TV personality and acclaimed chef Gino D’Acampo has announced that he will be bringing a new bar and restaurant concept to the newly refurbished Leeds Marriott Hotel later this year.
The plans feature space for 160 diners in an open plan restaurant, featuring an impressive marble bar, outdoor terrace, on-site deli, cicchetti bar and separate lounge area.
The full menu has been designed by Gino himself, with a team of esteemed chefs, to bring the best flavours to the city for an unforgettable experience. There’s a particular focus on quality and ingredient provenance for the food whilst the drinks menu will boast signature cocktails, Italian and international wines, Prosecco, Franciacorta, spirits and artisan beers.
The entire project is set to create 52 new jobs and see a £2 million investment into the hotel building, with plans to open to the public on Friday 14 April 2023.
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.”
A teaser of the food and drink offerings have now been shared, featuring pan-fried scallops, fettuccine, steaks and beautifully presented desserts.
Alan Malloy, General Manager at Leeds Marriott Hotel, said: “We are thrilled to be working with Gino and his team and can’t wait to welcome guests this spring.
“Our goal is to bring the very best choice in upmarket dining to our hotel guests and local audience. Our partnership with Gino D’Acampo could not be a better fit and we are looking forward to the opening of this fabulous restaurant and bar in the heart of our hotel.”
This new opening marks the sixth of the popular TV chef’s in less than two years. Gino has recently opened restaurants in Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool, Alderley Edge and London, and has hinted that following this will come his first international venture.
