About this restaurant

Aura is a neighborhood restaurant that celebrates how food, drink, people, and atmosphere come together
Aura is inspired by the banks of the Mediterranean, the spirit of family, the crisp coolness of a just caught oyster, the vibrancy of farm fresh vegetables, and the spirit of, “il dolce far niente.”

Here at Aura, we pride ourselves on hospitality, with a focus on memorable moments, whether you’re coming in for a small bite and a glass of wine at the bar, an intimate dinner with friends, or a large celebration.

Our menus are inspired by our culture, our seasonal ingredients, and our travels… and we welcome you to share your aura with us. We hope to see you soon.

    This is not our first time at Aura, and it definitely won't be our last. Every time we are there, the experience keeps getting better and better. Food was on-point as always! Had the Tuna special and it far exceeded my expectations, fresh and properly cooked. 2 people at our table ordering the Spicy Rigatoni and each of them can't handle the spice so the kitchen tamed it down for them and they loved it. I can go on and on about the food, but you get the idea. Our serve Tammy was awesome and so kind and friendly. I want to shout out to Demetri (apologies if I spelled his name wrong), but this young gentleman who is valeting the cars every time we are there and, in this heat, is kind, respectful, courteous, friendly and above all diligent in his job. Always a smile and always wishes us a good meal. Behaviors like these are a reflection of both the individual (and I am sure he is a wonderful person), but also how the team at Aura truly works together. In short, the experience was amazing from the moment we got out of our vehicle. Thank you to the Aura Team for making an impact in the Island Park and Long Beach community!!!

    The waitstaff was terrific. The food was delicious. My steak came out rarer than expected and sent it back to be cooked more. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food and ambiance. Will definitely be back again.

    The food was delicious. I recommend the Harvest salad and the pork shop with potatoes and peppers. For dessert the mousse is to die for.
