Italian Wine Bar & Restaurant · Leeds
Veeno Leeds has been at 5 Wellington Place since 2019, bringing authentic Italian wine bar culture to the heart of the city. We are an Italian wine bar and restaurant in equal measure — the food is taken as seriously as the wine, and the two are designed to work together.
What makes us different from any other Italian restaurant in Leeds is simple: every wine on our menu comes from independent Italian family vineyards across Sicily, Campania, Tuscany, Piedmont, Puglia, and Veneto. Several are exclusive to Veeno in the UK — you will not find them in a supermarket or wine merchant anywhere else in the country.
Whether you are looking for the best wine bar in Leeds for after-work drinks, an Italian restaurant for a birthday dinner, or a private event space for a team celebration, Veeno Leeds is your answer.
From our vineyard to your glass — the way we live it.
The story started with a family vineyard in Marsala, Sicily and a simple belief: that wine tastes better when you know where it comes from and who made it. Now at Wellington Place, our Italian wine bar and restaurant feels like a little corner of Italy in Leeds — built on the same values the wine is built on. Everything honest, everything genuine, nothing staged.

WHERE PEOPLE COME TOGETHER
