Veeno Leeds in Leeds - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Today we did the trip to Sicily wine tasting as a late birthday treat. Ben and nico were extremely warm and knowledgeable, leading to an absolutely brilliant lunchtime experience for us both. Some absolutely fantastic wines to taste alongside beautifully presented and tasty food. Thank you!

Grazie mille Andreea! One of the best service and hospitality attitude. Me and my friend just jumped in the first restaurant to have a simple lunch, but instead we laughed so much, with good jokes and amazing atmosphere, we easily passed into a dinner)))) The rose home wine was very light and tasty. We had lasagna and Parmigiana, which were also very good. We also recommend ice cream and of course limoncello, thank you for unfortunately experience in Leeds!

I think I'll let my photos do the talking for this review. We come in here a few weeks ago and totally loved this. We had one of the shared boards (see the pics) and it was amazing! The staff and the service were fantastic and the atmosphere was nice, but quiet as we went early. I definitely recommend it.

Our main concern was the poor service. There was only 1 other table occupied who already had their food, we gave our order, ordered 2 cocktails and a bottle of wine, the kids ordered drinks separate to their children’s menu. The waitress barely spoke, and didn’t smile. Our cocktails arrived and our starters, we finished those, and it took longer than it should, for her to come back to take our empty plate and glasses. Eventually she came with our main courses, the adults food came before the kids. I am a firm believer that when children are eating their meal should come before ours, even if just by a couple of minutes. We then asked if we could have the wine we ordered, she replied “oh you want it now?” Well why wouldn’t we want the wine we ordered? We shouldn’t have needed to ask for it, it should have been offered when our cocktails were taken away. We had finished our cocktails 20 minutes earlier. We also had to ask for the drinks that came with the kids meals. The bill then came with automatic service charge!

Darcy is wonderful! Explained everything with great detail, delicious food and a great experience. This wand a present for our mums birthday. Great experience ❤️

Booked a table for 8, three weeks in advance. Turn up on time, waited 15 minutes and had to ask if we could order. Could only order drinks as chef hadn’t told wait staff what wasn’t available (they’d only just opened). Finally ordered food after 30 minutes of being there, 3x ragu pasta and 5x panini. Another couple of people came in, ordered and were severed their food before us. 55 minutes after arriving and upon asking we were told it’d be no more than 5 minutes. One person had to leave to go back to the office and took their food in a box. 8 minutes later food started arriving. Not mine though. Had to be asked what I ordered (ragu). I gave them 5 more minutes before telling them o take my food and drink off the bill and leaving back for the office. Apparently the ragu was good but I will never know because I won’t be going back. The paninis, accompanied by fries, looked disappointing when I was there. Confirmed this when everyone got back to the office. Several were missing cheese and the fries were somehow under and they over cooked at the same time. The (ridiculous) service charge was removed from the bill I’m told. Should have been a great discount if you ask me. You can’t operate a restaurant in an area surrounded offices and provide such shoddy service in such a slow fashion.

I just want to say a massive thanks to Nico and the Veeno team for hosting my 30th birthday (private hire). I couldn’t recommend this venue more if I could try, it is on the quieter side of town also, so no random people trying to walk in, so I didn’t have to worry about that. There was also benches outside for my guests and had plenty of compliments about the food and the espresso martinis especially. I would communicate with head office and they would update their system which would filter through to the restaurant, therefore the pre order of food was very easy and they also made me a draft food order for the amount of guests that were coming. Honestly 10/10 thanks again.

Niko was brilliant. Very knowledgeable and very friendly

Niko very knowledgeable and entertaining would definitely recommend a visit and will be coming again.

The best place for any event - we have held multiple events at Veeno and each one has been exceptional! The team are delightful and always ready to help! Myself and my colleagues always have an amazing time and we are excited to get another booked in!

Great pizza and wine Veeno is so welcoming, perfect spot for after work drinks, great pizza and the best wine, thanks Lucia for looking after us, you're amazing! Date of visit: June 2024

Delicious food, amazing selection of drinks. The best part of our experience was Lucia, she’s kind, personable and funny! She has immaculate knowledge of the food and drinks and she keeps us coming back for more.

