"The arrival of Mother Wolf from Evan Funke was a definitive moment for the bustling corner of Wilcox and Selma in Hollywood, where luxury hotels and upscale restaurants dot the streets. This ode to Rome is breathtaking on the inside, with an elegant dining room that can seat 150. On most nights, the room is full and buzzing with energy as diners sip on glasses of wine hand-picked by the sommelier or ice-cold cocktails. Still, Funke’s food shines through with wood-fired pizzas, rigatoni all’Amatriciana, and bistecca alla Florentina. Make sure to book a reservation in advance on Resy, it's often difficult to score a table as a walk-in unless sitting at the bar. Parking can be tough in the neighborhood; keep an eye on signs that include gridlock zones, and there’s always the option of valet just in case, though it is a bit expensive." - Rebecca Roland, Matthew Kang
