    10/10 experience, the service was warm and welcoming and I came in as a solo diner and they were able to make smaller portions of different apps so I could try them! The wine was excellent, the food exceeded expectations—that pan con tomate on homemade sourdough had no business blowing me away like that. Get the cake!!!!!!!

    Aera is one of my favourite restaurants to celebrate anything. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and I brought him to celebrate. The food is AMAZING! I ordered the rigatoni and he ordered the stuffed chicken with a side of mash potatoes. The portions are amazing you will definitely leave feeling full! The restaurant has a stunning view over the city, and it is an amazing place to take cute photos. Staff is really sweet, and definitely makes you feel welcomed. The prices are reasonable and you won’t break the bank to eat luxury.

    Our server was amazing in recommending options that accommodated my dietary restrictions which aren’t an easy feat in an Italian restaurant as I’m intolerant to tomatoes, peppers, gluten, cream and cheese. The bass crudo, gluten free pappardelle with mushrooms and chocolate sorbetto affogato was incredible! I’d definitely go back. The handmade gluten free pasta alone is worth a trip back. SO GOOD! My dining partner thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well.
