Neighbourhood gem

Aura is a neighborhood restaurant that celebrates how food, drink, people, and atmosphere come together
Aura is inspired by the banks of the Mediterranean, the spirit of family, the crisp coolness of a just caught oyster, the vibrancy of farm fresh vegetables, and the spirit of, “il dolce far niente.”

Here at Aura, we pride ourselves on hospitality, with a focus on memorable moments, whether you’re coming in for a small bite and a glass of wine at the bar, an intimate dinner with friends, or a large celebration.

Our menus are inspired by our culture, our seasonal ingredients, and our travels… and we welcome you to share your aura with us. We hope to see you soon.

Great spot , excellent food . Service was very good. We sat at the high tables near the bar. Back room tight and you miss the lighting and energy of the front .

Another amazing experience at Aura. We tried new dishes such as the seafood stew and it was delicious. Atmosphere was lively and the hostesses were friendly and were on top of everything and attentive. Service from all staff was also fabulous.

The food was delicious and abundant and beautifully presented . Our server, Krystal, was attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, just like its sister restaurant, DaNicola, in Hewlett , the noise level is awful. An evening out shouldn’t necessitate having to shout to be heard by one’s table mates.

Waited 50 mins for our table along with many other customers who also had long waits with their reservations. We had an 8pm reservation for 4 people and they did not seat us until 8:50pm. They did comp us 1 appetizer for the long wait. It also took a long time for the entrees to be served.

Food was very good- Harvest salad, Branzino and Salmon. I hate those narrow, long 2 top tables. Every time my husband and I wanted to talk we had to bend in towards each other because we were far apart and the noise level was high. Go, but not on Saturday night.
