Est. 2010 · Fine Dining & Wine Bar
Seasonal ingredients, refined technique, and a room built for slow evenings — in the heart of San Francisco.
Since 2010
Aurelia began as a single-room trattoria with four tables and a wood-fired oven. Fifteen years later, our philosophy hasn't changed: source honestly, cook with restraint, and let the ingredient speak first.
Every plate that leaves our kitchen passes through the hands of chefs who trained across Lyon, Tuscany, and San Francisco's own farmers' markets. We change our menu with the seasons — not the calendar — and we still believe the best evenings happen slowly.

Why Aurelia
Every detail — from the linen to the last course — is considered. Here's what guests can expect on every visit.
Produce arrives daily from three family-run farms within sixty miles of our kitchen.
Our culinary team carries experience from Michelin-recognised kitchens across three continents.
Dishes built around technique and season, refined over years rather than trends.
A cellar of 200+ labels and a bar programme built around house-made infusions.
Low light, warm oak, and a room designed to slow the evening down.
An intimate cellar room for parties of 8–24, with tasting menus built to order.

A Look Inside
Guest Reviews
“Aurelia doesn't chase trends — it perfects fundamentals. The lobster bisque alone is worth the reservation wait.”
“We celebrate every anniversary here. The service somehow feels personal every single time.”
“Booked the cellar room for twenty guests — flawless from the welcome cocktail to the last course.”
“The wagyu tasting flight is quietly the best thing on the menu. Ask your server to walk you through it.”
“Warm without trying too hard, elegant without being stiff. Exactly what a special evening should feel like.”