Attended a civil partnership reception at the venue. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Great environment and atmosphere. Only negative was the way the food items appeared...too 'bitty' . Guests didn't know what to expect and when. This may be the result of them not usually catering for such events. It wasn't clear which drinks were on a 'tab' payment.

My partner and I chose Veeno Leeds as our party venue to celebrate our civil partnership, which we booked for private hire with our 100 guests. We absolutely loved the relaxed atmosphere and appreciated Nico the Manager looking after us throughout the whole process. Thank you to all the team for looking after us! The food, the wine, the space for live music and the environment were superb! Pre-ordering our food and drink was straightforward and everybody made us feel very special. We would definitely recommend hiring Veeno Leeds for a party and can’t thank the team enough 🥂💯🪩

Great venue and friendly staff. The wine tasting experience was brilliant

Absolutely great place to vist, highly recommend going 😊

Ok, I’m Italian but I’ve been living in Leeds for 15 years or so. Tonight the staff at Veeno was absolutely amazing. The wine they suggested is probably the best I’ve had in decades and the food pairing was simply perfect. I came mainly for the location to enjoy the outdoor area in the midst of this heat wave, but I left knowing this is simply one of the top three Italian eateries in Leeds!

Had a great time tonight, Andrea helped us choose a great white wine and some great food boards too.

Had a voucher for the Italian wine tasting experience and it was disappointing!! The red wine was the best thing really and the lovely waitress. We waited far longer than expected for a small platter of two meats a bit of cubed parmigiana and some bread. I could make that at home from meat and cheeses bought from any supermarket.

Took my wife here for her birthday and it was absolutely amazing! Food and the service was impeccable, Andrea made sure our needs were tended to and even though they didn’t need to, they came out with a small birthday cake for her which was an amazing touch. Would definitely come here again

Went for post-work drinks and food. Everything was great- got some wine recommended which was lovely (and very reasonable).

Absolutely loved it. Went for the wine tasting with 5 reds. The wines were great as were their accompaniments. The waiter was friendly too !

No choice for ciders whatsoever, tap is watered down, more expensive than pubs around it. Just go to any pub around it.

I don't like high seats. Food was good, but not delicious.

We just did the Taste of Sicily experience & honestly had the best time! The food & wine were incredible but the experience was completely made by Nico. He was honestly incredible & taught us so much about the wines - I can’t compliment him enough ✨ PS they have the best tiramisu you will ever eat!

Had a lovely time at Veeno in Leeds last Saturday! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making us feel right at home. A big shoutout to Andrea, our server, who was incredibly kind and attentive. He made fantastic food and wine recommendations, ensuring our evening was enjoyable. The food was delicious, with each dish bringing a taste of Italy right to our table. It was clear that they prioritize quality and authenticity in their cuisine. All in all, Veeno offered us a wonderful dining experience, thanks to the great service and delicious food. Big thanks to Andrea and the team at Veeno! Can’t wait to visit again.

Myself and my Fiancé came for a Sicilian wine tasting experience and we would highly recommend this to anyone who loves a good wine. Nico was a great host and explained the wines in detail, he made the experience even more special. We will be back for certain!

10/10 food and service here, Andrea was fantastic the entire time. Will recommend 100%.

Best trip to sicily experience! Nico was amazing, service was excellent. Can't fault the food or wine. Highly recommend 🥰 we have already planned to come back every month now on for date night! Xx

Visited for the first time around 2 years ago, and has always been my go to when I'm in Leeds ever since! My cousin loves it so much we went there just for thee desserts from another restaurant (the desserts are incredible, I'm patiently waiting for when the sicilian lemon cake comes back, it was the best dessert I'd ever eaten anywhere and 2 years on I still dream of it). The staff are lovely and charismatic, you can have a good chat and laugh with them - especially Andrea, he's an absolute sweetheart and made the experience absolutely lovely, it was such a wonderful environment. My only room for complaint is that I wish they had a Veeno in the city where I do university! Chow!

