The Amalfi Llama - Miami

Had dinner with my mother in law after a day of shopping and it was DELICIOUS! The truffle pasta and NYS were unbelievable. Also, hands down the best pistachio gelato I’ve ever had. Mateo was our server and gave us excellent service. He made great suggestions and was very attentive. We will be coming back very soon!

During my visit to the mall I decided to take myself on a solo date to The Amalfi Llama. Best decision ever, 1st off Jose my server was exceptional, kind & personable, he knew right away what I would like & he offered me a wonderful special cocktail they had and it did not disappoint! The tamarind with repasado was smooth, sweet, salty & smoky. The burger was amazing! Cooked well and seasoned to perfection. I had such a wonderful experience thank you Jose for making my first time here enjoyable! I'll definitely be back.

Definitely my favorite restaurant at Esplanade and contending for #1 in Aventura Mall area. The food is delectable, and the service is top of the line. Jose is one of those amazing servers, and human beings! You have so much fun with him and makes the meal more enjoyable. Edit: Since my last review I have been to Amalfi Llama a couple of times. And I want to point out how great the service is every time. Last night Stella did an amazing job, and showed us amazing service, she was so sweet and caring. I think that it says a lot about the amazing commitment that the wait staff, kitchen, bar and management have for their restaurant. Big thanks to everyone, including Javi. The food was exquisite. The pizza was so thin and crispy, and perfectly enhanced the flavours of the toppings, the pasta was al dente and the lamb chops were deliciously tender. Not to mention the amazing chimichurri! Also all the drinks I tried were well balanced and deserving to be tried by cocktail enthusiasts. It is rare that I give 5 starts for all areas, but consistency is really what pushed me to upgrade my score. Great job everyone!

Perfect place! +Great owner! Treated us as VIP guests) our business community to had a networking meeting in the Restaurant. I liked the food 100%, definitely come back here for a dinner with my wife. Very good service! Recommended

I celebrated my birthday here and had an amazing time! The atmosphere was fantastic, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. A special thanks to José for his outstanding attention and hospitality—it truly made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Stella was great !!!! Super attentive. Recommended delicious dishes. We are super friendly gals and she identified that and was very talkative with us. Definitely a place I would return to ! I’m trying to make this review as extensive as possible cause she knows how by ! (Inside joke) Anyways. Great restaurant. Great food. Great service. Keep it up !

We dined this evening with our family (3 adults, 2 children) at Amalfi Llama for the first time. The restaurant itself is beautiful, cool ambiance with music that’s truly background and lets you enjoy conversation. From the moment we sat down, our waiter Giuseppe, was warm and welcoming, guiding us through the menu with great recommendations. We ordered a variety including salad, pizza, pasta, steak and drinks, all of which were absolutely delicious. What stood out the most was Giuseppe's attentiveness; he was always there when we needed him but never hovered, allowing us to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. His service was impeccable, striking the perfect balance between friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a great dining experience with exceptional service, I highly recommend this restaurant. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a meal. The menu features a wide variety of dishes, each crafted with the finest ingredients and a creative touch. Every bite is a true delight. The highlight of my visit was the impeccable service provided by Antonio, our server. He went above and beyond to ensure our experience was flawless. Antonio was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also attentive, offering excellent recommendations and making us feel truly valued. His friendly demeanor and dedication to ensuring every detail was perfect made the evening unforgettable. If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience with outstanding service, don't miss out on this place, and definitely ask for Antonio to make your visit even more special!

Amazing food, great service and nice ambiance. We loved the attentive service and perfectly cooked steak

Amazing service!! Great food!! Stellz was very kind and super nice to my baby. I totally would recommend this place!

Elcin was very good.we're very happy with the service. We liked the ambience, the music and the food.

