Located in the new Esplanade section of Aventura Mall, Argentine-Italian restaurant The Amalfi Llama combines rustic Patagonian live-fire cooking with traditional flavors of Italy’s Amalfi Coast in a beautiful built-out space befitting of its celebrity partner, super star soccer player, Lionel Messi and his family who maintain a special table reserved specifically for his family’s frequent visits along with a signature milanesa, “Milamessi”, made from his mother’s own recipe. In our latest SlaashhMag video, we sat down in the restaurant’s elegant library room with owner, Javier Banchero, one of the visionaries behind its captivating aesthetic as he gives us a talking tour through the cozy walkthrough wine cellar that supports their expansive beverage program; the open kitchen centered around eye popping open fire parrilla grill and wood-burning oven that infuses its meats and breads with a smokey char; and its high-ceiling main dining room and bar that seamlessly opens into a garden for al fresco dining.
