! i watched your netflix episode on Chef's table, and your story is incredible! I love how passionate you are about pasta making! This restaurant is stunning! it gives off Carbone-vibes, old-school, mobster, chic, with a great playlist. Our hostess got us seated promptly. The hightop tables are super comfy and good for people watching at the bar. We started with a cocktail: the santa maria was outstanding with marscapone infused grey goose, espresso, and i think cinnamon on top. Great cocktail without a hangover. My friend had an espresso martini with tequila. To start we had -their famous focaccia: it was warm, salty, and flavorful. Not a must-have if you are ordering more pizza and pasta. probably would have skipped in the future -meatballs- weird inside texture and overcooked on the outside, although i liked the marinara sauce a lot. would skip For mains we had -diavola: pizza with sauce, a little cheese, very thin and crunchy with a good amount of spice and pepperoni. a little hot honey would knock this out of the park, but i liked it! -rigatoncini alla vaccinara: okay, pasta with shortrib, wouldnt pick this in the future. on his episode on chefs table, he said with ragu you must let it be and just cook, it was definitely tender but i didn't like it on pasta, maybe it needed more red sauce -gnocci: MVP of the evening, you must get this! delicious vodka sauce and soft pillows of gnocchi! All the pastas are homemade. I would like to come back and try some more pastas, like the lemon pasta! read more

Loved the decor. Rich, warm and eclectic. We got seated quickly and our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. Started with the focaccia. It was warm and soft and perfect. Split the salad with the burrata next. The burrata was amazing and the croutons added a real depth to it. I ordered the gnocchi and it was delicious. My sister got the spaghetti with pomodoro. That was the star in my opinion. The sauce was the perfect. Has the banana desert. It was so good. The center had a nice crunch that was very pleasing. Would love to come back and try the pizza. read more

Full disclosure I'm not an Italian food fan when I go out to eat. I have a hard time justifying pasta for $35-50. But my wife loves it. The ambience is spectacular. Service was excellent, very attentive staff. My kids were sunburnt from the day and I asked if there's a local pharmacy to its location, server was very helpful. I had the fresh pasta with boars meat sauce, tasty. Wifey had the gnocchi. Focaccia & meatballs for apps. Tasty, not earth shattering. If I lived in Miami I'd definitely enjoy sitting at the bar. read more

The ambiance here is chic with upscale Italian vibes. I was extremely impressed with the food. The Margherita pizza was one of the best I've ever had, even as someone who isn't a huge pizza fan. The super thin crust, combined with the rich, flavorful cheese and sauce, was out of this world! Everything else we ordered was just as delicious. The meatballs were flavorful, and the beef tartare had a nice crunch from the onions, adding great texture. Service was good, and I can definitely see myself coming back here again. read more

Ok let me start by saying: "this was absolutely one of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant"! Everything, everyone truly EXCEPTIONAL! My cousin who's a foodie like me wanted to check this restaurant for awhile & now that it's Miami Spice, we came to try. Decor so nice & fancy like being somewhere at an upscale restaurant in 'Uptown NYC' w/ a vintage flare! Started out with being greeted, welcomed & taken to our table. Then our server comes introduces himself 'Zach' then after him, I guess his helper 'Ana'. Ok seriously these two ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! You both made our experience even so much better! So now to the food. So there was a little glitch in the beginning. Unfortunately we were given the wrong menu (as we placed the order) Zach came telling us so we had to reorder but guess what he did? He brought the Mngr & mngr wanted to know what was that I wanted from the wrong menu & I replied 'the wild boar'. Well on top of our new order Mngr gave us the 'wild boar' w/no extra charge. Omg really?! We didn't expect tht! Everything we ordered was just freakin delicious!!!!!! It was such a treat for us from beginning to end. We can't THANK YOU enough! Yes it's pricy but it's worth it! This is how it's supposed to be! Ambiance, service & food! Plus I love that it's not BUGIE like most in 'Miami Beach'. Oh wait one more thing, great selection of music! We didn't stop singing & bopping our heads! Job well done Chef Evan Funke BRAVO!!! read more

There's a lyric in Ice Cube's "Steady Mobbing" about jumping out of the low rider to come back 10 pounds lighter from the bathroom. I mention this in a 5-star review because Mother Wolf's soundtrack during dinner last night was all the classic hip-hop of my youth - including Ice Cube - and the bathroom was really nice and well maintained, even with candles. There's also a grand piano near the hostess stand. I stopped by Mother Wolf last night after going to "Luminosa" with a friend. We were looking for a place to eat after walking around looking at pretty lights and had not made dinner plans. Mother Wolf was close by and we decided to try it. After parking, we spoke with Vanessa the hostess who was excellent in finding a table for us where our server Jay & his team were attentive throughout our dinner with wine service and pacing of our plates. The view from our table was dimly lit, in a comfy booth with an Italian villa vibe. It's a great spot to take someone to dinner. We decided to order a variety of appetizers. I loved the "SUPPLI AL TELEFONO", essentially an Aranci croqueta stuffed with guanciale (pork), pomodoro and pecorino. This delicious bite was fully loaded, and not just breading. My friend's favorite was their "FIORI DE ZUCCA" (squash blossoms with stuffed with a deliciously cheesy blend of fresh ricotta and parmigiano. The meatballs could have used a dash more sauce, but were still overall yummy. We made sure to save space to enjoy their MARINARA CON BURRATA pie. Topped with a cool ball of burrata, this pie loads a smooth blend of oregano, garlic and pomodoro on a just-right crispy theme crust. It went perfectly with my dry Chianti (more than one glass of course!) Make sure to ask for their dessert menu. We shared a slice of a wonderful cacao and pistachio pie with mascarpone cream and cherries. Highly recommend! read more

