• Steakhouse • University City/Golden Triangle

Booked 45 times today

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.

Everything on the menu is made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients that make for fresh and flavorful dishes.

We went for my birthday with my parents and in-laws! It was our first time but we heard good things. I’m so happy we tried it out! Phenomenal food and service! I am pregnant so I couldn’t drink, but the non alcoholic options are actually really good! Thank you!

The food was delicious a bit pricey but I knew this before we dined. The server was GREAT! I had Branzino and it was a very large portion . My husband for his birthday dinner had the lobster pasta. He said that it was very good. Overall a good experience but even though I had mentioned that it was my husband’s birthday there was no mention of it. This s was disappointing.

(0.5 marked off for the gnocchi)
