Following successful launches in eight UK cities, the most recent being Harrogate (pictured) and Edinburgh, Veeno is set to open in Leicester on 24 November.
Nino Caruso, co-founder & director of Veeno, said, “We’re delighted to be introducing the concept of Aperitivo to Leicester! We already have a strong following in the Midlands in our Nottingham café with some of our customers travelling from Leicester to visit us there!”
Veeno opened its first store in Manchester in 2013 offering the most authentic 'spuntini' - the Italian concept for sharing, used to describe a leisurely meal comprising of any number of different dishes shared. Veeno's spuntini is mainly platters of meats and cheeses, strictly imported from Italian producers.
The wine on offer has been nominated for the prestigious Best Wine List award in the English-Italian awards. Veeno’s wines come from the family vineyard back in Sicily where Nino’s great-grandfather Antonio planted the first vines in the 19th century.
