The Amalfi Llama reimagines the culinary landscape by seamlessly merging the allure of a rustic live-fire steakhouse with the flavors of Italian cuisine, a culinary haven where genuine cooking, down-to-earth cuisine and stylish flair intertwine. Guests embark on a journey from Southern Patagonia to the Mediterranean coast of Italy as they indulge in a multisensory experience that transcends boundaries – from the soothing cream decor to the intimate ambiance of crackling embers accompanied by the melodies of vintage Italian vinyls. Embracing the essence of a modern farmhouse, The Amalfi Llama revolves around an open parrilla grill and wood-burning oven, harnessing fire, smoke, coals and embers to craft dishes. The restaurant’s ethos also meets design with Latin American and Mediterranean influences, resulting in an inviting environment adorned with light woods, natural light and subtly elegant finishes, defying traditional steakhouse and Italian restaurant conventions.

    This place was amazing! We had the filets and they delivered with a nice crunchy outside and a warm pink center for the medium rare. The service was top notch.

    We always have an incredible time when we dine at seasons 52. They make celebrations like birthdays, extra special with complementary champagne… And the food is always tasty, hot and consistent! Normally we opt for their delicious trout… But this time we all went for the lamb loin dinner. Absolutely spectacular! A super generous portion… I also have dinner for the next day! I highly recommend Seasons 52 - UTC!

    Great ambiance with a set of great food. This was our third time back and we're already planning our fourth. The flavors are great and the decor/camping atmosphere just makes you feel so cozy even if you're out having a date night. Highly recommend to anyone. Just note that the menu rotates seasonally, so sometimes your favorite menu item might go away for a while.
