• Steakhouse • University City/Golden Triangle
Booked 51 times today
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.

Nighthawk takes its name from the Edward Hopper painting, not as nostalgia but as a reflection of atmosphere, people gathered, light stretching into evening, and the feeling of stepping just outside the ordinary. Set entirely outdoors in Coronado, it embraces the Pacific breeze, shifting light, and horizon in a way that echoes the rhythm of the Greek islands, where life unfolds in open air and time moves more slowly. The space centers on connection and presence, drawing from the Greek idea of philia—relationships built through shared moments and unhurried conversation, rooted in a tradition where gathering, simplicity, and time spent together matter most. Nighthawk lives in that overlap between places, suggesting that the warmth, ease, and sense of belonging we associate with distant coasts may already be closer than we think.

    Love the food, the service, the (low) noise level & parking convenience. I’ve returned here multiple times. I brought my girlfriends here last night. They’re some pretty tough cookies. They enjoyed the evening.

    We came in on a very busy weekend night and were surprised how well everything was handled. Even without a bar seat available, the hostess quickly found us a table and got us settled in right away. The service stayed consistent the entire night despite how packed the restaurant was, and everyone we interacted with was friendly and professional. We ordered a few dishes including pizza and eggplant parmigiana and everything came out really well prepared. Great energy in the place and a solid experience overall.

    We were a party of four adults and one 4 year old. The waitress made sure the child's food order was put in with the appetizers and came out early. She also did a great job recommending dishes and wine pairings. We loved our dinners.