The best service, ambiance and service. Stella, thank you for the service and great chat. Try the cacio e pepe

The Amalfi Llama was the most I have ever had to wait for a reservation. We booked for 8 PM and weren't seated until 10 PM--an absolutely ridiculous wait. To make matters worse, after finally sitting down, our entrées took nearly an hour to arrive after the appetizers. By the time my food finally got to the table, no one even bothered to ask if I wanted a drink. I'll give credit where it's due--the music and food were good--but that doesn't make up for the awful service. This was, without a doubt, the worst service I've ever received in my life. If you're thinking about coming here, be prepared to wait forever and be completely ignored by the staff. Not worth it. I also contacted the restaurant via the app I prepaid my food on and no answers within the two hours

I was looking for a new restaurant to try out for my brother's birthday and this one did not disappoint. The staff was so friendly and welcoming on arrival. The restaurant is also very spacious with so many options for seating as well as two bars. Our server Julian was so helpful with any questions we had about our drinks or describing certain dishes. We ordered lychee martinis which were very delicious and not overly sweet but a true martini. For appetizer we ordered the calamari and it came with two dips (spicy aioli and tartar) there were also some jicama in and peppers added that gave it a nice touch. For our main dishes my brother ordered the prime ribeye (12 oz) Oscar style (crab and bearnaise). My mom had the Scottish Salmon that comes with asparagus, arugula and roasted tomatoes. I ordered the lamb chops (18 oz) medium and it was perfectly charred on the outside and medium on the inside. For our sides we ordered the asparagus and potato purée. Everyone loved their dish and it was cooked exactly as we requested. We also ordered a prosciutto and arugula pizza to share and it was the best pizza I've had for a long time. The crust was thin and light it's not tomato based but very tasty. Definitely try the pizza if you can. Now for dessert we had tiramisu and vanilla gelato with mixed berry compote. It was all delicious and not too sweet. I was so happy dinner was amazing and everyone enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the area to try it. It has something for everyone.

Thank you my fellow helpers for recommending the Baked Carbonara, it was so cheesy and delicious! I must WARN you, it's a big dish, it's great to share! My hubby and the girls absolutely loved their pizza and the burrata was fresh and delicious The restaurant is beautiful and the ambiance is super cool and chill. Luckily the food was delicious, but the service was super slow, almost non existent. To the point where we wanted to order dessert/coffee but chose to go else where. Are drinks were empty for a while as well.

Wow! I can't tell you the last time we had this great of a meal with service to match. Jose took such great care of us and answered all our questions, steering us in the right direction as first timers. First, the service was quick and attentive. We walked in at 6:15 and had all our dessert by 7 pm. We got the miami spice menu and tried the tuna tartare and the beef empanadas, both tasty. The chimichurri was amazing. We also split a Caesar salad and margarita pizza. Make sure you try the pizza!! The milamessi was fine, nothing to write home about but the branzino was amazing! And great portion sizes. If you're getting a Negroni get the amalfi one, this was Jose's recommendation and so perfect!

Made a reservation for 7:30 on Valentine's Day. Got seated at 8:50. Was ignored a couple of times by the hosts. Got appetizer by 9:50, an hour after sitting. Prepaid for a 4 course meal, $203. Never received our 2nd course, a simple salad. Manager offered us Prosecco for the issues, never got it. Offered us free drinks after, still tried to charge us after the fact. Spent 5 HOURS at the restaurant... missed our comedy show that was supposed to be after dinner at 10:30. Should not have been $200+. Ruined Valentine's Day :)

Place is beautiful. Interior nice and cozy. They still have to work on their food flavours. Burger was extremely salty. Shrimp pasta didn't had any taste. Chopped salad was overpriced. Our waitress said in the beginning that burger only for lunch menu and trying to convince us for expensive meals. After we decided to get one pizza for sharing- she said she can ask this time to make burger)) as a favour. However it was in dinner menu already. After we complained to manager about salty burger- he offered a dessert. It was gluten free chocolate cake with scoop of vanilla ice cream which was delicious!

Been to Amalfi several times and it's always a great experience. Solid food, drinks, and service. Atmosphere is nice as well. Elcin served us the last time we were there and she was on point.

More like 4.5 stars. Great experience with stellar service by Melissa! We had the NY strip, a pizza, tuna tartare, focaccia bread with fresh rosemary olive oil and the Yukon potato puree. Highly recommend not skipping on dessert which was also delicious. We chose the cheesecake and the chocolate sin cake. And always ask for Melissa who is very knowledgeable and a great server!

