Authentic Italy! As you walk in the door you will realise that you have stepped into the homely realm of a traditional Italian family. Mama is there, donning her red glasses from the 80's. The sister masters the kitchen, whilst the brother serves the guests and the Don manages the bar.

It is all so familiar, that visitors quickly suspec that it is all a show. Maybe. Maybe not. The fact is, La Belle Aurore has been the meeting point for students, intellectuals and authors for over 15 years.

And if they don't know, then who? They all come because of the great food on offer, but saty because of the art nouveau atmosphere and enjoy a dry martini whilst reading the newspaper. Although the restaurant is relatively unknown in tourist circles, it is well-known amongst locals. Long waiting times are to be expected – but it is well worth it!
