Aurora Soho

Stopped in randomly for lunch (2pm) after a morning of shopping and was surprised to see it so empty, there were only two other parties besides us. Staff was very welcoming and got us seated right away with some crisp wine, she ordered the kale salad, I ordered the charred octopus—both came out quickly and were very tasty, but it’s important to note, these portions are pretty big, so bring your appetite. Next she ordered the cacio e Pepe and I got the scallops and the shishito peppers which were amazing—again, large portions, and to top things off we (I, let’s be honest) ended with the strawberry sorbet. Overall the food was fantastic, the service was great, and the atmosphere was lovely, but questionable. It was lots of Samba da benção-esque, fado music playing which was great, and then somehow switched to the Austin Powers theme song lol, enjoyable, but interesting! Would recommend

We stumbled upon this restaurant, as it was close to our hotel and boy was it an experience of food. The rosemary focaccia paired with the burrata was one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. The butternut squash with the octopus also just went down instantly We also went for the Rib Eye (40oz) and had a great evening. -1 for service, as we asked for a light red wine and got one of the strongest ever. But taste buds differ I guess.

Fantastic restaurant, its been a staple of mine for over 6 years in the city. Thursday evening was a treat! As always fabulous food! We were so well taken care of. We did notice some crazy table from Europe beside us They left $1 in tips and were extremely rude to the poor server who handled herself so elegantly. The manager himself was extremely polite. Thankfully he asked that they leave after making the atmosphere less than appealing. I heard them say they were shocked to have to pay gratuity. In America we are proud to pay 20% in tips for great service. I realize in Europe they don’t tip. When in Rome…. If you don’t want to tip just get out in my opinion. Go home! Aurora is amazing! I cant wait for another moment of elegance at Aurora! Thank you David and Antonietta for taking such special care of us and all those around us. See you soon!

I love Aurora!!! The staff is always so kind and courteous and always make sure that our dining is cozy and we get the best drinks and dishes!!! Cataldo is our bartender and we always enjoy the service and delicious cocktails 🍹 the food is always so fresh and has a great presentation. The ambiance is cozy and I love to come down all the time. Definitely recommend everyone to try out the Burrata and prosciutto and the branzino!

Aurora is a great restaurant in the soho area, great food with good prices! The restaurant is cozy and with a good playlist ideal for a date night or dinner with friends or family. The service is very nice and they have a really good wine list for very good prices! If you are in soho definitely stop by Aurora for a nice meal

Aurora it’s one of my favorite places in town. This place have being like home for the past 10 years. My recommendation here it’s actually the full menu, lol wait, I do love the squid ink pasta and the focaccia. Everyone here it’s friendly and sweet, usually sit at the bar, one of the best service I had in my life. I’d recommended 100% always. Love Aurora Soho.
