We dined here dinner for the first time and had an excellent experience. Paulina was an attentive server and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend the tableside fresh pasta tossed inside an aged Parmigiano Reggiano wheel. It was outstanding! Highly recommend Aurora.

My friend Patricia suggested dinner at Aurora to celebrate our 10-year friendversary because of the Pasta alla Ruota. It was extremely popular as the guests at the surrounding tables all ordered the same thing. Likewise with the tableside Tiramisu which was also ordered by patrons at the neighboring tables.

At the entrance you'll see a photo of Leonardo De Caprio and Celine Dion... you'll say, oh wow! This is gonna be something really great. We ordered calamari, Ceasar salad and mushroom soup for starters. I love their plating plus the food was superb.

We recently ate dinner at Aurora and the service and food were delicious! Someone posted that the serving sizes were small so two of us shared two appetizers and then couldn’t finish our mains! We had the calamari, burrata, pappardelle al ragu and the gnocchi gorgonzola. Leftovers were also great 😊

Absolutely loved this place! Cozy, intimate Italian spot with incredible food. The tableside tiramisu is a MUST — so fun and unbelievably good. The lobster ravioli was decadent, rich, and a solid 10/10.

A most delightful dinner out. Service by Anya was impeccable. The calamari appetizer was outstanding and our pasta main was absolutely scrumptious. Will return in the near future. Cheers.

We were here for a birthday of a 94 year-old Italian lady who enjoyed the wine the food, the service, and the opportunity to share another meal in such a great establishment… Well done, Aurora

We enjoyed our prompt service! Paulina was right there at all the right times. She shared fantastic recommendations and we were not disappointed when taking her advice! We WILL be back and I have already shared with anyone who will listen ;)
