                                                            We had an amazing experience at Locale! From the moment we walked in, everything was fantastic. Our server, Aaron, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The food was delicious across the board, but I have to give a special shout out to the Caesar salad, it was the best I’ve ever had! We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend

                                                            Aurora Locale is a great spot with friendly service and amazing food. The Amaro salad, osso buco, and pizza are all delicious. Save room for dessert because they have the best selection. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and definitely one of the best places to eat! Highly recommend it.
