• Italian • Edinburgh
We are an authentic Italian wine café, proud to offer quality Sicilian wines and spuntini appetisers across the UK. In the spring of 2013 something extraordinary happened. Two Italian guys in their twenties met in Manchester to find out that they shared a unique passion; they both loved and missed, the Italian Aperitivo, the ritual of drinking, nibbling and relaxing after work. A daily occasion to share moments of happiness with friends and family. By the end of that very same year, Veeno was born: a place where everyone could enjoy great wines and the most authentic Spuntini – platters of meats, cheeses and other appetisers imported from strictly selected Italian producers. Our wines come from Caruso & Minini, our family vineyard back in Sicily where great-grandfather Antonio planted the first vines in the XIX century. Since then, we have been working hard to ensure that our quality and tradition could flow from the bottles to the glass in your hand.

    Tourist here. Amazing pizza and really cool and kind staff. The pizza is Neapolitan style, so thin crust pizza about 10 to 12 inches in diameter. If you are a light eater, 1 pizza and an appetizer is enough for 2 people. In the words of our server, "if you are hungry or tall", you should look to order the pizza for just yourself as they are not very big but imo, they are filling. My wife and I ordered two pizzas and had quite a bit left over. We are, however, short and not big eaters. Heh. Great place, highly recommend.
