The Amalfi Llama reimagines the culinary landscape by seamlessly merging the allure of a rustic live-fire steakhouse with the flavors of Italian cuisine, a culinary haven where genuine cooking, down-to-earth cuisine and stylish flair intertwine. Guests embark on a journey from Southern Patagonia to the Mediterranean coast of Italy as they indulge in a multisensory experience that transcends boundaries – from the soothing cream decor to the intimate ambiance of crackling embers accompanied by the melodies of vintage Italian vinyls. Embracing the essence of a modern farmhouse, The Amalfi Llama revolves around an open parrilla grill and wood-burning oven, harnessing fire, smoke, coals and embers to craft dishes. The restaurant’s ethos also meets design with Latin American and Mediterranean influences, resulting in an inviting environment adorned with light woods, natural light and subtly elegant finishes, defying traditional steakhouse and Italian restaurant conventions.

    From the moment we walked in, we were blown away. This restaurant from Chef Blais was absolutely beautiful—every detail in the décor created the perfect ambiance for a memorable evening. The food? Incredible. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. What truly elevated our experience, though, was the fantastic customer service. Our server, Abraham, was amazing—attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. He made sure everything was just right throughout the night. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food, stunning aesthetics, and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back!
