I had wanted to go to Veeno for a while, ever since hearing it had opened up on Piccadilly in York. It is completely Alan's sort of place - wine and Italian nibbles. We decided spontaneously to get the other day and we were not disappointed.
We chose to enjoy a bottle of the House Red (which was a lovely mix of Merlot and Nero D'Avola, and good value at £11), and several of the wine cafe's sharing platters, including a bruschetta selection, a meat and cheese board and some homemade breads with family made olive oil.
Everything was delicious, varied and perfect for supping with our bottle of red. We had cheeses which were smoky, spicy and creamy; a variety of cured meats, all with unique flavours, flavoursome bread with excellent olive oil, and bruschetta featuring sweet peppers, rich olive tapenade and a particularly potent chorizo paste.
Future trips will definitely include a bit more wine tasting - perhaps branching out into a few more of their recommendations - and certainly plenty more of their sharing boards. Service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was relaxed and convivial, perfect for my kind of night out.
We will be back and would highly recommend it.
We're pretty intrigued by the Apericena, an Italian buffet and drink offer which takes place every Wednesday. Watch this space.
