Auròra: New Restaurant To Open At Newstead
A new fine dining restaurant will officially open on December 10th at the Newstead Hotel on Harbour Road in Paget, with the company saying that several Bermudian staff who were made redundant from other restaurants and hotels have been hired to work at Auròra.
“Auròra, which means sunrise, is a sister restaurant to the iconic Blu Bar & Grill and will be offering a new ocean to table concept offering fresh seafood dishes along with meat, vegetarian and vegan options,” the company said.
General Manager of Auròra, Costanzo DiMeglio said, “We are very excited with the opening of Auròra. Just like the name, we feel it is the dawn of a new day and are very optimistic about the future. The main ingredients are amazing views, fresh seafood and excellent service.”
He continued, “We have completely re-designed the restaurant creating a light, airy backdrop in blue hues that complement the stunning views overlooking the harbour.
“Phase 1 is the opening of Auròra on December 10th and in the Spring, we will complete phase 2 which involves an exciting fresh seafood bar next to the pool along with a private meeting and dining space called The Cove.
“We are extremely grateful to the Owners Larry and & Karen Doyle for this wonderful opportunity and look forward to working with the Hotel’s General Manager, Bushara Bushara.”
The company added, “Several Bermudian staff who were made redundant from other restaurants and hotels have been hired to work at Auròra together with seasoned professionals from Blu.
“Costanzo would also like to thank the Bermudian companies and contractors who helped to transform the space over the past couple of months. Led by Michele Smith of OBMI, local firms include DeSilva Construction, Fine Woodworking, P&M Electric, Souza Carpets, Island Glass, Sash & Trim, Aberfeldy Nursery, Bermuda Blueprinting , Signworx, Decisions and Xcaliber Ltd.
“Aurora is open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For reservations call 232-8686 or email ga@aurora.bm. Visit www.aurora.bm for menus and more information.”

Constanzo is an incredibly great guy to work for and in particular over many decades such an inspiration to aspiring Bermudians in the hospitality trade. It’s not by fortuitous chance that he and his partners have managed to succeed year in and year out in this most competitive of industries, even as others have fallen by the wayside. I’d like to respectfully that his group set up a trainee program for Bermudians in his native Naples/Capri with a view to an even greater understanding as to how this is done. Thank You Constanzo.
