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.

    This is my favorite restaurant in Williamsburg, the staff is so nice and welcoming, especially CJ and Antonio who was our server, he is so polite and friendly. It’s always a pleasure to come back and dine here because the food is amazing from appetizers to main dishes, whatever you choose you won’t make a mistake. Hardly recommend this restaurant!

    20/10 — it was the warmest best dining experience I’ve had in ages, I left feeling like I just got dinner at a good friend’s house — the staff was the BEST EVER, even the other diners were friendly and lovely and our dinner was absolutely perfect. Cannot wait to come back!

    This place never disappoints! We hadn't been in a few years and it was still delicious as ever. Everything is incredibly fresh- we had a few oysters, my partner had the scallops- just perfectly seared, and I had the oxtail ragu- their handcut fresh pasta will haunt my dreams...

    Excellent experience! It was our first visit, and we will be returning. Had a reservation for Saturday at 6:45 pm, and we arrived about 20 minutes early. We were greeted upon arrival with a smile and were lead to our table. Service was attentive to details and made excellent recommendations. The food was AMAZING! Prosciutto Burratta appetizer was the perfect starter, and my wife's martini was made perfectly. For entrees, my wife had the special "secret pork" and I had the duck breast. These were cooked perfectly and tasted was amazing. Highly recommend enjoying an experience here and we can't wait to go back in warmer weather to experience the secret garden al fresco! Thank you to everyone from the front of house to the back for making our visit most enjoyable! Ciao
