Wonderful!! Fantastic service and menu! Any seat in the house has a fantastic view with an inviting atmosphere from two tops to larger groups. The seafood fettuccini was amazing and the Amaretto Cheesecake was unforgettable. Would definitely go back next time I’m in town!

​4/5 Stars ​Overall, a solid dining experience at The Amalfi Llama with great food and top-notch service! ​Service: Our server Rodrigo was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well looked after throughout the meal. ​Food: The steak was cooked to perfection and the risotto was wonderfully flavorful and creamy. ​Atmosphere & Pricing: The ambiance is lovely, though the prices are definitely on the steeper side (for instance, $12 for a bottle of sparkling water felt a bit excessive). ​Parking: Parking is super convenient and easy, though do keep in mind it’s paid parking. ​Worth a visit for a nice night out!

    Wow! The Seneca team truly exceeded our expectations. We went to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and they made it a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food, atmosphere, and service were amazing, and the entire team went above and beyond to make her birthday special. We couldn’t have asked for a better evening!
