Aurora Ristorante

I throughly enjoyed my time. The location is cozy and has a family run place. The waitress was so kind. And the food was absolutely delicious! And the canoli's were so good! I will definitely be returning. The price was good for large portions. There is a small parking lot next to the restaurant that was almost full at lunch time so reservations are suggested since it a smaller restaurant.

My husband and I love this restaurant and its staff, who are a warm and welcoming family. The food is outstanding, the portions large, and they offer salads as appetizers and small dessert cannoli to complete the meal, which we have with our espressos. Every time we have come here, which we try to do at least once a month, we leave full, happy and talking about what we will order when we return. We are so glad that they reopened their restaurant and that their wonderful chef and father decided to leave retirement and return to offering us such wonderful dinners!

Never left a google review in my life, but this place deserves all the best. I’ve worked in great Italian restaurants, I am almost family with many great Italian cooks, and this place blew me away. I did takeout, not expecting much but just some dinner, not only were the portions generous, but the chicken melted in my mouth. They also gave big portions of pasta on the side, good salad, and 2 free cannolis! This place deserves more than 5 stars!

Excellent food and great service. Highly recommend 👌

We love this little Italian restaurant. Intimate, friendly, unpretentious, they cheerfully offer perfectly sized portions of excellent food. Not small, pretty food. Not voluminous bland food. Just carefully prepared, nicely seasoned and served with a smile. One of our favorite local spots.

I recently found this gem of a restaurant and love going there. The food is delicious, great specials every day, portions are very generous and the owners and staff are very gracious and friendly. The waitress with a European accent is the best. She really makes the entire dining experience a complete pleasure. You need to check this place out. Make reservations in advance.

The food is outstanding! I mean literally the best Italian food I’ve ever had. It’s super fresh, and flavorful. Thank you guys, for the hard work in the kitchen because only amazing things truly come out of there. I also want to thank the guys in the front. You guys are always friendly and going above and beyond, and super attentive. The service always tops off the great experience each time with the combination of a really satisfying meal, but I can’t forget the dessert :).

The reviews are right. this place is fantastic. Home-style, totally unfussy and unpretentious food with the very highest quality ingredients, and prepared absolutely perfectly. Had red peppers with mozzarella appetizer, grilled squid, red snapper entree, and eggplant with sausage. Portions are very large and we took food home. Every dish was seasoned absolutely perfectly. I look forward to returning.

A home run. This is truly a "little gem" hiding in plain sight. Exceeded our expectations. Food piping hot and delicious. Hospitality and service was one of the best experiences we've ever had. Warm atmosphere. Do give this place a try, you will feel like you're in grandma's kitchen. You may even think you are in Italy.

This is the best Italian food around. Small place. Chef is always on point; his sons serve the tables, and they make it feel familiar. I have not one little bad thing to say about the place. I always get the octopus, which is delicious. Their lasagna is the best I’ve ever had. Try the lobster ravioli at least once, everyone. I’ll be back soon, for my birthday... again.

Amazing! We always order their food literally every week and they never fail to impress. The portions are substantial and quality of ingredients is phenomenal. Great place to enjoy authentic Italian dishes. Thank you

Still closed. Was my favorite Italian restaurant

W-O-W! absolutely unbelievable from start to finish! Family owned and operated, the owner is actually the chef - the sons work the floor and are extremely attentive to the customers. The food, absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh and well seasoned. Worth every dollar. Will definitely be back.

The reviews about this place are not a lie. Excellent attentive service. Delicious meals and deserts. I especially liked the limencello cake. They even put plastic wrap around our leftover container so that it wouldn't spill on the way home. Who else does that!?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This place is really great they make sure the Calamari is fresh for take out! One thing you do not want to do is order from grub Hub! Order direct and pick it up or dine in!!! Amazing Food complimentary cannoli's was the Icing on the Cake!! 10/10 taste and size of entrees

A knowledgeable Italian foodie friend of mine told me to check out Aurora. We couldn’t be happier. Excellent quality and taste. The staff were friendly and provided great service. We had 5 different entrees and we would order all 5 again. The cannoli were amazing- crunchy outside and flavorful filling. It’s a small dining room so consider reservations but they also do take-out. The menu they show online is very abbreviated compared to what you can order when you go there to eat in or take-out.

I recently ate here for the first time. I was totally impressed by the quality of the food and the service. Besides my own entree (branzino), I sampled two others and liked them just as much as my own entree. Our waiter was extremely helpful. Better than any other Italian restaurant that I've tried in North Jersey.

Very very warm hosts! And amazing Italian food! Made our Valentines days! We would love to come again and again to Aurora ristorante... must try - sardine fry, lobster ravioli, broiled seafood and artichoke

Love this restaurant. Food was excellent prices were reasonable and staff was amazing. Can’t wait for my next visit. If I could give 10 stars a would. I highly recommend this place.

Went for a family dinner and accommodations were great. Food was made fresh, presented in a timely manner, and tasted fantastic! We have been to the place in the past but since the renovations, we felt the restaurant was even better. Will go again in the near future.
