Among the large pool of Italian eateries in Williamsburg, Aurora is a standout for its homemade pastas and meaty dishes that walk the line between traditional and inventive. Begin with the l’indivia (organic endive, candied walnuts, pomegranate, apple and shaved pecorino). Move on to the saffron-flavored tagliatelle with rock shrimp, parsley and chili flakes. Your secondi should be il maiale (slow-roasted Berkshire pork belly with borlotti beans, black kale and caramelized apple). The sweet vanilla and caramel panna cotta is an apt finale. The light and airy space is a fine venue for a night's worth of pasta twirling and wine swilling.
