Grotta di Fuoco, which translates to Fire Cave, is an industrial, rustic space with subtle lighting, raw steel, reclaimed wood, and concrete finishes. Step inside, descend below street level, and enter our vision of a cave. As for the fire, our focal point is a wood burning oven right next to the bar. You can sit close enough to feel the warmth, hear the crackle, and smell the scent of food being cooked, all while being entranced by the open flame. While Long Beach is rocking during the summer with the beach, Boardwalk, events, and outdoor dining, winter is when Grotta heats up. Open year round, the off season is the perfect time for out of towners to come to the West End for an unforgettable meal. We hope to see you all soon!

Another amazing experience at Aura. We tried new dishes such as the seafood stew and it was delicious. Atmosphere was lively and the hostesses were friendly and were on top of everything and attentive. Service from all staff was also fabulous.

We arrived at 6:15 when the restaurant was about 20% full, by the time we left it was packed. Everything was delicious as always. Service by Daniella was accommodating and friendly. Portions of the fish were very big so we decided to take half home along with another order of pasta for a meal the next day. I’m so glad I live 5 minutes from DaNicola.
