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.

    What an all around great restaurant! Upon walking in we were met by a friendly and welcoming hostess. Our server was so nice and made excellent recommendations. We loved the mini French dip sandwiches and the dry rub ribs. Equally as good were the chicken parm (which is served with a yummy, huge mountain of spaghetti), the steak and ravioli and the Mediterranean bowl. The bowl was atop flavorful hummus, rice, spicy harissa rubbed chicken, tzatziki, fresh greens, and other tasty ingredients. It was delish! We were too full for dessert so they sent us home with complimentary brownies. Such a nice touch. Really, Joey is just what the neighborhood needed - a beautiful, welcoming restaurant with great food. The menu is varied offering a selection that makes it appealing to differing tastes. We’ll be back… next week!

    We haven’t been to Pinch in a year and a half. The menu has changed as they don’t offer the gourmet entrees they used to have. They are now catering more to the neighborhood. I understand but maybe as a special they can bring back a dish or two. Either way, they always serve great tasting food and good portions.

    I cannot overemphasize how excellent the wine dinner experience was for me and my family. We were 5 seated at our table. There were about 6 tables of similar size. The 5 course meal was outstanding. The wine pairings were memorable. It was especially exciting to have the winemaker present to explain the wines. I highly recommend others to take advantage of any similar arrangements. My family has dined at this restaurant multiple times, without benefit of the wine dinner. It has never disappointed us. We always prefer to dine on the enclosed terrace. The food is always excellent.