Fabulous afternoon doing the Taste of Sicily. Service from Nico and Constance was exceptional. Loved every minute and booking again. Description of wines was brilliant and food complimented each wine perfectly.

Amazing time!! Andrea was fabulous and very knowledgeable!! Will be back!!

The service from the staff was great, they were polite and attentive. I had a Sauvignon which was a nice wine and good value.

Came for a quick drink. Guinness is on the surger.

We had the wine experience and Andrea was great. Explained everything

The wine tasting was amazing, and the service was perfect too. However, the carbonara pasta was horrible. I have never eaten such a bad dish in my entire life. Based on my experience, I would go there again, but only for the wine tasting and drinking not for the food.

Food was absolutely amazing and Andrea was the perfect host…..first visit and we will definitely return

Me and my boyfriend came here for the Sicilian wine tasting experience and it was amazing! Nico and his team were really lovely and Nico was great at explaining each wine and which food to pair with. The surprise wine at the end blew us both away and felt like we were in heaven! We would highly recommend this experience and we will definitely come again!

Amazing service and food as usual.

Food and staff were nice but our mains were a bit cold when they came out and service took a while. We were seated for around 40 mins before our first round of drinks came and we constantly had to keep asking about food/drinks even though the place wasn’t that busy. Overall we stayed 3 hours there but not by choice

We had the grande board deal with a bottle of wine, the place was a bit quiet for a Saturday night which worried us slightly when we first arrived but I'm so glad we persevered. The food was amazing the staff were fantastic ( Andrea was great) and the whole experience was second to none. Would recommend!

Received a gift voucher to this place for a 4 glass wine pairing with meats and cheese. Arrived to see our table wasn't ready despite it being quiet. Sat down and waited 10 mins before being told our food would be 15 mins because the meat is sliced "freshly" for us. 45 mins later a very basic charcuterie board and 4 red wines arrived. Asked for water 3 times before we got any. Poor customer service throughout including when I went pay at the end. Was ignored by 3 of the 4 staff present. Seats were not clean, old wine stains on the wall. Really poor service. If we hadn't had our gift voucher, the whole thing would have cost £80, including a 12.5% service charge they included, despite poor service. Avoid.

We’ve had a great time here. Andrea was amazing and very helpful!

I never usually leave reviews but I feel like this warranted one. This is my second time visiting Veeno, I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt however both times I had a very similar experience. The restaurant is always near empty at lunchtime, however the food took 45 mins to an hour to come out both times! Both times I’ve had to rush my food to get back to work after lunch because it’s taken an age to come out and both times the waitress had to come over and apologise. Once it did come out, the food wasn’t that great either. The Carbonara lacked sauce and seasoning and just wasn’t tasty. The first time she knocked off our drinks for the inconvenience (not enough if I’m honest) but this time nothing even though the food took forever. The service is just unacceptable.

Awesome food and wine. Had the wine and nibbles for two. Big Anti pasti board, loads of bread, food and great wine. Very very friendly staff, fast service and chatty. Thank you very much! A++

We tried Veeno latest night for a more informal wine tasting experience ("wine flights" they are called). Absolutely fabulous experience from start to finish - the three tasting wines we got came with this poster explaining how each wine was made, why it tasted how it tasted etc., which our host elaborated on, answering a fair few questions - we all commented it was much more than we expected for what we paid. The staff and service was impeccable. Definitely will be going back for a formal wine tasting event in the future.

We came here for a hen do finale, it was such a good evening and Nico looked after our party so well! ♥️ Also catering for a pregnant member of our hendo, food and drink!

Decent place to get some pasta, we had a lil work lunch here, convenient location

Had a fantastic private works party last night, food drinks and staff were amazing 🥳

We came here for a family meal large group 14 of us, good food at great value. Waitress Connie provided fantastic service.

