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.

    Food is absolutely amazing. I’ve never seen eggs with the yolk so orange, had potatoes so flavorful, and oh my goodness, that bacon was heavenly.

    We celebrated a memorable Birthday dinner with family and friends. This was a first time dining at this restaurant so a little skeptical on how the treatment would be handling our requests and expectations. Our waiter Brayan greeted us with energy. attention and completed knowledge of the menu as well as specials . To add to his professionalism he made several recommendations as to the choice of dinners and appetizers. He treated us with respect and added to our fun and good time. When recommending Aura to others. not only would I give it a five star, I would definitely recommend Brayan. . My next visit there will only be made if Brayan is our waiter . Thank You Brayan. Troy

    Food outstanding! Prices very high for the neighborhood. We would definitely return but only with friends that could deal with the cost.

    Amazing. Went for Tel Aviv night and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing, cocktails as well. Absolutely worth it for $65 per person. I can’t wait to see the upcoming menus for passport night.

    I have been to this restaurant numerous times. Last night we had a 6:30 reservation and we were a party of four. We were all present before 6:30. The hostess said we would have a table in the main room. The manager decided to give the table to one of his friends which were a party of two. My husband went to get the managers attention and he proceeded to walk away which then angered my husband. The manager then got confrontational when my husband tried to tell him that he gave our table away. I even said to the manager that i'm a regular customer at his restaurant. He was extremely rude and disrespectful to me when i said that. I have never been treated so poorly. I can continue to go on about this manager's behavior. I just want you to know i have never written a poor review about a restaurant, this is the first. We ended up staying and had our dinner .Our servers were wonderful. Maybe the manager should learn from his staff. Im also a long time loyal customer at DaNicola and know Nick who is the nicest man.To add one more comment the manager never came over to our table to say so sorry about this misunderstanding.
