Prep Cook

Chef Evan Funke is a steward of Italian cooking traditions and culture. At Mother Wolf, he pays tribute to Rome’s mythological origin story of Remus, Romulus and the Lupa Capitolina. With Rome as the singular inspiration for Mother Wolf, Funke’s rich and soulful cooking is a mosaic of the ancient, pastoral and urban culinary heritage of la cucina Romana. The menu echos themes of shepherds, popes, farmers and artisans with wafer-thin wood fired pizzas, hyper-seasonal antipasti and the exceptional pastas for which Funke is renowned. Many of the Roman classics are featured - Carbonara, all’Amatriciana, alla Gricia, al Burro, Arrabiata and more.
