Italian
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.

    I've been coming here for years. Always food made with care here. Parking is now the usual Williamsburg non existent so we have started using cabs sometimes. Oh well? You could make a meal of their bread with olive oil!

    I've eaten here once before. My meal was ok. Shishito peppers were good. My lamb chops were a little chewy but isn't most meat these days? Artichokes that came with lamb chops were good. Service was very good and a nice atmosphere.

    My mother and I had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. We came there for Mother's Day brunch/lunch. The menu was limited but everything we got was delicious! Our waiter was professional and attentive and had a beautiful smile. We were seated right away outside and we did not feel rushed when we finished our meal. I recommend it and hope to go back soon.

    Aurora only takes reservations for inside, so we booked it. But when we got there, we realized we probably could have eaten outside. It didn't look like a crazy wait. So skip the res and go for outside! Food was nice. Service was great. Def recommend.

    Had a great dinner with 7 other physician colleagues part of the Mangiata group. There was a great choice of appetizer but the pasta were the highlights. We especially liked the pacchery with seafood and the special risotto with scallops and sea urchin. The wine selection is well curated all italian with some very good values such as the Cannonau for $60

    Loved 99% of the experience but although sitting 1/2 way outside (outdoor room with roof by main dining area)… it was remarkably loud; very difficult to hold conversations.—- I’ll be back but will choose different area
