"This LA transplant is just as flashy as the original. Design details like busy booth cushions and the multicolored tile floors fight for your attention, and there’s probably a celebrity seated a few tables over eating the restaurant’s famous squash blossoms. With all that flare, it’d be easy for the food to be an afterthought, but it’s not. The short rib meatballs are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and taste even better dipped in their airy pomodoro sauce. Mother Wolf is best experienced at the bar with a cherry liquor-spiked Negroni and an order of the cacio e pepe or rigatoni all’amatriciana." - emmy kasten