Stepping into this Argentinian steakhouse with an Italian twist is like being transported to a world where culinary borders blend seamlessly. From the first moment, the warm ambiance--earthy tones and rustic accents--sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The lamb chop are nothing short of perfection, boasting cuts that are charred to perfection with that signature Argentine smoky flavor, thanks to their wood-fired grill. The chimichurri sauce was vibrant and fresh, a perfect complement to the tender and juicy. What makes this spot stand out, however, is its Italian influence. Their handmade pastas are nothing short of heavenly. The creamy, truffle-infused pasta paired with thin slices with grilled lamb chop was an innovative masterpiece. Service was wonderful by our waitress Stella. Definitely recommend her,- she is knowledgeable, kind and friendly. This restaurant doesn't just serve food; it delivers an experience that beautifully marries the best of Argentina's hearty, robust cuisine with the sophistication and elegance of Italy's pasta traditions. A must-visit for steak lovers and pasta enthusiasts alike!

Nice atmosphere on second floor of upscale mall, good food, friendly service, would recommend

I love Miami Spice because you can try out restaurants that may or may not have been on your radar. I noticed Amali Llama while on my way to dine at another restaurant nearby. Anyway, stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The place is spacious and decorated with a lot of thought. We opted for the short rib empanadas, chicken parmesan sandwich, and chocolate cake for dessert. The empanadas were good, but were dry! They left much to be desired. Even with the chimichurri, the meat was super dry. The sandwich and dessert were just okay, nothing to write home about. I probably will try this place again, outside of Miami Spice, just to give it a fair try.

Before I begin, the service we got from Jose was absolutely 10/10. He handled our requirements with immediacy and the managers, metre's and hostess as well. That being said. Let's begin. The concept of the restaurant says "new american - italian". First of all, in case the owner has some sort of national identity crisis, this is an Argentine resto. More posh sure, but Argentine nonetheless. And if you're argentine just like I am, you'd understand the standards we hold when we go and eat out, and the quality that we look for. We were a party of four. We got the focaccia (8/10), the short rib empanadas (1/10) and then we got a Milamessi (7/10) a Pizza Margherita (6/10) and a beet salad (6/10). We got the empanadas replaced by a cheesecake (8/10) and a chocolate cake (9/10). I come from the same country that Messi is, and that the owner is. I am sure that we can agree and disagree on many things, but the quality of the empanadas for an Argentine place, is just unacceptable. Argentine empanadas are soft, juicy, and flavorful. The short rib empanadas we got were awful: tasteless, dry, and un-argentine. It's basically Columbian ropavieja in an empanada casing. I wouldn't eat this for free, and definitely wouldn't pay 18 dollars for one order. We ordered four, we returned two. We never complained about the food in a restaurant, but we were extremely disappointed with the quality of the empanadas. The truffle mushroom pizza was ok - we weren't expecting it to be a forte per se but this is an argentine restaurant and it's ok but definitely not worth 29 dollars. The beet salad was ok as well. Nothing crazy creative or blown out of the water, but not 21 dollars. The focaccia was very good, but in this restaurant they won't give you a bread basket. I understand that the style of the resto is not oriented towards it, but, again we're in an Argentine resto. That focaccia was very good, but no focaccia is worth 13 dollars. The resto's main buzz element was that Leo Messi went there a couple times, and he has his "Messis' Family Table" properly displayed on a secluded booth. So, I had to try the Milamessi. The chips / french fries were dry and rough to the taste. The quality of the napolitan milanesa (the real name of this dish), was ok but nothing crazy. The milanesa could feed up for two people but not the same about the fries' quantity. Definitely not worth the 48 dollars we paid for. Then, we replaced two out of four empanada orders. Yes, we sent two empanada orders back - this is the first time I do something like this at an Argentine resto. We don't send food back: we clean the plate and never complain. Yes, that's how bad the empanadas were. They replaced our empanadas with a fire roasted cheesecake and a chocolate sin cake. The fire roasted cheesecake was soft to the taste, and the berry compote was the perfect combination. I can't really decide whether this was a regular New York style cheesecake or a Basque one, but then again it was very good, 8/10. The chocolate sin cake came with a vanilla bean ice-cream (the ice-cream was American, not Argentine and there's a strong difference in taste). The chocolate and ice cream combo was really good. 9/10. In total, we spend ~195. That's short of 50 bucks per head. In all honesty, the best asset this place has is the service. In my perspective, if they'd stick to Argentine cuisine instead of pretentious dishes they'd score higher.

