The Heart of Aurelia
Founded in 2019 by Chef Elena Marchetti, Aurelia was born from a simple belief: the Mediterranean diet is not just healthy — it is the purest expression of joy on a plate. Every evening, as the sun dips below the Golden Gate, our kitchen comes alive with the aromas of charcoal-grilled branzino, hand-rolled paccheri, and citrus-kissed olive oil cakes.
Authentic Mediterranean Cuisine
Every dish we serve carries the warmth of tradition and the passion of our kitchen. From hand-rolled pasta to wood-fired specialties, we believe that great food brings people together.
Located in the heart of 47 Harbor View Boulevard, Marina District, CA 94123, we welcome you to experience authentic Mediterranean hospitality in every bite.
