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.

    Oh my hush, delicious. Mussels were Devine as was the calamari which included fried shrimp As well. Parpadelle was fresh and cooked a perfect el dente! Loved the sauce. Both of my guests had Bavette steaks, yum. Lovely gelato to savor. One of my favorite Brooklyn spots! Always spot on, always very very good!

    A consistently excellent Italian restaurant, contemporary dishes from the old world. The vegetarian appetizers are to die for. The service is very good as well. A gem.

    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!
