Please bring back the roasted mushroom starter and the ilatium Amarone! Otherwise heavenly experience - many thanks ! 🙏🏼
Great service and food. Outdoor garden was so pretty with lots of heaters!
Lovely, warm, and safe outdoor seating, complete with plexiglass barriers between tables. Great place to go for indulgent, thoughtful Italian fare and a safe yet still bustling scene that feels almost like dining out pre-pandemic.
I came here before but goodness I feel their portion has gotten so much smaller. Croquettes used to be three pieces but now it is two, given on a small salad plate with no effort in presentation. That’s not how I remembered it at all!
Just all around great. Easy-going, hard working servers. I felt like we were being taken care of even though we didn’t necessarily have a single point of contact.
Anniversary
Great service! Went there for the first time and glad i did. Will be going back! Food was excellent along with drinks. Reasonable prices as well. Ambiance was beautiful. They have these big heating lamps which got the job done.
Cacio e pepe pasta was amazing. Service was sub-par but it is also COVID and I'm sure they are understaffed so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Great heat lamps and the patio is set up so cute!
As usual, it maintains its beauty and kitchen cred. Even though it was really cold, being surrounded by heating units was pretty good! And even this venue and many others haven't figured out that a cold table cools a hot dish way too fast (needs tablets or heated dish underneath, etc.), I was grateful for the opportunity to enjoy a quiet, delicious family supper there.
Would have liked to have been seated in patio
Amazing service amazing people amazing food. I go weekly
Always amazing service and great food!!!
Great food, prompt service. We felt relatively safe in the outdoor garden where they have several air filters and plexi between tables. It was a little loud with the filters going and the music, but we did appreciate the work they put in to make it a safe environment. Nice twist on Italian food and great cocktails.
The ambiance was nice and the service was great. The food itself was disappointing. Our appetizer was just okay and both mine and my partners entrees were decent, nothing to rave about. I’ve eaten a lot of Italian cuisine and as mentioned before, I was disappointed in the food. Everything else was great.
Food was great, heaters worked well, outdoor ambiance was very pleasant.
Excellent experience. The food, service and ambiance, (even given the constraints related to COVID), were all top notch. We were a group of 7, so we tried the majority of the brunch menu. The homemade pasta were outstanding, as were all the dishes we tasted.
Great restaurant. Food was excellent and the decor was really cute. Terrace could be heated a little more and music level a little lowered. These are details, I would recommend this restaurant very much.
Everything was fantastic, the food and the suggestions and the ambiance!
Love the outdoor atmosphere. It was very cozy and warm even though we were outside. The food is always amazing too
One of the best spots in Williamsburg! My boyfriend and I went twice in one week. The cocktails are amazing and the food is absolutely delicious! It is worth every penny!
What a find!! I was taking some chef friends with me on a culinary adventure to Brooklyn. We had limited time and most of my go to places either opened after 5 or sadly hadn’t made it through COVID. I read some reviews and an article about Aurora snd decided to take a chance. Sooooooooo glad I did!
Bravo Aurora! I will be back!!
The BEST Italian food I have had in the city. Amazing ambiance and was warm even being outside for dining. Will 100% be coming back!
Loved it so much!
Only complaint was that the space heaters ween’t on and it was brutally cold
food, service, outdoor decor, all great!! can’t wait to return.
Very nice restaurant and would absolutely recommend this restaurant to others
Super delicious, good service but very European style (when you need something you have to be a bit more proactive in flagging down staff). Great outdoor space even on one of the coldest nights!
Outdoor heated seating, good food and pleasant staff.
Great food and service! It was just a little cold- which, obviously dining outside in the cold is not ideal but, Aurora did an amazing job figuring out how to still work during this pandemic. Can’t wait to go back.
Enjoy my meal there 10/10 recommend
Even though it was cold out. the fireplaces around all the tables kept us warm and cozy
Really nice option for outdoor dining. Great ambiance. Delicious food. Affable service.
Took my boyfriend here for his birthday. The staff was very attentive, food was amazing, and we loved how they designed the outdoor area with all the greenery and heat lamps to stay warm while following covid guidelines eating outside. We ordered the strip steak special with side of broccoli rabe and potatoes and it was SO good.
A site for sore eyes - especially during this pandemic
Amazing! Very good food and service!
Fantastic brunch best in Williamsburg
Second time there and the food is delicious but pretty small portions. The thing I was disappointed in is that I called to make sure that the heaters were good in the outside dining and it was very cold and unbearable and we rushed our dinner when it was my boyfriends birthday and I wanted him to enjoy himself so I’m quite disappointed in that.
1. No temperature check
2. Freezing
3. The waiter brought out the wrong dish and blamed it on us!
My friends and I had an amazing time at Aurora during my 2 nights stat in NY. I’m excited to go back again.
Great experience, love the food here. This place has become a go to for me
Amazing date place. Loved the decor. Service was quick. Loved the food. Would like to have more food options.
