Nesso Leeds opens new pasta bar, Lunara

Nesso has recently landed in Leeds City Centre, offering Italian-inspired flavours created by award-winning Leeds chef Bobby Geetha.

This spot is popular for its Italian-inspired bottomless brunch offering, as well as barista-made coffees and sweet treats.

A bright, airy space in Leeds’ city centre, it’s ideal for a catch-up with friends or a post-shopping pick me up.

A new concept called LUNARA is opening inside Nesso Café bar on 5th May 2026, offering a speciality pasta bar focused on freshly cooked dishes, a short menu, and affordable pricing.

With a small, focused menu, Nesso promises an emphasis on pasta quality over variety.

This Leeds spot will be offering limited evening seating, as well as their usual lunch opening times.