All I can say is wow! 5 stars. From the service to the food to the decor. We were instantly greeted at the door when we walked in. They had a new art display of Mesi's shoe made out of recycle items and fishline. Pretty dope display. They sat us in the back in the patio where it was nice and cool. Unfortunately, my Fiancé kept getting bit up by mosquitoes (good ole Miami) and we had to move inside. They had no issues with it all and politely moved us to a table that was close to the patio so we still had the ambiance of outdoor but inside. We ordered an espresso martini with tequila (strong and delicious) my fiancé ordered the purple haze which he thought was sweet but strong. We ordered the short rib empanada. The meat was a little too dry for me. I wish they would've left the sauce from the short rib. But it was good overall. The chimichurri has a little fishy taste as they use some kind of seafood oil or something in it. The pasitanos pizza....WOWOWOOW TO DIE FOR! Just order it lol We also ordered the truffle pasta and that was also good. Definitely truffle flavored so if you're not a fan of truffle I do not recommend. I can't wait to go back and maybe try their happy hour!

The Amalfi Llama is located in the new Esplanade retail center at Aventura Mall and is a great restaurant addition to the Aventura area! We were so excited to see the Amalfi Llama in the works and in the construction phase- they're part of The Eureka Restaurant Group (https://eurekarestaurantgroup.com), most of the restaurants are on the U.S. West Coast, and this is the first Eureka restaurant location on the East coast and we're so excited to have it in our backdoor! We made a reservation for a Sunday night for dinner at 7:30 PM the day before and had no issues getting the reservation on OpenTable. You can park in the Esplanade parking garage and take the steps or elevator up one floor and you're right at the entrance to the restaurant (it's super convenient!) We entered the restaurant and received a very warm greeting from the hostess and were seated promptly at our reservation time. The employee warmly welcomed us as it was our first time dining there and explained the features of the restaurant, starting at the bar, walking through the wine cellar, and then into the main dining room. The main dining room was truly beautiful, featuring another large bar, and a large amount of seating. I loved the olive trees in the restaurant- it was truly BEAUTIFUL! The server (Melissa) came by a few minutes later and greeted us and offered to answer any questions we had initially on the restaurant or on the wine/cocktail list. Melissa was so nice and professional, and it overall was an amazing first interaction with the employees. We ordered a bottle of Chianti wine ($52) and it was a really nice California wine. For food, I would ask your server on portion sizes for your party size. For the two of us, we ordered the Caesar Salad to start ($19) and was a perfect size for the two of us to share. For entrees we ordered the Baked Tagliolini ($20) and I've never had anything like that dish- it was truly amazing and delicious! For the third course, we ordered the Positano pizza ($24) and it was really good too! Pizza was from a wood fired oven with thin crust and all ingredients on all food was fresh and extremely flavorful! We were pretty full from the food we selected, but also decided to add on the burnt cheesecake (I believe it was $12 or $14) and it was really tasty as well (very fluffy) and featured a warm berry compote on top. It was truly delightful! Melissa made her service very personalized to us as her guests and was truly a delight. The manager also came over to check on us a few times as well and she was very nice as well. It's truly an amazing restaurant and I'm proud to have it right in our hometown of Aventura. It's a must try if you're in the Aventura area!

My partner and I needed a place to go last minute on a Saturday night - so of course everything was booked out and we randomly stumbled on this gem! Staff was super friendly and accommodating. They have a main dining room area and a "lounge" which is just additional tables in a separate part of the restaurant, however more quiet and intimate that the main dining area - perfect for a date night. The food was overall excellent - oysters were super fresh, NY strip was slightly over but still really tasty, the asparagus was cooked perfectly! They still had a nice snap, and we had the burnt cheesecake for dessert which was so airy and light! I had the purple orchid for my drink cause I tend to like drinks with lavender but it came out somewhat of a smoothie texture - so I'd probably say opt for another drink, they have an extensive wine menu. Overall, enjoyed and will be back!

