Aurora Light is located in Sorrento City Center. This restaurant specializes in fine Italian dining. They are famous for their delicious pizzas. The pizzas are a generous portion for sharing. The menu options include a variety of pastas to meat, fish and chicken dishes. There is an extensive wine list and fine Italian beers; I recommend the Moretti. My cousin enjoyed the spaghetti with clams, the portion size was average and the clams are very small. I ate the grilled chicken (one serving for 10 euros) and a side of roasted potatoes. I enjoyed the meal but not very filling. All meat dishes are served alone thus sides are a la carte. It's best to come with a large party where you can order a pizza or two for appetizers and share different entrees. Like all restaurants there is a cover charge for dining. The ambience is nice and there is no one rushing you to leave. Aurora Light also has a separate pizzeria. read more

Service is absolutely terrible. There's like one waiter, and he was super grumpy. Maybe he hates tourists, as today's lunch service are all tourists from the various groups off the cruise boats. You CANNOT share pizzas. They demand everyone buy their own or they won't make it. Only reason we are here was bc of the tourist group. Go somewhere else! There's a bunch of restaurants around this area to choose from. Maybe they aren't jerks, or maybe it's an Italian thing. Who knows. read more

Fantastic pizza. Menu is available in at least four languages. Efficient service, although with classic Italian reticence. Cheese, toppings, sauce, and dough were all amazing. Just the right balance of savory and salty. Immense wine list! All by the bottle. We tried the Margherita, Margherita with mushrooms, and the Aurora 2. All were great. read more

I loved the experience here After some debating of where to have dinner, I was glad we decided to come here. I and 4 other girls came for a late dinner and there was no wait. We went with the following its description: Prosciutto, Melon and Mozzarella starter- Everything tasted delicious. The melon was very sweet and the mozzarella was super soft here. It was an excellent starter. Tuna Tartare- It was beautifully presented with strawberries. It was very pretty but a dish not worth mentioning. This dish can be skipped. Flori Di Zucca Ripleni- This is zucchini stuffed with ricotta cheese thats been lightly fried. It was so good we had to make another order. I like that it wasn't heavily fried and it was presented beautifully. Probably the best thing I had in Sorrento. Lobster spaghetti- We got a whole lobster cut in half still with shell in our light red sauce spaghetti. This is a must if you love lobster and pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the lobster was amazing. The sauce was also very good. The portion was very large as well. Stuffed Eggplant- This was stuffed with meat and drenched with sauce. It was very flavorful. Dessert of the Day- On the day we came it was a chocolate cake topped with some whip cream and berries, and a tart sauce. It was very delightful. We also ended the night with some limoncellos. I think they gave us each a double shot of it because it was more than enough. The pricing here is very good and reasonable. The quality of food is all fresh and made perfectly with beautifully plated. The service was more than perfect. The elder gentleman waiting on us was very respectful and made sure us ladies were well taken care of. He was also very funny. We got a little loud since there was alcohol involved but the staff was very nice and even joked with us. The inside is small but most of seating is outside. It's in the central part of town and you can people watch as you eat. Seating was comfortable and overall it was a wonderful experience and I would love to come back. read more

I was originally going to give this place 4 stars because we were given a small table. Then our waiter Giuseppe found out my name was Joe and he gave us chilled limoncella. Eccezionale (outstanding)! We started off w/ the pizza in the pic. It was delicious. The crust had ricotta inside (and I thought Pizza Hut started that $hit!-LMFAO). For our entrees we had seafood papardelle (don't pronounce the "e" as I was told) and grilled shrimp. Sorprendente (amazing!). The shrimp were sweet and w/ the heads on. Being Asian and having grown up in Hawaii, like my sig says, I will eat anything even if its moving. The heads were delizioso! The papardelle had some langosta w/ claws that were great too. I love seafood! The place was cool even though a couple of atypical "stupid" (ignorant) Americans were sitting behind us. First of all, they asked for ghiacco (ice) w/ their wine and then they wanted thousand island for their salads. WTF! Did they think they were at Dennys!-LOL. They didn't even learn a few Italian phrases. I know a little Italian (I am fluent in Spanish and Hawaiian, but I barely speak English-LMAO), but least I tried. These two are probably the butt of jokes for Italian comedians! read more

Aurora Light - #4 of 50 types of pizza. Prosciutto, mushrooms, ricotto and Parmigianno regianno cheese - Napoletana Near Me - Sorrento, NA

Tourist trap. Avoid! Over priced. The food was mediocre at best. Americans beware they will pressure you for a tip. It's not expected in Italy (don't exceed a max of 10%). read more