Food was amazing. Wine fantastic. Host was knowledgeable about wine and food. Extra praise for Cristiano who had excellent knowledge about the wines and desserts as well as the balsamic vinegar which was lovely. Absolute gentleman.

Really high quality wine and food in this place and fantastic service from constance and a very passionate manager, recommend to anyone!

Nico and his team were so welcoming and accommodating. Nico’s knowledge on the wine and food pairings and wine in general were incredible and we learnt so much. It was such a fantastic experience from start to finish. Can’t wait to take my dad in January as a Christmas present! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening and accommodating the fact I don’t drink red wine!

Our first time here, and Gigie was an incredible host and talked us though all the wines and pairings. 10/10 experience and incredibly priced

Brilliant, we had a great time. We had the Sicily, the difference in taste when you add the recommended food with the wine lol.

Lovely food and wine. Grande board is superb. Servers lovely.

Service slow just had drinks didn't eat

Great night out, wine, meats and cheese! Can't argue with that, constance gave great service. Will definitely return.

Reserved a space for after work drinks/food and could not have been treated. Enter by our hosts and server JiJi. She made sure that everyone’s glass was topped up. We knew what drinks were available. Helped me make a selection of food for the table. And generally kept us happy throughout the whole evening (we were there for 4 hours). Atmosphere was great. Would definitely recommend for a team get together! Thank you JiJi and team!

Great wine tasting, Lucia was amazing, thank you. Will definitely come back

Mary was amazing!!! A really great experience would definitely recommend to anyone.

Can’t comment on food as never arrived. Waited 45 mins for 4 dishes in a near enough empty restaurant, staff were lacklustre and didn’t care. Piss poor from start to finish.

Amazing food here. Lovely staff and great atmosphere.

Fantastic place. The wine and cheese/meat board experience is wonderful — exceptional flavours and incredible value for money at £25 per person. Had a wonderful time, and being served by Mary made it better. Great knowledge and a lovely personality. Well recommended.

Great experience, friendly people especially cristiano 💐

Great Wine tasting experience... Nice snack pairings Knowledgeable staff. Afternoon tea looked good too....

I am giving 3 stars as the beginning of our Sicily wine tasting experience was 1 star but by the end, the manager (Kieran) went above and beyond made the experience 5 star. However, it should not take someone complaining to ensure that the experience is enjoyable. Veeno - please make sure all staff are trained in wines - if they are part of the wine tasting experience then they need to know about wine! Also, the experience shouldn’t take 2 hours just because the service is slow. We sat there for ages without any wine! The concept is great but please make sure the experience is delivered better and more consistently - people are paying a lot of money.

Made a visit to Veeno Leeds 1 st August 2023 , we are always looking for value for money in today’s climate . I purchased 3 Virgin Experience Days for 6 people and looked forward to our day out . Unfortunately Veeno must do better , Tuesday no one in so no pressure , the service was super slow , the food was average , after our tasting I went to the bar ordered some more drinks the Aperol came where was the beer we ordered !!! still sat at the bar , 5 minutes later I collected it myself . Staff need more training and concentrating on customers , instead of going outside with mobile phones , eating and smoking . I do not like writing negative reviews but Veeno really needs to up their game . £ 70:00 for 2 people , no way. The Wine was good Sorry 1 disappointed customer from Wakefield .

As part of my hen do we did the Trip to Sicily wine tasting experience at Veeno in Leeds. This was just such a lovely experience. The food and wine were delicious! Great atmosphere in the place. A big shout out to Kieran who looked after us for the night. He took his time and didn't rush us through the experience, was very attentive and just a great personality. You have an amazing member of staff there Veeno! We stayed for hours and it really set the bar for the rest of our weekend. We had a such a great night!

Unfortunately the lack of service let the place down. Food was excellent.

Awesome experience staff are amazing and friendly

What an amazing experience. Megan was brilliant, the food and wine were gorgeous and complemented each other We will definitely be back and great value for money

Card only lovely place but needs to accept cash too !!!