One of the new restaurants in the Esplanade accessible from the outside of Aventura mall, the Amalfi Llama has been visited by Messi, so I had to check it out too. I enjoyed from the Miami Spice menu: Short rib empanadas - very good! Milamessi - panko crusted beef filet pomodoro sauce, melted Brie, fries - essentially a beef parm instead of a chicken parm - good, but the beef was a bit dry Fire roasted cheesecake with berry compote - delish! Service was friendly. We were seated in the quiet section at the front instead of the more lively section in back, wish the restaurant wasn't split up in two like that, feel we missed out on the ambiance. Otherwise a good restaurant and I would recommend.

This restaurant is located in the esplanade area of the Aventura Mall. The decor and staff were top notch. They were extremely friendly and nice. Our waiter was eager to assist us. For food, the oregano fries, Margherita pizza and a steak was ordered. The fries were good, a different take on the usual Parmesan truffle that so many restaurants have on the menu. The pizza was delicious , light and filling. I ordered the Coco Llama to drink. It was amazing. I could've ordered 5 of those. Everything was really good. I would definitely come back and try different items on the menu. Nothing about this place disappointed me. Highly recommend stopping by if the area.

WORST VALENTINE'S DAY EXPERIENCE EVER! My husband and I had been looking forward to our Valentine's Day dinner at The Amalfi Llama for prior to the valentine's Day holiday. We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary. We had an 8:45 PM reservation, expecting a special night. Instead, we got a complete disaster. When we arrived, they casually told us we'd have to wait another hour to be seated. No apology, no explanation--just a dismissive "wait over there." Fine. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and returned after an hour. At that point, they told us it would be ANOTHER hour and 45 minutes! Are you kidding me?! So what was the point of making a reservation? They had clearly overbooked and didn't care about wasting people's time. The staff was indifferent, the management was nowhere to be found. Before you decide to spend your money here, think about celebrating your special day--at literally ANY other restaurant.

We had a great dinner at Amalfi Llama Aventura with Julian as our Server, Julian was amazing, gave great suggestions for what to order and was very helpful and friendly, he made our dinner enjoyable. The food was absolutely amazing very fresh and delicious flavors. The Ambiance is so pleasant and beautiful, it is a brand-new restaurant, very elegantly decorated and very spacious. This is our new favorite restaurant. We will definitely be back.

Ordered the spice menu...the tuna tartare with avocado was a perfect appetizer to begin with m. We followed up with the filet mignon medium rare with a side of bernaise. The steak was made perfectly and the touch of large salt flakes on top made it that much better. We finished with the cheesecake with was also really good. Our server Vale was a rockstar.

Elcin did so great with our table of 8 ! We were here for an event here in Hollywood FL , We ordered many different plates and sides and Elcin did such a great job. One of the tables had a wiggly leg , she noticed and right away had her team replace the table for us! Such an amazing energy! Thank you Elcin !

En este restaurante tienen una mesa específicamente dedicada al rey del fútbol Lionel Messi. Su visita de este restaurante ha hecho que el servicio sea impecable, al igual que la comida

Had a great time here!! Stella, our waiter, was super helpful and attentive to us. Food was 10/10, definitely going back!

Wow. Just WOW!!! This place is amazing the food is great the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was fantastic. Jose our server made the night. He treated us with great hospitality and was so kind and knowledgeable about the restaurant. The food was so delicious from the steaks to seafood to pasta and sides. Come here and you will not be disappointed!!!

José is amazing, came here for dinner with my family and he has elevated our experience and our expectations. This was our first time at Amalfi Llama and we will definitely be returning. Not only was the food delicious but José made our experience so special, he helped us to decide what we want and gave us amazing recommendations as well as some laughs and overall provided amazing service and made our experience better. Will definitely be coming back and definitely recommend this place. My NY strip steak and lychee martini was delicious.

