Wonderful! I had the 2 course express lunch. I started with the goat cheese fritter, marinated beets and baby arugula salad and for my lunch I had the Pan-Fried Chicken Milanese. Server was attentive, food was fresh and had a nice presentation. Delicious bread too! I look forward to returning soon!

I have lived in Rye for most of my life and cannot believe that I have never been here until recently! What a gem! The food was delicious, reasonably priced and the service was top notch. The décor was a bit outdated but it didn’t even matter because the experience was wonderful. Can’t wait to go back!

This is an amazing Italian restaurant. The pasta dishes are incredible. The Kobe Ravioli is great and so are the pizzas. The décor and ambiance are warm and inviting. The place is packed every time I go so you know it’s doing something right. The bar is my favorite spot. The bartender Eric, is very funny and knowledgeable of the wines and menu. I usually judge a place by two things, the food and the staff. The food is great and the staff is awesome. I will be back.

Came here this week and enjoyed a delicious lunch with my boyfriend. We ordered the Farmed Scottish salmon(perfectly cooked), Butternut squash and celery root ravioli(delicious), a side of Brussels sprouts(delicious), and Bread pudding for dessert. We both enjoyed everything, and was happy that we came. Our waiter was attentive, and polite. Will definetly recommend this restaurant to friends, and looking forward to returning!

Food was great. Waiter was impatient and disturbed that we were a bunch of women who haven’t seen each other in over 30 years and had a lot of catching up to do –we weren’t fast enough for him. Oh well. The food was worth it. Nice atmosphere.

I wish that there was a place like Aurora’s closer to my home. It’s the perfect neighborhood Italian restaurant that is just upscale enough without losing it’s casual style. The food was good and the waitstaff was friendly and attentive – albeit, a little misplaced with being attentive at times. It would be better to give me a moment to taste my food before coming over to ask if everything is alright, and our waitress did this immediately after each course was served. We felt the Chicken Milanese was good, but overall a bit bland. It tasted as if there wasn’t enough salt or basic seasoning in the chicken. The Lemon Shrimp was a nice, light dish, but I am not crazy about saffron and it tasted as if there was a bit added to the sauce. The Bread Pudding dessert was great, but the caramel sauce had a slight burnt taste to it, which is just a matter of preference for your taste buds. All in all, we would go back.

We had reservations and arrived promptly, however, from the minute we were seated we were not given even a minute before the wait staff approached asking what we would like to order. Felt like we were rushed the entire night. Bus staff very rude clearing off table while we were still sipping our coffee. When we wanted an after dinner drink were told«no» because they needed the table. As someone who eats out almost every weekend and likes to try different restaurants, I will not be recommending Aurora!

Very racially charged place. Checked for a table and front desk did not even check and said no. People sitting inside are all white. Not a single minority.

A friend and I met in Rye to have a glass of wine and relax outside on a beautiful day. Although it was mid day, past lunch, and the kitchen not yet open for dinner, we were warmly greeted, seated at a lovely table outside and treated to some of the best service by Chris, our waiter. He was extremely knowledgeable about wine, offered us tastes of two wines we were considering, explained the qualities of each, helped us decide and and his service made our day. Later that night we went to a far more expensive and famous restaurant in Yonkers for dinner, and wish Chris had been our waiter. We far more enjoyed our wine and humus at the Aurora than any other restaurant we visited. Thank you Chris and the Aurora for making our day!

I was hugely surprised by the food at this place. No wonder it was so crowded. I guess the locals really know their places. The waiter recommended the Yellowfin Tuna Crudo and the Parmesan Crusted Halibut. Both these dishes were spot on and a combination of the unusual ingredients made for a never before had experience. If you’re remotely into fish you must try it. I wasn’t too impressed by the interior though, it looked a little dated and pretentious. I would have liked a little more plain color palette. I will hopefully go back soon and write in a little more detail.

