Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Jesse was fantastic and took good care of us. He was very friendly and gave excellent suggestions when we couldn't decide which entrees and desserts to choose. The manager Brendan stopped by our table a couple of times and insisted we try the crab cake appetizer which turned out to be 10/10. Save room for dessert! The warm butter cake and the turtle pie were some of the best desserts I've had. Thanks Jesse and Brendan!
Amazing place, had to write a review after the second visit, great food, great drinks. Everything on the menu is worth trying, we started with the calamari, I had the NY strip, with a side of grilled asparagus (sides are very big btw) and my date had truffle tagliatelle. Our waiter Kevin was very great, he gave us space when we were trying each others drink, and chatting but was attentive, he closed our night out with something special. If you love lamb I would totally recommend...
Tucked in Westfield UTC, The Amalfi Llama blends Patagonian fire-grilled goodness with Italian coastal flair. The vibe is chic yet cozy, with warm woods and a glowing parrilla grill. The Short Rib Empanada was flaky, smoky perfection, and the wood-fired ribeye had a killer char. The salad balanced it all beautifully. The great service made it unforgettable, with spot-on recs and warm vibes. Pricey but worth it ($50–$80/person). Book ahead; it’s a hotspot.