Kieran was fantastic really attentive and brought us lots of COLD wine

Lovely wine and tapas . Excellent service by Keiran

Kearon was a gem he made my birthday. Would dwffo Recommend having him as your waiter

Drinks are good, food is tasty but the Italian afternoon tea is not worth £25 each. The photo attached is an afternoon tea that would have cost £50, thankfully I had been gifted a voucher as a birthday present. You do get tea or coffee as well but seriously not enough food for the price. (There were 4 sandwiches in total - not 2 as pictured just to be honest for the review)

Was a lovely experience. Mary was very knowledgeable. We would come again x x

Absolutely loved the Taste of Sicily wine tasting experience, the wine was gorgeous and the food as delicious. The experience was really made by our lovely server Lucia who made our night really special by explaining about all the wines in detail and answering our questions. We had such a special night celebrating our anniversary, thank you so much! Highly recommend this experience for something a little different but so enjoyable.

Booked Veeno for a lunch celebration for my birthday! Was seated straight away, received a complimentary glass of fizz (as it was my birthday) and the food was delish!! Thanks so much for looking after us Kearon!

Fantastic service Kearon was very polite and friendly great experience definitely coming back

Great service - Kearon was lovely!

Great experience at veenos as always

Excellent as always. One of our favourite places to go to in Leeds. Thanks Mary for great service.

Lovely lunchtime spent at Veeno! Megan was super friendly and attentive

Great choice of very nice wines and lovely pizza. Megan, Lucia and Mary looked after us very well! Recommended for a great night.

Love this place! Great food, drinks, and vibes.

Came in for a trip to Sicily with a friend and couldn’t have asked for a better evening. We were greeted by Lucia who was super friendly and welcoming. Callum led the trip and was very knowledgeable - we learnt some interesting facts about their wine and pairings! Afterwards Kearon made us the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had! Thank you all, will definitely return soon :)

Amazing place to have a chilled out evening , Kearon behind the bar absoute top lad look after me and my partner out for a meal and some drinks very helpful

Great choice of wines, lovely food and friendly service always :)

Great wine and fantastic deals, would recommend 👍🍷

Another great meal at Veeno Leeds. Previously had sharing boards but were recommended Pizza which did not disappointed. Staff were brilliant both Kieran and Callum couldn’t have been more helpful.

Excellent last minute choice on a Tuesday for dinner in Leeds, Callum, Kieran (front of house) and Balaz (kitchen) gave us excellent service and really lovely food. We’ve had the Sicilian tasting experience at Veeno before and loved it (and at thee old Leeds location years ago we had a sharing board and wine!) but thought we’d try something more substantial for dinner. The pizzas were really something - as a waitress of a decade in various local owned (and large chain…) Italian restaurants who is also partial to a pizza, I’ve eaten a pizza or two in my time and from the dough to the fresh pizza sauce to the excellent but simple use of toppings - it was truly something special from the first bite. (Being extremely honest….I’m pretty sure I ate more than my own half of the two we shared because I was enjoying myself so much….) Would be back again and a lovely touch was the wine offer at £3.50 a glass mid-week - we will be back!

My husband and I visited on 28th January as we had been gifted a dining for 2 Virgin experience as a wedding gift and it did not disappoint! We were looked after by Mary who was wonderful, she was so attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious, and as I'm pregnant they actually did an additional platter to accommodate me as I was not allowed to eat some of the meats included in the meal on the voucher - we thought this was very sweet! The drinks were beautiful, they had a great choice of mocktails and my husband loved the wine! We will be back. Thank you so much, Mary 😁

Excellent service from Megan, best Italian food we've had in years. Would highly recommend, kids enjoyed every mouthfull. Thank you will definitely be returning

Megan was lovely and attentive! Very good service and value for money! Great atmosphere! Would recommend!

Really good experience, had a detailed experience from callum at the restaurant, we had multiple cheeses and meats which were amazing on the grande board! Would recommend

Cristiano gave us outstanding service and we would definitely come again!

Amazing food and wine, great service from Cristiano, definitely recommend for a nice meal out!

Mary made our night fantastic, thank you so so much xx
