• Italian • Bristol
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.

    I’ve been to the Ivy many times and we were visiting for my sister’s birthday. The venue is lovely which is why I always come here for special occasions. Our server was friendly and helpful. Everyone was really happy with their meals and good size portions too. The buffalo mozzarella was very delicious. Lovely gesture to give my sister a free desert with a candle in it.

    It was a lovely experience. Staff were very helpful, kind and very pleasant. I have coeliac disease. And the waiter provided me with a menu of all things gluten free. Which is amazing. The food was amazing. Both myself and my partner enjoyed ourselves very much.

    We booked this for a company meal and it wasn't quite the right vibe for it. It's better for a quick meal with a glass of wine and a chat, not so much a sit-down as it was noisy. But the staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful, the food was great as well. One of our party was dairy-intolerant, which we mentioned as we were greeted, but then that wasn't passed onto our server. So my colleague ended up with a big ball of mozzarella on her pizza. Mistakes do happen and we should've also mentioned it to the server. And once they realised the mistake, the staff were great about it, offered to make a new pizza, get us some extras and in general were very accommodating. So a lovely place, good food, good staff and nice vibe.