We were helped by a waiter who appeared to hate us and it only got worse as the evening went on. We ordered an espresso, sparkling water, and two glasses of wine. We watched this waiter fling a chair out from under a table to let another lady sit down in a table near us. Then when we asked for our bill from who appeared to be the owner/manager, our lovely waiter came over asking if we were really done. I said yes and he mumbled how this was a restaurant, I guess to show his disapproval that we didn't order food. He had no name tag but based on all of this we're pretty sure we had the honor and privilege of being served by the infamous Antonio (see other 1 star reviews) read more

This place is the truth. Most of this town is a tourist trap so first of all ask yourself why you came here , and second eat here. Period. Family owned, good wine, good pizza, good dessert. read more

Glad we chose this for our lunch in Sorrento during a day trip. It faces the piazza so it's great for people-watching, and the food is delicious and fairly reasonable price wise. I had the rabbit and also tried the pumpkin soup, ceviche with rocket salad, BLT panino and veal with grilled veggies. My rabbit was prepared in lemon sauce, which I love, and was very juicy. It was served with a tasty purple grain (can't recall the name right now) and mixed salad. I also liked the ceviche a lot, and the pumpkin soup was creamy and, well, pumpkin-y. The BLT was good but pretty basic - more or less like you'd get in the US. I didn't think the veal was good - it seemed dry. All in all a great meal, though! read more

Two words: tourist trap. When your wife tells you she wants to be "touristy" for the night, put your foot down and eat somewhere more authentic. Wine selection is impressive, staff were absolutely welcoming and helpful, but the food was so-so. The pesto was fantastic though. read more

Great food in Sorrento!!! We had the Lobster pasta and some pizza. The lobster was very fresh and was a nice treat for a rainy day. The pizza we ordered was a fantastic surprise because there was cheese oozing out of the crust! We went during off-season, and a lot of restaurants were closed. I'm glad this one was open! Seemed to be on the pricier side, but still wasn't bad. read more

We came here on a Saturday night the first night we came into Sorrento. The restaurant has been open for 50 years and there is a good reason! There are so many varieties of pizza to choose from. My fiance and I split a bottle of wine the server recommended that was local to the area as well as a pizza that had proscutto, roasted peppers and tomatoes. It was delicious! We also had a caprese salad that was so fresh. Overall great experience read more

Meaghan K. and I's last day in Sorrento was marred by severe thunderstorms. Our plans to make it over to Positano were canceled and we were now on a mission to find some food for our last lunch in Italy. After two weeks of eating non stop pasta, pizza, and bread, we thought it might be time for us to slow it down a bit. We had passed by Aurora Light earlier in our trip and saw that it had a bunch of salads and healthy food. We thought this would be a perfect occasion to try the healthier side of Italy. We arrived for lunch during one of the thunderstorms and were seated outside under the awning. For my meal I got the spicy chickpea and spinach salad which was pretty good. The chickpeas were not as spicy as I would hope. It was after I had eaten the salad that I felt that tinge of spice in my mouth. Meaghan K. got the stuffed peppers which she seemed to enjoy. Overall, the reason I liked Aurora Light as much as I did was that it was a nice change of pace. After eating so many carbs for two weeks, it was great to actually eat a nice salad. read more

Great pizza as expected in Italy. Nice drinks - we had both wine and beer for lunch. My father had the Scottish salmon and loved it. We also got two pizzas and two calzones. All were good but after being in Italy for 2 weeks felt normal. Very nice outdoor patio with views of the roundabout. read more

First night in Sorrento. Excellent location. Fantastic service. Pumpkin soup was delicious!

We had a short time to shop and grab lunch when our tour stopped in town before heading to Pompeii. We ordered some pizzas for the kids which came out quickly and were very good. The prosciutto and melon was incredible. The melon was so sweet and fresh is was like dessert. I also had pasta carbonara which was quite good and used mushrooms instead of peas. The staff made an excellent effort to get us served and on our way to meet our bus on time. Our only regret was not having time to sit out and enjoy more of a leisurely pace on patio. read more

My daughter and I were tired and very hungry after just having arrived in Sorrento. The Aurora Light was in the right place at the right time. It is right in the main square, with lots of outdoor seating. The menu was typical Italian with a few seafood dishes thrown in. My daughter had the salmon and I had the Angler fish. Both were delicious. The wine was good, the desserts were good. The waitstaff were attentive and friendly and spoke enough English. We had a lovely dinner and a delightful evening! read more

Don't come to dinner at this restaurant if you are not Italian. The waitress keep you are waiting for food about an hour , on the other hand , they are serving and bringing food just in 15 mins and the food wasn't good. read more

