An italian experience at Aora Cucina

The 4th District region concentrates excellent restaurants, such as Aora Cucina. The restaurant, which is located in an old mansion from the 1940s, preserves details of the architecture of the time. You can see the dishes being produced in the open kitchen and the house’s menu includes classics from Italian cuisine. The restaurant doesn’t have many tables available, so it’s very important that you make a reservation before going. Tip: try the shrimp risotto, made with turmeric and slivers of apricot. It will be love at first bite.
