Great late afternoon lunch at this spot. Really great selection of Italian first and second courses. Beautiful appetizers and incredible pasta. I had an amazing ravioli with spinach and ricotta and a super tasty red sauce. Bread served with the waters. Really nice waiters and a really nice vibe in this place.

We were staying in town and found this hole in the wall italian cuisine. The staff were very professional and down to earth at the same time. Our waiter recommended the lamb chops medium rare, and they were definitely worth it! I ordered the salmon which was cooked perfectly, very moist in a delicious wine and tomato sauce. Veggies were fresh and the bread they served was soft. Only criticism would be to warm the bread before serving. We will definitely be coming back in the future to try out more items on the menu!

It is not in the most beautiful area of town but it is perfect for a night out, the business area is closed and it is quiet and peaceful evening with wonderful staff who Are excited and helpful to service. We were there on a Monday and the place has a gem like quality where it is your own private place and it is quaint, like a secret only you know about. I highly recommend

Had dinner with my daughters here. We really enjoy Italian food so wanted to give Aurora Ristorante a try. It is a small cozy restaurant with a very nice atmosphere. Our food was awesome, we had the angle hair pasta, top item on the pasta menu, and my other daughter had the Magarita pizza. For desert we had the chocolate dish with a walnut crust. Service was very good. Did not take very long to receive our meals and would recommend you give this place a try.

What a treasure! We very much enjoyed our lunch. The Risotto with shrimp and clams, linguine with shrimp and clams and the ribeye with olive oil (med rare) were spectacular. Magdalena was our server and she was very attentive and timely.

What a hidden gem of a restaurant! I found this place while trying to find a new location to enjoy dinner with my wife in Novato. I didn’t expect an amazing ambiance since it is in an industrial district but what we found is that the food, staff and overall experience was amazing! I had the carbonara with a glass of wine and it was REALLY good! My wife and I were so impressed that we decided to stay for desert. We had the Creme Brulee and that didn’t disappoint either.
