" What a charming place! I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at The Amalfi Llama and it exceeded every expectation. The decor is stunning and creates a lovely atmosphere just right for a special occasion. I chose the filet mignon which was grilled to perfection, tender and full of flavor. The team surprised me with a delightful dessert which topped off the evening wonderfully. Excellent service from our waiter, who was warm and engaged. I can't wait to come back here!

" Had a wonderful experience dining at The Amalfi Llama with my family. The outdoor seating was perfect for a lovely evening, and the service was top-notch. I had the center-cut filet, which was one of the best I've ever had. Each dish came with generous portions, and the staff made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. It was a special night that will surely be remembered, and I will definitely recommend it to others looking for a quality dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings about my visit to The Amalfi Llama. While the atmosphere is undeniably beautiful, I found the food slightly lacking in flavor and creativity. The empanadas could have been better - too greasy and no distinct flavor. The service was friendly but seemed a bit disorganized, which affected the overall experience. Maybe this was an off day, but I was expecting more given the hype surrounding this place. Will consider revisiting to see if there’s improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at The Amalfi Llama! The ambiance sets a magical mood for an evening out. We had the lobster arrabbiata pasta and calamari, both prepared to perfection. The lobster was incredibly fresh and the flavor was delectable! Moreover, our server was attentive and helped us navigate the menu with ease. A delightful place I would return to without hesitation. Foodies, this restaurant is a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried The Amalfi Llama with my family, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The service was attentive and made us feel welcomed right away. I ordered the steak, which was delightful, while everyone else enjoyed a variety of dishes such as the pizza and pasta. Each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was lovely, perfect for enjoying a nice family dinner. I'm eagerly anticipating our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my time at The Amalfi Llama quite well! The menu was diverse with Italian and Argentinian inspirations, and I was particularly impressed by their focus on quality ingredients. I ordered the truffle pasta and a side of asparagus, both of which were well-prepared, although the pasta could have used a touch more seasoning. The environment was lively but still intimate, making it a great spot for catching up with friends. Overall, a lovely evening out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to an amazing meal but found my visit to The Amalfi Llama lacking overall. While the ambiance is stylish, I felt the menu options were somewhat pedestrian. My pasta dish did not stand out, nor did the accompanying sauces. So while it’s a beautiful space, the culinary execution left me wanting more. The service was friendly and efficient but did not quite make up for the underwhelming food experience. " (*Curated Review*)
