LOCALE AURORA REVIEWS

Came here for dinner, we were seated upstairs. Good menu not too complicated, appetizers were great. Service was good, the server was serving the entire upstairs but you can tell he was a Veteran, he was attentive, made jokes, table maintenance was on point. The lighting was nicely dim, music was good, only feedback is we were seated by the stairs upstairs and on a cold day when the door opens downstairs it was cold, nothing to ruin a fun night though. We will be back! Parking: Inside a plaza, lots of free parking.

We had a fantastic time at Locale Aurora. Our server, Rachel, was very professional and explained everything patiently. The food was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. We were there for our anniversary, and they even offered us a complimentary dessert. Everything was great, and we highly recommend Locale Aurora.

My husband’s birthday lunch. Quite an enjoyable time we had. Nice food and their special cocktails. Nice service and friendly staff. Definitely will go for dinner next time.

JOIA RISTORANTE AURORA REVIEWS

Family style restaurant. The ambiance is cosy and welcoming. Very professional service. Our waiter was friendly happy to advice when we wanted little changes in the pizza’s ingredients. Knowledgeable about wine. The food was delicious.

Established in ‘97 this Aurora restaurant continues to create delicious authentic Italian cuisine. Their hand tossed, wood fired pizza is a must try along with their homemade pasta cooked to a perfect al dente. With a welcoming staff and nice ambiance there’s no doubt I’ll be back.

Great Italian resturant with up to date menu items and skilled staff. Up beat vibe while still feeling classy inside. Food is delicious and the pizza made in a wood fired oven. Prices are also reasonable and location right off of Yonge street. Highly recommend if you haven’t been.

SCADDABUSH ITALIAN KITCHEN & BAR AURORA REVIEWS

The service was fantastic! Drinks were good, priced standard for the area but felt like it was a decent size. Food was good, the Bomba was a little on the smaller side in my opinion but the tomato jelly was unexpectedly great! I got the butternut squash entree and it was sweet but delicious. If I didn't get appetizers, I would probably still be hungry with the portion. I know that's typical now in most restaurants to not give as much pasta, but that's usually why I don't venture to Italian as much.

Louisa provided my wife and I with great service on patio for a night out without kids. She checked in on us frequently to make sure everything was ok and would be happy to have her as a server again.

A lovely night! Matt was a great waiter. He was very patient and explained the menu and meals to us. Mushrooms in the bolognese were very delicious. Thanks Matt!.
