    We live in the area but hadn't tried this neighbor gem. To our surprise we gave it a try and now it's one of our favorite restaurants. We can't wait to go back and highly recommend it.

    We enjoyed a delicious meal with long time friends in a lovely candlelight setting at Aurora! Our server made good recommendations for the bruschetta as a starter and the spinach, Aurora and Caesar salads were perfect. My shrimp and penne pasta was delicious. Other tasty main courses were petrale, lasagna and chicken Parmesan. We couldn’t resist the desserts. The tiramisu was a a beautiful presentation and the spumoni ice cream was a special treat!

    The food was terrible. I asked the waiter how a specific dish was prepared and the waiter did not give an accurate description of how the food would be prepared. I would not have ordered it had I known the truth. A meal from the frozen food isle would have tasted better.

    Had a Christmas night dinner here and it was good. The servers were a bit exhausted, not surprisingly, by the time we arrived at 8:30. Despite that everything was good and the quality and pricing was good.

    Special Christmas menu. Started with toasty garlic bread, and delicious crab cakes that were fresh and accompanied with a tasty sauce. The pasta dishes were excellent.

    I made a reservation, but it didn't show on the log. We had to wait for another 30 min. Although the average food price on the menu is less than $30, the portions are small, so you will spend more on food here.

    Quaint place on the south of town in a quiet neighborhood. Authentic Italian. My daughter had the linguini pescatore; my wife the I had the pappardelli; grandson the gnocci; and I had the carbonara. All the dishes were delicious. For dessert we had the bread pudding—very good. This place is a great find. Definitely recommend it for quiet dinner for 2 or a family.
