Perché Aurelia
Why guests choose us
Three things we refuse to compromise on — and the reason people call Aurelia the most authentic Italian table in Medellín.
Fatto a Mano
Pasta made fresh, every morning
Flour, eggs, patience. Our pasta is rolled and cut by hand daily and the dough rests 48 hours before it ever meets the flame.
Forno a Legna
A wood-fired oven from Naples
Built by Neapolitan masters and fired to 450°C, it gives our pizza the blistered, airy crust you'll only find in Italy.
Cantina Italiana
120+ Italian labels, one sommelier
From Barolo to Brunello, our cellar is curated to pair beautifully — and our sommelier will find the right bottle for your table.
Il Nostro Chef
Meet Chef Marco Bianchi
Born in Bologna and trained across the trattorias of Emilia-Romagna, Marco came to Medellín with one belief: that great Italian food is simple food, made with obsessive care.
For fifteen years he has cooked the recipes his grandmother taught him — nothing hidden behind heavy sauces, everything resting on the quality of what's on the plate.
"La semplicità è la vera eleganza."

Best pizza in the city, hands down. The crust is perfect and the wine list is genuinely special. We keep coming back.

We celebrated our anniversary here. Impeccable atmosphere, candlelight, and a meal we still talk about. Simply romantic.

Uno Sguardo
A look inside Aurelia
Warm light, a bustling open kitchen and plates that look as good as they taste.
La Nostra Storia
A little corner of Italy in Provenza
Aurelia began in 2011 with twelve tables, a wood-fired oven and a family recipe book. Fifteen years later we're still in the same corner of El Poblado — a place where Italian tradition meets Medellín's warmth.
We've grown, but the promise hasn't changed: real ingredients, real recipes, and a table where you're never rushed.
Prenota un Tavolo
Your table in Italy awaits.
Whether it's date night, a family Sunday or a business dinner — we'll have a candle lit and a bottle ready. Reserve in seconds.
Dal 2011
From a family recipe book to Medellín's table
Aurelia started as a promise between a chef and his grandmother: that her recipes would never be forgotten. In 2011 that promise opened its doors in Provenza with twelve tables and a single wood-fired oven.
Word travelled fast. Families came for Sunday lunch, couples for anniversaries, travellers for a taste of home. We added a cellar, a private room and a terrace — but never a shortcut.
Today Aurelia is one of the most loved Italian restaurants in the city, and still run like the small family trattoria it has always been.
La Missione
Our mission
To serve genuinely authentic Italian cuisine — no compromises, no fusion for the sake of it — in a room that feels like being welcomed into an Italian home.
La Visione
Our vision
To be the reason people in Medellín don't need to fly to Italy for a proper plate of pasta — and the table they choose for the moments that matter.
I Nostri Valori
What makes us different
Made fresh, never held
Pasta, bread, sauces and desserts are made the same day they're served. If it can be made by hand, it is.
Imported where it matters
San Marzano tomatoes, Parmigiano-Reggiano, buffalo mozzarella and 00 flour — sourced from Italy, prepared in Medellín.
Hospitality, the Italian way
No rushing, no clock-watching. A meal at Aurelia is meant to be lingered over, bottle open, conversation flowing.
Materie Prime
Great food starts before the kitchen
We buy small and often — produce from local markets, cheese and flour from Italy, seafood delivered fresh. Nothing sits, nothing is frozen to save a peso.
It's slower and it costs more. It's also the difference between Italian food and food that's merely Italian-ish.
