The space

Elevated yet approachable, from date nights to group dining

Set inside The Esplanade, our Aventura home opens onto a lush, open-air patio. Inside, a timber ceiling, living greenery and deep green velvet gather around the glow of the parrilla.

Our story

Where genuine cooking, down-to-earth cuisine and scorching embers intertwine

A cook stretching pizza dough on a floured board — **Above:** Dough for the wood-burning oven, worked by hand each afternoon in Aventura

The Amalfi Llama set out to merge the rustic live-fire cooking of Patagonia with the fresh, traditional flavors of Italy. Rooted in authentic techniques and high-quality ingredients, the menu is crafted over an open parrilla grill and a wood-burning oven, from premium steaks and fresh seafood to seasonal Italian-inspired plates.

A family-owned restaurant, our rooms are designed by Cesar de la Parra Coghlan in a modern farmhouse style: warm timber, living greenery and an open kitchen at the heart of every space.
