Geno Auriemma’s latest restaurant project has opened in the former Cavey’s space in Manchester, CT featuring modern twists on Italian favorites. “Our family has always loved the historic Cavey’s building and we worked hard to keep much of its character as we planned the layout and design for the new Cafe Aura,” Auriemma said.

UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma owns several restaurants in Connecticut. The restaurant/bar is housed in a two-story, 87-year-old building that Cavey’s put up for sale in the summer of 2018. Extensive renovations were made in recent months to the interior of the restaurant, officials say.
