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.

The menu includes dishes such as a Mafaldine with pesto cream, roast chicken & pistachio or a tempting Pappardelle with slow chilli beef ragù.

You can also opt for a half spatchcock roast chicken with onion gravy, offering a simple, hearty alternative.
