Established over a decade ago, Aurora restaurant is a landmark of the Italian cuisine in the vibrant neighborhood of Williamsburg.
Aurora creates a perfect balance of tradition and innovation, with a great respect for seasonality, by combining top quality Italian imports, sustainably grown local produce and house-made specialties. 
The wine program offers a list of over 150 labels, along with craft beers, signature cocktails, and a full liquor bar.
The rustic and charming dining room with exposed brick walls and high ceilings, opens to an intimate, leafy garden, enclosed during the colder months, and perfect for a relaxing dinner "al fresco" during the warm season.
Aurora is a great spot for a romantic date, a casual getting together with friends, or private events.

    This is hands down our favorite restaurant. The food is yummy and the ambience is lovely. But the best part is the staff. Everyone is welcoming and lovely!

    This place never disappoints! We hadn't been in a few years and it was still delicious as ever. Everything is incredibly fresh- we had a few oysters, my partner had the scallops- just perfectly seared, and I had the oxtail ragu- their handcut fresh pasta will haunt my dreams...

    Excellent experience! It was our first visit, and we will be returning. Had a reservation for Saturday at 6:45 pm, and we arrived about 20 minutes early. We were greeted upon arrival with a smile and were lead to our table. Service was attentive to details and made excellent recommendations. The food was AMAZING! Prosciutto Burratta appetizer was the perfect starter, and my wife's martini was made perfectly. For entrees, my wife had the special "secret pork" and I had the duck breast. These were cooked perfectly and tasted was amazing. Highly recommend enjoying an experience here and we can't wait to go back in warmer weather to experience the secret garden al fresco! Thank you to everyone from the front of house to the back for making our visit most enjoyable! Ciao

    Wow! not expecting such high quality food. Absolutely delicious, fresh, creative menu. We were a party of 4 and raved about the specialty drinks and our meals. Our reservation was delayed by 20 minutes and they provided a Tiramisu on the house which was very thoughtful. Totally recommend this place for a wonderful experience.

    I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! We had the arancini to start, and a weekly special (osso bucco) for our main meals. OMG - absolutely divine!! Our servers were incredibly attentive and kind - one of them even saw us the bone marrow from the osso bucco and brought us little spoons. Super sweet and thoughtful… and we cannot wait to be back :)
