I frequently pass Aurora on my way to the park and always wanted to try it. The outdoor seating is so picturesque, and rightly so, looks like a good event venue option. The food and service did not disappoint. Every employee I encountered was polite. I really enjoyed the lobster scramble for brunch and the lemon oil for the bread was a nice touch. I appreciated that the outdoor area is partially enclosed so the vibe is mostly quiet and peaceful (but I did go rather early before the weekend crowd). Will definitely be back again.

Like always never disappoints. Love coming here the outdoor seating area is quiet, service is always great and employees are attentive. Went for a quick lunch and ordered the kale salad with the grilled shrimp was nervous about this but it was surprisingly very good, balanced and the dressing was creamy, shrimp was so fresh and had a nice sear to it. Also ordered the pasta with the oxtail and omg so so good! Very flavorful smooth and just creamy. The drinks were also amazing love how simple the menu is here but yet the food is always flavorful and fresh!

I've been to Aurora twice already and I've been so pleased both times! The outside garden is such a wonderful experience in the Spring. The food is so tasty and unique. There are some standard dishes but they mostly are creative twists on classics. The service was absolutely solid as well.

I was there for a small birthday party (12 people). The food and service was excellent. The wait staff was attentive and was available whenever we needed them. The food was also delicious! Parking is difficult on the street. There are some inexpensive indoor lots in the area.

The energy on Grand Ave is just amazing.. Dinner with my fav and this was his choice. Reservations were booked and we waited about 5-10 minutes before being seated in the inner dining room. The place was packed. The room was filled with a number of different cultures and it was cool. I did not like being seated so close to other parties but I guess you have to maximize space when you can. We tried the Octopus for appetizer which was a tease as far as portion. The papperdelle had a very odd smell and it may have been the padano and I did not like the texture of pasta.. it was hard. The steak and potatoes were delish. Everything was small in portion and while I did enjoy myself, I did not like having to be so close to the party sitting next to me. Still a great dining experience

So happy we snagged a rsvp to this restaurant while I was home for the holidays! Located in Williamsburg, this resto is inviting and in a perfect location. The space is nice. They have an outdoor covered patio. It was warm and we ate there. They also have an uncovered section. The food is delicious and the service is superb. We feasted on: - the #octopus and the seared #scallops as starters. Both were tender and delicious. The scallops were buttery and melted in your mouth - squid ink pasta - ooohh the seafood, delish and the pasta shape is actually looked like squid! - the ravioli with burrata cheese with mushrooms - divine - Cacio e Pepe - spicy and creamy The entire dinner was amazing! Great cocktails! If you're ever in Brooklyn, book this resto.

This restaurant is so pretty and the food was great too! I do however wish that the menu had more pasta options and more variety for vegetarians. Nonetheless, the ricotta cheese bread and the truffle mushroom ravioli we had was delicious! Seating was very cramped and tables were placed very close to eachother.

Best. Thanksgiving. Restaurant. Ever. The fixed menu was a great balance of Thanksgiving and Italian cuisine. The staff accommodated our party's need to sit outdoors, opening up the heated sidewalk hut for us. Those deserts will keep me coming back!
