An exceptional culinary experience with every visit! At Esta Aura, you'll discover an Italian gastronomic treasure that I highly recommend. From the moment you walk in, you're enveloped in a cozy and elegant atmosphere. The service, led by the incredibly attentive and professional Bujar, is impeccable. He's not only friendly but also provided us with the best recommendations for our meals; he's a key figure in this place! Plus, apart from being super handsome 🤭😂, his charm adds to the dining experience. But what truly sets Esta Aura apart is its exquisite food. Every dish is a masterpiece of authentic and fresh flavors. Perfectly al dente pastas with high-quality ingredients, every bite is a journey to Italy. Additionally, their wine selection perfectly complements each meal. In summary, Esta Aura is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary experience not to be missed. I recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and exceptional service!

We stopped by today as this is my first time my parents have visited me in Rockwall. I hadn't been to this restaurant yet but it looked really nice from the outside so I took them here. Everybody had a great meal, my father ordered the salmon and goat cheese omelette, my mother had the crab cake Benedict and I had the lobster ravioli with scallop and crab. We polished everything off with some delicious quality coffee, chocolate mousse cake as well as apple walnut pie. Everything was delicious and the service was very kind as well. Their interior atmosphere is both cozy as well as industrial modern and their prices were extremely reasonable for the quality. You can get a meal here between $15 and $25 each.

Fantastic restaurant. Being Italian,it's nice to see an Italian restaurant serving authentic foods and not the traditional Italian-American dishes everyone calls Italian food. The selections are fabulous. Cooked to perfection and seasoned very well. The service is outstanding. Our server, Brooke, was one of if not the best servers we ever had. Very attentive, one step ahead, and extremely professional. This is a seasoned server. We will ask for her at every visit. Finally, the drinks are pretty well balanced with an above average bartender. It's better than most restaurants in the Rockwall area. We went on a Thursday, and they had a Jazz trio playing, which was a very nice touch. To finish out a great meat, don't forget dessert. It was fantastic. GIOVANNI IS A+++ ALL THE WAY.

Food was Delicious. I really liked the plate with the logo. The lamb was great, we completely devoured the tuna tartar, crab stuffed avocado was really good. Salmon was perfect!!!!!

Mediocre. Torn between 3 or 4 stars. This place had a fairly good reviews in the area so we gave it a try. The inside was quite cute and lighting was very nice tho the service and food just didn’t meet my expectations. We went there at 3:30pm during happy hour, and our entrees came out at 4:30pm. How do I remember? I didn’t want to remember.. it just took forever. Sangria was pretty nice and appetizers were also good (muscle, board, and calamari) so we had good feelings for the entrees which was totally below mediocre. Steak was tasteless, ahi tuna salad was.. ugh i never seen this kind of ahi tuna salad. both presentation and taste was awful. Short rib ragu was weird.. it was made with angel hair and I actually love angel hair pasta so I was excited to try but it was just no. There’s reason why you don’t use angel hair with this recipe normally. Another salad supposed to have goat cheese as a main but it was funny how the main goat cheese was so little as small pieces all over. The best one out of all the entree was the extra side dish of truffle fries we ordered. It means non of main entrees we ordered was good.. it’s kind of sad. Is it worth going? I am not sure.. if I knew, I probably wouldn’t come here. Giving 4 just cuz the drink and appetizers were fairly good otherwise straight 3 stars.

Came in for lunch. Server was a bit slammed but got to us quickly and was good throughout. Food was absolutely amazing and fair priced. Everything from apps to dessert tasted like something I'd pay twice as much for. Tiramisu was wonderful. Highly recommend the Sangria. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Came here for brunch and it was really good and I had a good time. Since moving to the area, it's been hard to find good brunch spots that don't require a drive to Dallas or Plano/Frisco but I enjoyed this restaurant. We had sat at the bar and our bartender was super sweet and had good suggestions. We had started with the Calamari Shrimp Fritto Misto and it was so good. The cauliflower and zucchini were so delicious that we fought over them - wonderfully breaded and well seasoned. We had had a few cocktails that included a Mimosa Flight, an Espresso Martini and a very similar Carajillo, and a Mimosa that I made into a Man-Mosa (they add a shot of vodka). All of the drinks were phenomenal. The Carajillo cocktail was a suggestion from our bartender after the Espresso Martinis and initially we were skeptical about it because we thought the Licor 43 would be an overwhelming taste of almond but it all really paired well together. When it came to the food we shared the Vegetarian Egg White Omelet, the Brioche French Toast, a side of Truffle Fries, and a side of Bacon. Everything tasted great. The French Toast was the star - one of the best French Toast's that I've ever had because it didn't deflate down or wasn't too heavy either - it had the perfect density if that makes sense and the syrup tasted amazing on top. The goat cheese in the omelet tasted great as well but we both really liked the roasted red pepper sauce that was served with the brioche toast - definitely a star next to the French Toast. I can't wait to come back here to try more on their brunch menu but also to come and try their dinner menu. Definitely a restaurant I would like to frequent! *UPDATE* Came back a different day to enjoy brunch with some friends and everything was just as delicious as the first time around. We had the Charcuterie Board (the pears were drunken and amazing), Crab Cake Benedict, Amaretto Pancakes, Truffle Fries, Brioche French Toast - and it all tasted great, no complaints!

Delicious food and a good ambience on the inside and outside. Outside always a great option, esp with nice weather bc it feels private. The menu side is average ranging with options between chicken, steaks, and seafood with surf & tuff combos. Nice appetizers and salad choices and good range of desserts + they do weekly chef specials. The flourless gluten free chocolate cake is a nice touch as well. This is my go-to spot down here in the Harbor District. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50

Y'ALL! This is my absolute FAVORITE restaurant EVER! Giovanni has THE BEST food, awesome service and even more amazing people. I have not had one bad meal in the many, many times I have eaten here. This is a great lunch spot for fun or business, fun/upbeat or romantic dinner spot and they also offer an excellent SUNDAY BRUNCH! Melissa is a rock'n bartender, Jeremy is a fun server with attention to detail, Sean is the SUPER manager and the owner is always there and extremely accommodating to everyone. You're close to the beautiful views at the Rockwall Harbor and I have never had an issue with parking. Valet is also available. Here are just a few pictures of their awesome plates. Highly recommend!