My buddy was happy with the Chicken Parmesan. I had the Pan Roasted Bronzino(similar to sea bass) with crispy spaetzle, brussel sprouts, mushroom, apple mustard. Wow. One of the best fish dishes that I ever had. Great plating, very appealing visually. Friendly service. Good décor. Would definitely return here.

The food at Aurora is AMAZING and the service is great! I would recommend the margarita pizza, house salad, and I got some kind of great whole wheat pasta! The hummus and bread instead of just oil brings something different to the table. Mixed drinks are expensive, but well worth it!

I’ve never enjoyed a working lunch so much in my life. A $ 17 Prix Fixe lunch menu affords you an appetizer and entrée, both of which pack a lotta punch in portion size and flavor. I went with the Soup of the Day(Potato Leek) as an appetizer, and the Egg White Frittata as an entrée. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, and the waitstaff was kind and attentive. Better yet, I was in and out within 45 minutes, which makes Aurora the perfect midday destination for a quick and casual lunch date.

Typical suburban italian restaurant. The space was modernist, and filled with various blingy jamokes. The cocktails and wine were pretty good. The bread was OK. The appetizer pizza was unimpressive. The burrata was pretty good. Entrees received a mixed review. The chicken Milanese was pretty good. The other entrees were all over the map. Not a bad place, a good change of pace. Not somewhere worth going out of one’s way for.

The best«upscale dining»(yet somehow completely casual) in Rye… Period.

Aurora is a cute little Italian restaurant on an adorable main drag in Rye. The menu is impressively large, with more traditional Italian options as well as dishes that lean more toward New American-type fare. As others have noted, the hummus that comes with the bread basket is yummy. My goat cheese fritter salad was good, if a little different than what I’d expected(more like a goat cheese blintz — atop greens and beets — than fritter). The lemon fettuccine(my entrée) was a little disappointing because I couldn’t taste the artichoke sauce at all, but my husband loved his veal and my mom was happy with her tuna crudo. We shared the donuts for dessert. You really can’t go wrong with fried dough; they were delicious. Really a 3.5, but I just don’t feel like it merits rounding up to 4… I would definitely come back to try more of the menu if I was in the neighborhood.

Went here for Restaurant Week for lunch in March. It was good food and nice to know they have a set menu for lunches on specific days, so like their own person Restaurant Week but each week. The food is fresh, you can tell that. I had an egg white fritatta with goat cheese and mushrooms which was really yummy. Fluffy, light, just enough tto fill me up but not be over filling. LOVED the hummus dip for the bread… tthe bread however I wasn’t a fan of. I think they should do different bread… provide a whole grain version because they only provide a rye breaad and it was a little stale. The service was pretty good, not spectacular but pretty good. Everything caame out on time, but they could have checked on us a little bit more… it was lunch time and not very busy. Love the décor. I also enjoy the extensive menu they have. SOMANYOPTIONS! Love when a restuarantt has that. First time here was when I was in high school with an ex boyfriend who tookk me for Valentine’s Day and I remember it being VERY romantic as well as delicious. It did not disappoint me foodwise… I’ll have to go back witth my fiancé for dinner to see about the romantic part though lol. Definitely try if you’re in the area.

Came here during Hudson Valley Restaurant Week for the prix fixe, and it was excellent from start to finish. From the addictive homemade hummus dip to the fluke crudo to my perfect sirloin served with crispy, pillowy chickpea fries. I couldn’t finish my dessert(sticky toffee pudding) but it too was delicious. I tasted my friend’s mussels, crab salad, and tiramisu, and they were all spot on. Upscale atmosphere, dim lighting, and good service.

I knew I liked this place — once I read that it is affiliated with Acqua in Westport, CT. I knew why. Food is fresh and simple yet delicious! Service is friendly. 2 course lunch special for $ 14 is a great value. I started with a Caesar salad and my entrée was whole wheat spaghetti with broccoli, cauliflower, pesto and pine nuts. It was out of this world. I couldn’t help but finish the big portion! I have to get the Margherita pizza next time — it is one of my favorites at Acqua.