It was such a special evening from the moment we got there we were greeted in a warm, friendly manner. They even put his name on the top of the menu wishing him a happy birthday. The food was excellent. The service was superior and they really made a memorable experience for all of us. We definitely will become regular patrons. He even hung the menu up in his room! read more

Came here again to try their September Miami Spice and some other dishes. BATTUTA DI MANZO (beef tartare): 4/5 was the best item out of everything we ordered (minus the dessert). The first bite was rather refreshing from the lemon and then the saltiness hits. Texture is like a medium rare steak but cold. Really like the pairing with the crunchy bread. RIGATONCINI AL CINGHIALE (wild boar rigatoni): 3/5 was ok. Kind of basic tasting. Felt like it needed like some more pepper for a kick. It just tasted kind of mild and a little plain and lacking something but it wasn't bad or anything like that, just lacking something. Tiramisu: 5/5 was the highlight of everything we had. It tasted really fresh and creamy. My friend and I agree that this is the best tiramisu we ever had. He also tried like almost all of the desserts here and said the tiramisu is the best out of them all. FIORI DI ZUCCA (squash blossoms): 3/5 it was ok for me. I do like the batter, it was light and crunchy, a little airy. It reminds me of tempura batter. Filling wise, it was ok for me, it was a little too heavy for me and a little bit salty. Wouldn't get this again. DIAVOLA (pepperoni pizza): 2/5 was rather heavy, too rich and too salty for me. I had to force myself to finish just 1 slice of it. They baked the basil leaves together into the pizza. I felt like if they added it on after, it would kind of helped cut down the heaviness and oiliness of the pizza. I wasn't able to taste the basil that they baked into the pizza. Idk felt like today a lot of the dishes were rather salty. We drank so much water. On the way home, we were really thirsty. Service was nice as always. I think I'll just go back for their octopus salad and tiramisu if I do go back. I used their bathroom this time and there was barely any light in the bathroom. Like how does a girl touch up on their makeup when there's barely any light. read more

If Mother Wolf aims to impress, it certainly starts with the décor...but not necessarily in a good way. The interior feels like it was plucked straight out of a gaudy Las Vegas playbook: all flash, no warmth, no intimacy. Towering ceilings give the space an echo chamber of noise. Conversations ricochet off cheap wallpapered walls, and any attempt at a relaxed meal is drowned in the chaos. As for the food? Mediocre at best. Our snide waiter really pushed the squash blooms, but they were overfried, mushy, doughy and the cream inside had been sitting too long as it was lumpy,bumpy and disgusting. Pizza, was just "fine". Spaghetti, while I love al dente, this was nearly hard and gummy with no pizazzas, spicy fun that an arriabata should deliver. Wine selections, we tried three, not worth the $25-30 per glass and came so late. With so much staff I was surprised by the indifference of service level - if you bring out a new dish, bring us. new plates, just dont plop squash blossoms in front of us expecting us to to use the plate they arrived on with nothing else in front of us. Unless you chase the latest buzz, feel like you need to be "seen" (Although go to Carbone or Sunny's), or want a Las Vegas grotesque decor and average food, save your money and go to a place like 'O Munaciello where real italians go and theres no pomp circumstance, just good food. And the focaccia bread thats been written about, its good. Thats all I have to say. read more

Ambience- this restaurant gives Italian upscale. It's romantic/chic and over the top. The decor is top tier. You can even watch fresh pasta being made. Service- one thing about restaurants in South Florida is the hostess's are snobby and rude. At Mother Wolf, that is NOT the case. Everyone was friendly/nice and always smiling. You definitely felt welcomed by them. The waiter was exceptional. He recommended incredible dishes. He was personable and charming. He made the dining experience so much more enjoyable. Food- incredible/delicious food. We ordered the focaccia bread, meatballs, Diavola pizza and two different pasta dishes. Everything was cooked to perfection. I can't say what my favorite dish was because it was all amazing. The drinks were well made as well. I had an apple drink that had the perfect amount of sweetness.

From the moment we walked into Mother Wolf Miami, everything felt first-class. The space is stunning -- elegant but still warm and inviting. Service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without being over the top. We started with the focaccia -- absolutely incredible, fresh, and full of flavor. The pasta was the star of the show -- especially the rigatoni all'amatriciana and fettuccine al limone. Both were perfectly cooked and full of authentic Roman flavor. The Diavola pizza was crispy, spicy, and cooked just right. The staff really knew the menu and the wine list, and their recommendations were spot on. Dessert (the hazelnut gelato) was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Mother Wolf is one of the best new Italian spots in Miami -- perfect for date night, a celebration, or just treating yourself to great food in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend making a reservation! read more
