78$ for 2 small salads and the worst app I've ever had, cold rolled up eggplant slice with cold hard matzarella cheese shreds inside. Thumbs down. Eww. I felt like I got ripped off!!👎

Absolutely incredible place. Love the ambience. The food is high quality, delicious. The veggies for the side dish are fresh and perfectly prepared. I had the eggplant Parmesan, my companion had the spaghetti arriabata, both scrumptious. We then had a creme brûlée and tiramisu for dinner, just luscious. My favorite place to eat in Sausalito.

I want to share about a restaurant in Sausalito where I’ve already become a regular. It’s such a wonderful place — located right on Main Street, just the very first exit after crossing the Golden Gate Bridge (Alexander Exit). The area is quiet, close to the waterfront, but without tourists, crowds, or lines.

The food is authentic homemade Italian, with traditional recipes. We tried the pizza — both prosciutto and seafood. The crust was thin, crispy, and delicious. One pizza is perfect for two. We also had pasta with seafood and shrimp — absolutely delicious.

But the dessert deserves a special mention. We had the tiramisu with espresso, and it was simply unreal! I’ve tried tiramisu in many cafés in Sausalito, but the very best one is right here at Aurora Restaurant.

I also really enjoyed the shrimp with vegetables and mashed potatoes — light, healthy, yet incredibly tasty, full of Italian charm.

Their wine list is impressive, with a wide selection of wines that are carefully paired with the dishes. Very tasty, high-quality, and reasonably priced.

The service is excellent and very friendly. Another bonus is the private parking right under the restaurant, so you never have to search for a spot.

Overall, I highly recommend this place. Cozy atmosphere, amazing food, and I know I’ll keep coming back again and again.

I can only say great things about this place. We came in right before closing without expecting them to serve us and they were so welcoming and great 🤍 The fettuccine alfredo were the best pasta I’ve had in the US so far and everybody else loved their food. The tiramisu was spectacular. Will come back next time I’m in town!

GPS took us through a tour of residential Italy with very narrow streets before arriving at the restaurant. parking was difficult only to realize the restaurant has its own parking around the corner and under the restaurant.
waiter decided to clean all the dirty tables before taking our order; customer service suggest the opposite should happen. we watched him at least 5 minutes as he cleaned.
I started sweating inside with no air conditioning.
3 meals, all undersized, came out to $90 with a 15%tip.
the location is in beautiful and scenic Sausalito and the waiter was nice.

Food was on par with Olive Garden. A little disappointing. I wouldn't recommend it.
