A NEW UPMARKET ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN THE HEART OF THE CITY

Gino D’Acampo has revealed he is to open a new upmarket Italian restaurant and bar at the recently refurbished Leeds Marriott Hotel – Gino D’Acampo, Trevelyan Sq, Boar Lane, Leeds.

Designed by acclaimed international restaurant designer Bernard Carroll, it will feature an impressive marble bar complete with lounge area, a cicchetti bar, deli, 160-seater open plan restaurant, and outdoor terrace, making it the perfect year-round destination.

The design, look and feel will be glamorous and opulent, harnessing the first-class world-operating standards for which Marriott Bonvoy and Gino D’Acampo Hotels & Leisure are recognised.

Catering to every dining need, the restaurant will be open all day, every day for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner until late, with  guests of the hotel also able to enjoy in-room dining prepared by the restaurant.

The menu, designed personally by Gino and his esteemed team of chefs, will be fitting for its location, encompassing classic Italian dishes with a real focus on quality and ingredient provenance.  The drinks menu, curated by Gino’s expert sommeliers, will feature an extensive list of classic and signature cocktails, Italian and international wines, Prosecco, Franciacorta, spirits and artisan beers, with Gino promising to raise the bar for Italian dining in the culinary city.

The opening heralds the first of a number of new signings for the leading hotel and leisure company, further to Gino striking a partnership with global hotel leaders Marriott Bonvoy and Hamilton-Pyramid Europe.

His latest project will see an investment of £1.5m in the iconic building with the new venue to open this spring, creating 52 job

Speaking on the announcement, Gino D’Acampo said: “I couldn’t be more pleased to announce plans for Gino D’Acampo at Leeds Marriott Hotel.”

“I have a long relationship with the city having opened one of my first restaurants in Leeds almost eight years ago and I’m thrilled to return with the opening of my new upmarket Italian restaurant and bar, which I promise will be something else.

”We’ve been looking for the perfect location for some time and at Leeds Marriott Hotel we have found it.”

Work on the new restaurant and bar will commence on Tuesday January 10^th and will see a complete refurbishment of the impressive building.

Upon launch the restaurant will be Gino’s sixth opening in less than two years. It follows openings in Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool, London, and Alderley Edge, and is part of his strategy to open further upmarket restaurants in major UK and affluent suburbs.  He has also hinted he is soon to announce his first International location.
