Aurora has been part of Williamsburg since 2003. Our space works for an intimate dinner, a company event, a birthday or a wedding, and our events team plans each one around your group.

The spaces

Book the whole restaurant, reserve the patio on its own, or bring a smaller group for a set menu.

The Enclosed Patio

Seats up to 50

Our vined patio is one of the most intimate places in the city to hold an event. It’s open to the air in the warmer months and enclosed when it gets cold, so it works all year.

The patio can be reserved on its own, without a full restaurant buyout.

Weddings

We’re one of Brooklyn’s most popular places for medium-sized weddings.

Weddings of up to 90 guests can hold the ceremony, cocktail hour, seated dinner and dancing all in one place. Ceremonies take place in our covered garden, which is temperature-controlled and open year-round in any weather.

The food

Our cooking draws on Piedmont, the home region of founding chef Riccardo Buitoni.

Bread, pasta, sausages, gelato and desserts are made on the premises. Our cheeses are imported from Italy, and we source locally grown organic produce and hormone and antibiotic free meats and fish wherever we can.

Event menus are planned with our team, from passed hors d’oeuvres for a reception to a seated dinner with several courses.
