The San Diego dining room beneath a sculpted timber ceiling and olive tree

Italian hands. Patagonian fire.

The space

Rooms made for the long evening

Our San Diego home at Westfield UTC gathers under a sculpted timber ceiling and an olive tree at its heart. Every table has a view of the open kitchen, where the parrilla and wood-burning oven never stop.

Our story

Prime beef and A5 Wagyu over Patagonian fire. Take your time. We will.

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.
