Job description

The Amalfi Llama brings together an idyllic live fire Latin American steakhouse with modern Italian cuisine, working as an anchor of an experiential and daring delicious dining scene. We transport our guests from Southern Patagonia to the Mediterranean while they dine – from the coastal cream decor, to the warmth and comfort of live embers crackling amongst the sound of vintage Italian vinyl, from that first sip of Campari, to that mouthwatering taste of flame kissed Argentinian steak, finishing with the final unforgettable last bite of tiramisu. This is the place our guests to unwind, dine, be looked after, socialize, and above all else - come together.

As a hospitality group, we always seek to make our guests feel good and alive and we bring energy, discovery and community to everything that we do.

Our values driven culture is full of passionate people serving those hungry to discover something new. Many of our guests are joining us for the items they crave or offerings they wish to explore. Our aim is to attract and hire talent that provides an enthusiastic experience for all our guests while being a great coworker for their teammates. With this new concept, our goal is to make people feel good and alive.
