The Amalfi Llama - Review - Aventura - Miami - The Infatuation

"Unfortunately, “Amalfi Llama” doesn’t refer to a cute, long-necked mammal lounging off the coast of Italy. Instead, it’s the name of an overpriced Italian-Argentine steakhouse in the Aventura Mall. The wood-fired meats are supposed to have a pleasantly smokey flavor, but the $66 lamb chops are overcooked and unexciting. They’ll tell you that you have to get the lychee martini, but it’s just OK. Really, the only thing that’s sort of worth ordering here is the “Milamessi”—a beef milanesa topped with brie. Unlike the other meats here, the side of crispy oregano and parmesan fries isn’t an additional charge. Allegedly, it’s an original recipe from Messi’s mother, so maybe if you eat enough of these, you too can become a soccer star." - Mariana Trabanino
