Kale salad was the highlight of brunch, menu is standard Italian leaning and the vibes are good!

Great neighborhood restaurant ! We come as a walk in and the staff were super welcoming ! Food was good and healthy !<br>The vibe and ambiance are cool too !<br><br>If you look for good food in Williamsburg and good quality price, aurora is a good spot !
We hosted a 50th birthday dinner for 15 people at Auora and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The planning process was seamless the team was incredibly flexible and accommodating, especially with allowing us to bring in florals and additional décor.<br><br>They also created a customized prix-fixe menu for our group, which made it much easier to keep costs predictable while still offering a great dining experience for our guests.<br><br>The food was excellent, the service was attentive and warm, and the overall atmosphere made the night feel really special. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate!
Wonderful food and service was timely and pleasant. Outside seating in garden was really neat.
Make a reservation, get a blood orange soda & a cocktail… order all the apps for a chefs kiss girl dinner. I should have taken more photos but I was enjoying the evening with friends. Octopus, cooked perfectly. Steak tartar, delish. The crusty bread should come as a table starter, it’s addictive. Zucchini blossoms had such good flavor. My steak dinner was delicious.<br>Don’t forget dessert! Affogato is a must have. The tiramisu was fluffy and not too sweet. Gelato options were enjoyed by others at our table. Oh! The chocolate cake is definitely an expected delight, I’m wondering if it was a flourless cake.<br>I will be back.
What a beautiful experience at Aurora in Brooklyn. The pasta was absolutely spectacular , rich, perfectly balanced, and full of authentic Italian flavor. The risotto was equally impressive, creamy and refined, cooked to perfection.<br><br>The kale salad was fantastic , fresh, vibrant, and beautifully prepared.<br><br>And the dessert… the chocolate cake paired with their homemade ice cream was simply unforgettable. We also enjoyed a lovely selection of Italian wines that complemented every course beautifully.<br><br>The cozy ambiance made the entire evening feel warm and intimate.<br><br>A special thank you to Antonio for his attentive and gracious service , he made the evening even more special.<br><br>Highly recommend for an authentic , innovative and elevated Italian dining experience in Brooklyn.
Most incredible gnocchi I’ve ever had. This is coming from someone who makes their own. Light, delicious and flavors that are insanely addictive. I didn’t want it to be done. The Berkshire pork chop also amazing but my bf ate it so fast I only got one bite. I will certainly be back. One of the best meals I’ve had the honor to taste. Bravo great work
This place is simply phenomenal. I went for the first time over a year ago, and have been dreaming about their proscuitto di parma (aged 24 months and then placed on a tomato crustini) ever since. I went back yesterday, and it was just as good. I can’t express enough how amazing this place is, and the service was wonderful. All the servers are friendly and helpful, and were willing to accommodate our quick turn-around time of 30 minutes on a busy weekend. I’ve tried a ton of italian food in NYC, and this place is hands down my favorite. The pasta is handmade and the desserts & drinks are also excellent. I honestly don’t have a bad thing to say about it - we went back two days in a row because the proscuitto bruschetta was so amazing. THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF AND CHEFS AT AURORA.
My family was there for New Year's Day brunch. Staff was courteous and friendly. Though they had a lot of customers, everyone's conversations were respectfully low. Some restaurants I've been to I would need to raise my voice from across the table. I hate that. Our waitress, Susie, was terrific. Very professional, friendly and helpful. Though not at all intrusive, Susie would check our table to see if we needed anything. The food and dessert were excellent. This was our first visit here. We will definitely be returning.
Wow! What an amazing place! Came here for birthday dinner and ordered the Radicchio as an appetizer. Cacio e Pepe for entree. Both were just perfection. I don’t have a very hard to please palette but when I have quality food, it’s easy to tell it’s been made with intention and skill. Come here!
This place is a gem! Rustic and cozy.<br><br>Wonderful ambiance and excellent service by Antonio, our server, and CJ, the manager, who welcomed us like family. We truly felt like we were home, which was nice because we were celebrating a pre-wedding family dinner.<br><br>The food was wonderful and delicious. We started with a few appetizers to share and most of us got pasta entrées but some also ordered the steak, the pork, and risotto with wine overflowing to multiple toasts of course! We finished with an array of desserts that was a perfect finish to a perfect meal.
Although I'm giving it 4 stars, I do believe if I go back, I'll change it to 5. The food was good, the atmosphere was great, and the service was ok. In their defense, they were getting ready for a wedding that was happening 1 and a half hours after our reservation. We had the bunch menu and it had a good variety of options. We had, duck sausage, pasta, french toast, and a burger. The total came out to about 100 dollars. This was a very fair price considering it was for 2 people and we over ordered.
The food was good. The manager was so cool, the staff were awesome. You can definitely enjoy Italian food with a twist. A dinner date and your partner will forever remember that night.
We had reservations for 7:30 and we got seated right away. We ordered the squid ink cavatelli, it was filled with flavor and tons of seafood. This was shared by two of us and it was enough. We also got the tiramisu- for our liking it had a bit too much coffee but it was a great sharing option. Overall, the best part was definitely the food, our kind waiter, the lighting, the mood. It was a great experience with great company!
