Mother Wolf is a Luxury Roman – Italian Restaurant located in the Fontainebleau Casino/Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. The James Beard Award Winning Chef of this restaurant is Chef Evan Funke. Who is a Master Pasta Maker.
The two stand out dishes offered here are the Sfincione (chef’s Signature focaccia) and his cacio e pepe.
It’s a large formal restaurant with more than one dining area, a bar, and an open kitchen. Rap music fills the air…..
We started out by sharing some of the chef’s signature focaccia called Sfincione.
It’s hot out of the oven. It’s fluffy, moist, and tasty.
Next is our pasta course. This was Linguine Al Lemon (oil, lemon, asparagus, pecorino cheese)
It’s delicious, well seasoned and prepared with perfect pasta….
I ordered the tuna alla puttanesca (big eye tuna steak, tomatoes, Taggiasca olives, capers, basil)
This is drop the mike moment – GET THIS – THIS IS THE DISH TO GET! And you need some of the sfincione (focaccia) to help mop things up.
To start with the tuna is also amazing. It’s a large portion and is maybe the freshest tasting tuna I ever had anywhere. It’s also tender as can be. These tomatoes are also the best tasting tomatoes. There are different flavors of basil here, pops of capers, fancy little olives that are different. This dish is a reason on why you would dine here.
My husband ordered the Saltimbocca (pounded veal, prosciutto, sage, white wine, butter, lemon, with a wild arugula salad.)
Tonight the veal is a little tough and dry….but still edible. Instead of our waiter waiting for us to take a few bites…Instead he asked us how the plates were as soon as they arrived. We told him that the plates looked good……
The wild arugula salad.
My husband said that this salad was very good and insisted that I taste it…..I thought the vinegar used was incredibly harsh. I can’t eat it but then again I am more sensitive.
