Amalfi Llama Offers a Unique Blend of Exquisite Cuisine in Aventura

The restaurant features an open parrilla grill and a wood-burning oven.

There’s nothing that I love more than discovering a restaurant that offers amazing and diverse food options and the type of environment where you can lose yourself. This type of place is one that you not only feel at home but also truly special thanks to impeccable service and a menu of items meant to be savored and enjoyed. This is why I was thrilled to discover The Amalfi Llama in Aventura. A new gem that’s meant to be discovered, it was an honor to be able to experience and to fully enjoy it.

The restaurant, which has its first location in San Diego, California, has arrived in South Florida and is ready to entice those curious about a different dining experience.

Also, I recommend you take the time to visit for an unforgettable dining experience. It’s perfect for any special occasion or for treating yourself to a nice meal on a tough day. Hey, we all need a little sunshine, and a nice meal can do wonders for the soul!

As you walk into the restaurant, you’ll be truly impressed with the décor, one that will surround you in luxury as you dine.

A gorgeous space decorated with Latin American and Mediterranean influences will greet you. You’ll love the light wood details and the natural light that won’t overwhelm you when you visit, adding to the cozy environment. It makes the steakhouse the type of restaurant that’s not afraid to please in all aspects of the experience.

Before we get to the food, we must add that the restaurant ownerJavier Banchero, is a force to be reckoned with. The right-hand man of Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi navigates the restaurant with care and greets guests and the staff in an energetic and pleasurable manner.

When we spoke to Banchero, we had the chance to try the restaurant’s Miami Spice menu. While the yearly dining event might be over, all the items on the menu are available at the restaurant daily, and he was proud to mention that the recipes in each dish come from original family recipes. And a few even come from Messi’s family recipes. Trust us when we say that you can spot the difference when it comes to the flavor, and you can sense that these dishes come from a homemade background.

Amalfi Llama Aventura

The journey at the restaurant is not only from one region but many. There are options, all freshly and carefully made, to please everyone who steps inside to dine.

The food options range from Southern Patagonia to the Mediterranean coast of Italy and, of course, Latin America. While there, we had a chance to try fresh empanadas, a deliciously cut steak, and hand-crafted cocktails. Everything we tried had a distinct flavor, and the knowledgeable server was happy to recommend beverages to enjoy before and after dinner, including wine from their extensive list.

The Amalfi Llama is a restaurant with an open parrilla grill and a wood-burning oven, harnessing fire, smoke, coals, and embers to make the dishes’ flavors stand out even more. With dishes from coastal areas such as Southern Patagonia to the Mediterranean coast of Italy, this is a restaurant that’s not only a place to dine, but it’s a place meant to be experienced and truly enjoyed.

So, take your time when you’re there. There’s no need to rush at The Amalfi Llama.

Editor-in-Chief

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