Excellent food with attentive waiter! Second floor seating overlooking the square in Sorrento. Pea soup was excellent as well as eggplant parmigiana through the chocolate mouse desert! If you go to Sorrento, don't miss this gem! read more

If I could give a 0 rating, I would. Not going to waste my time writing a long review. Just know this place is absolute PISS and should be avoided at all costs. Our waiter, Antonio, was a complete jerk and berated my husband and I simply because we were "American". read more

Had lunch here today.... A nice spinach and grapefruit salad accompanied by a stuffed red pepper.... Yum! Would highly recommend

I had a light dinner here of the avocado and shrimp salad and a glass of Prosecco. My server was charming and attentive. And the salad was very fresh. read more

Had lunch at Aurora Light one rainy day in Sorrento last week. I must say I had low expectations since it was in the main piazza but the menu looked decent and so did the prices. We found a table outside that was nice and allowed for people watching. I had the stuffed peppers that were just incredible. A red and yellow pepper peeled and filled with veggies, cheese and breadcrumbs and cooked to the perfect point where they weren't a mushy mess but instead still a little crispy. The peppers were served on top of this incredible bechamel sauce that kicked the simple dish up the notch. My friend had a spicy chickpea and spinach salad that she loved as well. I can't give this place five stars though because the service was quite strange. There was really only one server and then someone who was working behind the bar inside making coffees who would occasionally helping. As it got busier it seemed another man was helping seat tables but not take their orders or anything. The server was nice but incredibly rushed. What I found strange was that they were turning away customers, first a group of people who wanted to sit for coffees, the waiter said tables were for eating lunch only (not sure if this is an Italian thing I don't know about or just something particular to this restaurant) then there was a couple with a small child in a stroller which the waiter told them to go to the restaurant next door to eat even though there was tables open. It all seemed very confusing to me and I'm sure with the strange service they may have lost some customers and maybe made a few not want to return for another visit. If I ever find myself in Sorrento again (and I hope I do) I would go to Aurora Light again and hope the service was a little better but hope to find the food the same. read more

Food was not that great and services was worse. Waiters seemed more interested in singing than in serving customers. Go across the square and try Faundo Bar. Bad karma at Aurora Light. read more

Another great find in Sorrento right on the main plaza. The waiters were funny and nice, singing aloud with the street musicians. A real treat for visitors. We ordered the veggie lasagna and the cannelloni, both had the best melted cheese in the world and the tomato sauce on the cannelloni was terrific. Carry a few Euro coins in your pocket in case the street musicians swing through the restaurant so you can tip them for the song. read more

Awesome concept (emphasizing light fare...although not sure how light it really is) and good food. We sat outside on an overcast day and just enjoyed the weather and people watching. I had the veggie lasagna and it was perfect. read more

This place was ok... The location is fantastic but the food is just alright. Of course we ate here through a cruise ship excursion so it's difficult to say whether we got a good deal, great deal, or a ripoff. I would certainly come back here, buy a bottle of wine, and sit and watch people pass by. As a side note, the food was good but the portions were (I think intentionally) quite small. read more

A must is the homemade pappardelle pasta. My kids had 2 servings each of that and the ravioli. Price is not terrible considering 4 people ate 6 meals it cost 95€. Adults also had salad. Very good would come back if I visited again!! read more

Good simple food for lunch, attentive waiter, very central with nice outside area for sunny days, house prosecco was also pretty good!

Quick, reasonably priced lunch when we first arrived in Sorrento - exactly what you would expect / want from a solid option in a touristy area. Great pizza and pasta options, lots of half bottle wine options. Food tasted delicious and very quick service even though it was packed with people trying to stay out of the rain. Salad a bit disappointing. Very friendly wait staff. read more

Wonderful dinner! My husband and I traveled to Sorrento for the first time and saw this restaurant with no one in the outdoor tables even though the other nearby restaurants were packed. We decided to try it out and had the most amazing balcony table with view of the whole square and the food was absolutely delicious. He had lobster with fettuccini and I had the corn tagliatelle with eggplant. We order the house white wine (half bottle) and two desserts- creme brûlée and the strawberry tart. Wow. Everything was so good. The food was piping hot and the dessert was perfection. Couldn't have been a more perfect night. I'm so glad that we gave it a try even though it didn't look crowded. Do the same and you won't be disappointed! read more

Terrible service. My wife and I sat down for a glass of wine and was informed this was a restaurant and the waiter Antonio immediately cleared everything off the table except for out bottle of wine and two glasses. I have never experienced such rude service at any restaurant anywhere. Looking at reviews on other websites where the management replied, it seems typical for this restaurant. read more

Fantastic meal and wonderful device! Definitely a highlight of our time in Sorrento!