10 out of 10 -- I definitely recommend! Big shout out to Brittany for inviting my sister and I to this beautiful spot in Aventura!! The food and ambience is AMAZING!! I ordered The Positano -- it's my go to for a quick bite. However, I've tried nearly everything on the menu months back when we celebrated my mom's birthday. We had the Prime New York Strip, Branzino, Calamari, Caesar Salad, Mac and Cheese, Potato Purée, and a few drinks for the table. This was a memorable experience and this restaurant is my first request for those that want to go have an experience in Aventura

Antonio, the most experienced server here, is the BEST! The lobster, Mac n' Cheese is decadent & delicious.

First time at Amalfi, my husband has been before and hasn't stopped talking about it since that first visit. Beautiful inside and out this place is a heavy contender when visiting aventura mall. Good for groups or an intimate dinner with a loved one. Open table offers reservations and I made one conveniently before walking in for a party of 4. We opted to hit the bar while we waited for our other two to join us. The bartender was friendly and immediately tended to us, made a mean old fashion then sent us on our way when our table was ready. For drinks we started off with two old fashions. Second round we tried the Woodford Place and the purple orchid. The Woodford Place was a lot more aggressive in flavor than I had anticipated, definitely an acquired tasted, reminiscent of strong cough medicine. Not for me but others may enjoy. The purple orchid was on the sweeter side but much easier to drink and something I would get again. Now for the food, the appetizer options are so hard to choose from. We landed on the hamachi crudo, Puccia bread, beef carpaccio, the short rib empanadas and the Positano pizza. I'm still thinking about the Beef Carpaccio, this place is doing it right. Thinly sliced and such a refreshing bite that will be something I get every visit. The empanadas were good but not something I would get on repeat. The positano pizza was so good we almost ordered a second, the hot honey really makes it. The hamachi was fresh and had a nice bite from the Serrano pepper on top, would recommend if you are into raw fish. The puccia bread was recommended by the waitress, comes paired with a whipped eggplant dip. It was good but not enough flavor for me to get again. Second round of food we didn't have much room left and ordered the margarita pizza and the baked Tagliolini. I read on yelp prior to ordering that the Baked Tagliolini was the way to go and my Yelpers did not disappoint. This pasta was creamy and flavorful but also so light. Pasta felt hand made and even being as full as we were it was the cherry on top of an already phenomenal meal. Now for dessert, we knew we couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu and both couples opted for an affogato. The have a choice of chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, or pistachio gelato. We had hazelnut and the others had chocolate, I almost wish I had done pistachio because both were SOOO good. The cheesecake was ok for me, more cheese than cake and I wish it was a little sweeter. Over all this place has the friendliest staff I've encountered in quite some time. Everyone I walked by smiled or asked me if I needed anything, very kind and attentive. Whether you sit inside or outside your in for a treat, highly recommend.

The restaurant had good ambiance and service, and it accommodated our group of 20 well. However, while I enjoyed the experience, I feel there are better options available for the price point.

We were here a couple of months ago for Miami Spice. Honestly, we've been here before for happy hour but there are so many Italian restaurants in Miami I thought it was another one. So when I saw it in Miami Spice I thought this was a good moment to try it! We got there around 3.15 for the Miami Spice Lunch Menu, which looked better than the dinner one. We sat, everybody was very nice here, and the hostess gave us the menus. To my surprise, there was no menu from Miami Spice so I asked for it, the hostess brought me the special menu but I was confused because she brought me the dinner one and it wasn't dinner time. I asked about it and told me lunch was until 3 pm. So I was already a little annoyed because their dinner menu wasn't as good as the lunch one. My boyfriend was super disappointed but since we were already there, we decided to just get a couple of dishes to share. We started with some drinks and I got one of their mocktails, I don't remember the name of it but it was good! There's beauty in a mocktail well done. My boyfriend got one cocktail, rum-based with coconut and it was super good too. As an appetizer, we got their Focaccia which it's not your typical Focaccia with a thick dough. This one was like hallow bread that was inflated due to the heat but it was so, so good, we wouldn't mind ordering a second one. It was delicious and addicting! For entrees, we ordered the Spaghetti which has a simple red sauce but the pasta was so well cooked and the sauce was so delicious, it just reminded you of how simple is life. We had to try one of their pizzas because the focaccia was so good, we were wondering about the pizzas so we got the Positano pizza, and wow!!! I've tried so many pizzas but this one was ON POINT! Soppressata and Finnochiona meeting in this spicy pizza with hot honey on top, what a delight! Delicious! Honestly, our meal was way better than we expected and we can't wait to come back and try other dishes from the menu! The restaurant is beautiful and I love the fact that even though it might be busy, you can still hear what the other person at your table is saying.

