Our Vision

Aurora Italiana is where la dolce vita is gently reborn.

Set in a beloved Bridgeland space once known as La Dolce Vita, Aurora breathes new light into its history — honouring the past while embracing a refined, modern glow. Every detail inside tells a story: hand-painted murals inspired by Botticelli, candlelit warmth, soft arches, and textures that echo the romance of Italy.

Here, dining is not rushed.
It is savoured — slowly, beautifully, intentionally.

Our menu is built on the philosophy of simplicity done exceptionally well. Fresh pasta, elegant flavours, and classic Italian dishes are brought together with the kind of warmth that feels personal and deeply nostalgic.

Aurora is a place to celebrate, to reconnect, and to escape into an evening that feels like a trip to Italy — without ever leaving Calgary.
