Aurora Soho New York City

Booked a table for 3 yesterday via Open Table. Arrived and was greeted by the manager and we were promptly seated within five minutes of our reservation despite a full house and people lingering due to inclement weather. Service was impeccable and as expected the wine list is filled with wonderful selections from “Bella Italia”. Our pick Riserva Di Fizzano 2012 a single vineyard classical Chianti. Appetizers were delicious. Try the Arrancine the rice balls a classic, simple but done perfectly with no excess oil dripping and the Frito Misto served with Calamari and shrimp. Pasta all homemade and served al dente in the classical way. My girlfriend ordered the pasta with mushrooms recommend it ! I had the steak served with grilled radicchio and fingerling potato’s Ordered medium rare delivered exactly as requested. While others around us were ordering Brussels sprouts I went for the Bracollini served with a nice sautéed hot Italian pepper Just the right heat for a snowy Friday night. Dessert was the “ special gelato donut and the classic Italian pannacotta fresh and a balance of flavors. Delicious cappuccino ended our meal. Prices very reasonable for NYC and portions are good. No faults with our meal. Loved it and was greeted on the way out by the Manager who thanked us ( and all his guests) for coming and invited us to return , which we shall. A soho gem. Enjoy �
