"From the outside, this restaurant looked so inviting, warm lighting, and a sleek authentic italian-style decor that made us want to have dinner here. Unfortunately, pizzeria Aurora did not live up to what we had hoped. We were firstly greeted by staff with a cold smile, taking us to our table, handing us a very long and confusing menu that was really hard to understand. The atmosphere, while good, was way too busy for the evident capacity of the restaurant, and it seemed that there was a complete lack of staff for the guests. The whole evening me and my family felt like an inconvenience to the rude and rejecting staff members when asking for a drink, and we felt rushed in our ordering (besides one waitress who was really kind and patient). Once we had ordered, it was quite a relaxing wait, watching the ambience and food coming out, but it only went downhill from there. Me and my mother were given our food, prawns and a risotto, and thought we should wait before eating, as my father and my brother had ordered pizzas. After 10 minutes, we began eating our food, both pizzas still not arrived. The risotto extremely undercooked and bland, and the prawns not cleaned properly (black and brown juice when I tried to shell them, and a gritty texture). The waiter cleared our food after 45 minutes, still no pizza had arrived, we were considering leaving because the service was extremely poor- it was so difficult to raise the issue to a member of staff as they were forever running around and avoiding eye contact with tables. Finally, after an hour, the pizzas arrived, though they were tasty, a meal is meant to be served together- not in two separate courses. It was such a shame, as we only visited Sorrento for a couple days, and this was a ruined evening, we even considered not paying, but didnt want to ruin the night even further by causing an argument- it seemed like many tables were also unhappy, one table of 6 walked out, and another arguing with the managers at the front desk about the bad service. Once we had asked for the bill, it was given to us by an older lady, presumably the owner, who seemed extremely dismissive and stared at us for a good few seconds after handing us the receipt- with not good value for money, costing us $145 overall. We absolutely did not leave a tip, nor did we eat desert which we had planned to, and we most certainly will never be visiting this awful restaurant again- would much rather go to other places just down the road with superb service. Do not dine here, you will regret it!!!"

Very delicious ... But even if you have reservation if you go with your kid they tend to give you the worst table of the restaurant even every table was available.

It was delicious but on the other hand the quantities are small on the cooked dishes For example, the dish of 7 raviolis cost 18€ and the portion of lasagna 12€ (it can be ok)

Pizza well but very close, ordered the 4 sauce pizza and expected some meat, but probably got 8 small pieces in total, pizza came quite quickly once ordered, but had to turn their arm for menus, beer, water.

Pizza was lovely, the older waiter was very kind and polite. There was a mix up with the younger waiters trying to bring our order to a different table and then heading back inside before figuring out it was ours, we found this amusing, but some might not. All in all it was a pleasant experience and we enjoyed the meal greatly

Ci hanno fatto accomodare senza problemi nonostante non avessimo prenotato. Il personale è davvero gentile. La pizza è buona, non fantastica ma fatta per bene e cotta al punto giusto, complice il forno a legna. Se si ha fame ma non si hanno pretese altissime è il posto ideale dove potersi fermare a Sorrento e mangiare in un locale pulito con personale poco invadente e molto professionale.

I came to my reservation on time and the server would have kept less. I said to sit everywhere. Then we were ignored and nobody was waiting for us. Then an older Italian man came and we asked questions about the menu and he shook and went away. The Americans afterward were treated so much better. Finally, a young Indian waiter came by and was thrilled. The food was good. It is busy and you should know when the menu in 4 languages is for tourists.

We came on a Sunday night during the off-season. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of choice to the menu and literally 100's of bottles of wine to choose from. We chose one lasagna and one spaghetti. Both were good-sized portions, and they came so hot from the oven. After reading the other reviews about the service, we had no trouble until it came to getting the bill. We asked a server, but still nothing. We ended up just walking up to the cash and paying as we exited. Good quality food at reasonable prices.

Con vista sulle belle luminarie di Sorrento al punto di congiunzione fra ilcentro storico e la zona moderna del corso Italia. Un dehor confortevole (scoperto) è proprio quello che cercavamo dato che la serata lo consentiva. Il cameriere gentilissimo ci ha fatti accomodare e ci ha assistiti bene durante tutta la cena. Abbiamo ordinato 1 spritz (davvero ben fatto) e un birra artigianale di produzione locale aromatizzata all'arancia, poi una pizza da dividere perché non avevamo grande appetito dato il pranzo abbondante ma consigliamo assolutamente l'ottima pizza come si possono gustare solo in Campania. Leggera e con ingredienti di grande qualità. Abbiamo gradito anche un misto di verdure dal c...
