Fine Dining!Free Valet Parking!Dress Code!Amazing Ambience!They take reservations ahead of time!Our server was very nice and was paying full attention to us along the night. I had Pollo Parmigiana, my 10yr old had the chicken fingers and my wife had the truffle risotto. The food is quite authentic Italian. I would say quite different from a food chain like Olive Garden. They also brought me a free Tiramisu for my birthday!!

First time, in the Aurora Italiana Restaurant with a group of friends.I ordered a pasta, and in my second bite I found a hair. I called the waitress, and I showed to him what I found in my plate. He immediately took away my plate and told me, the manager will be with me soon to talk about the problem. Well, I waited about 20 minutes, and finally a person shows up at my table. She apologizes for the inconvenience and put a new plate of the same pasta in front of me. She runs away fast, and I have no time to say that I don't want the food anymore.I didn't touch this second plate of the same pasta, due now I can not trust in the kitchen higiene. Years ago, I have same kind of problem in other restaurant, the manager apologized and asked me to choice what I would like to eat after the incident, and do not charged me. Well , I can pay my bill in any restaurant that I go, this is not a problem for me, but in Aurora Italiana Restaurant they show me, they don't deserve my trust.It shows lack of higiene care and they have no consideration for the client opinion. I will not return in this restaurant anymore!

We had an amazing time! The food was delicious. The ambiance beautiful, but a bit loud and the service great! The bread is delicious and we ate it with our Shrimp Diavolo! One of the best versions I've ever had. So full of flavor and the crispy onions are a perfect touch. We both ordered the sea bass special. Sooo flaky and buttery. One of the best pieces of sea bass I've ever eaten. The pasta we ordered was delicious. All their pasta is homemade. It had Parmesan cheese and black pepper on it. Simple yet perfection!! We didn't have room for dessert. Can't wait to eat there again! Next time I want to order the table side Caesar!

This was a lovely experience from top to bottom. Very fun decorations throughout. We were seated after a short wait and service was lovely throughout. Nice warm bread to welcome us, which was delish, and we got the arancini starter, which was also great. I went for the lamb shank for my main, which was fall off the bone tender and had a lovely bed of risotto. We went with the torta capri for dessert, which was a pistachio and ricotta cream sponge cake. Everything was great throughout our meal. Nice cocktail list, good wine list. Great service. Highly recommend!

I really like this relatively new Italian Restaraunt. The service was personable and warm. The food has been great so far. The last time I got the lamb shank and it' was so soft, moist and seasoned very well - not gamy. The vibe is upbeat, dress to impress, with a slight step down (minus DTI). They have a really cool bar area and a nice semi-private dazzling dining area that serves around 20 people. The rest of the Restaraunt is very pretty. They have entertainment on some nights, I will call to find out when.

I brought my fiancé here for his birthday, and we had a great time. From the valet, to the service, to the food, everything here was great. I had pasta which was perfectly spicy, and my fiancé had the steak. On top of everything, the decor was also super cute. We loved our experience here, so we will definitely be back.

Delicious! The restaurant is decorated beautifully, it makes you feel as if you aren't in Michigan lol. Service was pleasant, the bartender was great and made an amazing Mocktail. We named it "Turn The Paige" (since her name was Paige lol) We ordered the Arancini Balls for the Appetizer and I had Cacio E Pepe which was Delicious! Creamy and Cheesy with homemade pasta, I will be back for this for sure

I went for my birthday thinking a wonderful experience would be had, been to sexy steak a handful of times, but Aurora fell short in every category, the food was ok but the service was not up to par, I expected the server to be able to suggest he could not, he was a clerk not a salesperson which a good server is, but the topper when my best friend asked him to sell us dessert he read one item from a small piece of paper then dropped in front of my fiancée then walked away, terrible, I review restaurants but didn't take the time on this venue. Stay away go downtown

I've been to several other restaurants that have been in this building, but I didn't even realize this latest iteration existed until a recent Yelp search. The inside is beautifully decorated, but we opted for an outside table.The outdoor seating area is quite nice - it is shaded (which was helpful on a very warm day) and secluded from the road. This may seem like an odd thing to comment on, but the chairs in the outdoor area were probably the most comfortable outdoor seating I can recall!Our server, Mohammad, was an absolute delight! He was friendly, efficient and had a great sense of humor - he made our experience very enjoyable!We started our meal with the Arancini, which was delicious. This was followed by the tableside Caesar Salad. I haven't seen this anywhere else and it was a fun experience. Abdul was very friendly and the dressing he created was amazing! For my entree, I had the Lobster Ravioli special. The sauce was basically lobster bisque and was out of this world!I look forward to going back and sampling some of the other delicious items on the menu!