Everything from the food to the service to the vibe , wonderful , Thursday late lunch for 9 people after a family gradation. It was all we could ask for and more . Pretty drinks Wonderful food Spot on service Thank you

Great food and ambiance. Elcin was such an amazing waitress, she recommend the best plates. Try the truffle pasta!

Our meal was amazing! We got the calamari, short rib empanadas, ribeye, salmon, broccolini, fries, cheesecake and chocolate cake and everything was delish!! Melissa & Ayonna took amazing care of us, they suggested great dishes and our drinks were so yummy! They were so nice and accommodating, We will be back!

I have made it over toThe Amalfi Llama on 3 different occasions and they have not disappointed me. Shout out to Brittany she was PHENOMENAL!! She was patient and well educated on the menu and gave great options. Their drinks were crafted so beautifully and tasted great 10/10. The pictures attached are the items I've ordered and also the group ordered and it was amazing!! The desert was also great 10/10 The food and the atmosphere/ambiance 10/10. As you can see we cleared the plates lol.

Antonio was a fantastic server, recommending a perfect bottle of wine, and the food was wonderful. Good outdoor atmosphere and the lobster mac and cheese was delicious.

Jose was a lovely waiter! Absolutely exceptional and deserves a rib eye will be coming back again soon

I was there last Monday with my partner and I have an amazing experience. Our server Stella was right on all the suggestions and wine pairing. She was on top all the time.

Thank you. Our server Stella was the best. The restaurant is great. Tat tar With tuna was so delicious

Everything from the pizzas to the mains was absolutely delicious. Really lovely atmosphere with great outdoor space. Special thank you to Elcin who provided exceptional service. We will definitely be back!

This restaurant is in the new part of Aventura Mall - Esplanade. We were a little early so we sat at the bar and had a drink. Bartender was nice and drinks were good - $49 for 2 cocktails with tip so definitely pricey. When we sat down for dinner, we were given menus although we booked for Miami Spice and had to specifically ask for those menus. The server reluctantly gave them to us. We felt rushed to order and kept trying to be upsold more items. At one point the server was taking our order and just disappeared. It was extremely unprofessional. When he realized he forgot our sides, he made an excuse that the food runner had an accident and dropped the food all over the floor. Very odd. Did not sound convincing at all. It was a shame because the food was pretty good. Although $28 for a side of lobster mac and cheese is pretty outrageous for a place like this. Also, be careful because 20% tip is already added but this guy didn't mention it to us. Definitely wont be rushing back here. There are so many better restaurants in the area

This was our first time coming here. incredibly good food. the steaks are cooked to perfection. best customer service in Miami. we'll definitely be back. astella was amazing!!!! best waiter ever

Bartender Jahari was a vibe super friendly and talkative and gave me my espresso martini just how I like them

NONESENCE Serving is not smiling and then cheating on the customer? if the place offers a drink for free, servers can't sell it to you. If you were already charged 20% for the service, and you ask why the tip is only 7% maximum, the server MUST BOTHER and inform you that you already paid 20%. Not after you add 7% on the top. So you end up with a 27% tip and being sold a glass of champagne which the place offered for free... And when you ask to adjust, hear: I can't..... or if you want... It should be: we are sorry for your experience, and I will take care of this issue which we caused you...

Jose is the absolute best server here! Great suggestions for drinks and food. Made us feel welcome and engaged in conversation to make the experience more enjoyable. The dinning room is stunning and they think of every detail. They even have purse holders. 10/10 recommend!

Food was great and so was Melissa the waitress. Nice ambiance and soft lighting. Sat outside
