Price: Moderate
• Steakhouse • University City/Golden Triangle
Booked 72 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.

    Waitress Erin and Chef Jesse are a dynamic duo who made our dinner experience at Benihana the best we’ve ever had! Erin was so attentive to us all, even on one of the busiest days of the year, Valentine's Day. Chef Jesse was a great entertainer, and his food was delicious! This was the first time my kiddo had no leftovers. We had the best time ever, and the food was terrific! Thank you, Erin and Jesse; you guys are the best!

    Our server, Brian, was great! attentive without being overbearing. There wasn't a bite I didn't love. The extra dirty martini was the perfect amount of dirty. Ribeye well seasoned, good char, and medium rare with a nice truffle mash. My favorite was definitely the roasted burrata. Even the bread paired with it was sensational. Don't miss out on the happy hour. Prices are phenomenal and some apps half off. And since the food gives you an extra pep in your step, you can power shop knowing you can try on clothes with a little extra room for the long haul wear 😉

    Waiter was great and service as a whole very good. They let my wife and I split a Greek salad which was fantastic. The margarita pizza was very good, but we split that as well, plenty of food. Very happy and a nice place to drop in!
