If you’re a fan of the Netflix show Chef’s Table or watched the film Shape of Pasta you’ve undoubtedly encountered Evan Funke, a chef who is obsessed with learning about and preserving the tradition of Italian handmade pasta. The burly, bearded pastaiolo, who is also a two-time James Beard nominated chef, just opened his first Miami restaurant – Mother Wolf, a sibling to his restaurants of the same name in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, in the swanky Design District.
The LA flagship quickly became a critical hit and celebrity hotspot when it opened in 2022, so expect the Miami iteration to be one of the hottest tickets in town as we head into busy season, with Art Basel right around the corner. The restaurant is a partnership between Funke and renowned hospitality group, Ten Five (Baia Beach Club), marking the chef’s official introduction to the East Coast.
Located on the corner of 39th and 2nd, the restaurant has already garnered a local following and seems to fit seamlessly alongside neighboring designer retailers Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Prada. Here’s everything you need to know about the swanky new spot.
