About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Hot spot
Neighborhood 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.

The food was prepared according to our order, and brought to the table in a timely manner. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and we never felt rushed. We will definitely return to this restaurant n the future.

I went to celebrate my best friend’s birthday, and the restaurant was kind enough to let me arrive a bit early to decorate the table. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing, and the overall vibe was wonderful. This place has definitely become one of my favorites!

Very pleasantly surprised. the food turned out to be very very good. easch dish we had had something a bit different with the preparation as compared to other restaurants....The pork chop was deliscious and perfectly prepared. Nice compliment of roasted potatoes , cherry tomatoes, and sprinkled with pits of spicy sausages, the lobster roll was treated with an unusal but very tasty light light dressing , which allowed the taste of the lobster to come through as well as to add a nice flavor We will certainly go back.......noise was moderate but to be fair we were there in middle of week

The appetizers on the menu all looked scrumptious so it was hard to decide but we shared 2 orders of burrata and peaches as well as zucchini chips. Both apps were more than enough to share. Our entrees included 2 different pasta dishes, steak frittes and a gigantic pork chop as well as a salmon dish. They were all delicious.

Highly recommend Aura. We arrived on time for a 6:30 reservation on a Sat night. Dining room was nearly full but we were seated immediately. Service was very attentive. Drinks - terrific. Food was amazing - one pork chop, one salmon and a side of Brussels sprouts which were a standout. Everything was hot, delicious and plated beautifully; generous portions. Dessert was some amazing gelato and decaf cappucino. The bill was very reasonable for a nice night out. When we left around 8, dining room was still full and bar was bustling. Great to see! We will certainly be back!
