If you’re tasked with arranging a corporate dining event in Leeds that blends professionalism with style and authentic Italian hospitality, look no further than LIVIN’Italy at Granary Wharf. From its central location and contemporary Italian décor to its flexible event spaces and quality cuisine, it ticks a lot of boxes for business meals with a difference.

Location & Ambience, Leeds City Centre, Italian Style

LIVIN’Italy is located in the heart of Leeds city centre, at Granary Wharf (LS1 4BR) under atmospheric railway arches and overlooking the Leeds–Liverpool Canal. The setting already gives it something extra: canal-side views, an urban yet relaxed feel, and a venue where you can start with business drinks and move through to an evening meal without changing environments.

Our core values emphasise Italian living: passion, tradition, integrity and simplicity. That approach goes beyond the food, it’s embedded in the style, service and feel of the place. For a corporate dining event, having a venue that feels warm, engaging and different from the usual boardroom or hotel banquet room can make a strong impression.

Spaces Designed for Corporate Dining

When organising corporate dining, space, versatility and service matter. LIVIN’Italy delivers:

• Our lounge area is suitable for a more intimate, high-end dining experience of around 30-35 guests standing/seated.
• The restaurant’s combined area can accommodate up to about 80 guests, making it ideal for larger corporate dinners with presentations, speeches or shared courses.
• For full-scale events, the venue supports up to 120 guests when the whole space is hired, including bar, terrace and restaurant.
• There’s also a terrace available, which opens onto the canal and is perfect for drinks receptions, casual mingling before dinner or an informal networking event.

This flexibility means whether you’re planning a quiet stakeholder dinner or a full company celebration after a conference, LIVIN’Italy adapts.

Dining Experience & Service for Business Events

Corporate dining isn’t just about the space; it’s about the entire experience. At LIVIN’Italy:

• We offer bespoke menus (buffet style, sit down, sharing plates) tailored to event type and guest numbers.
• Our Italian roots and ingredient sourcing promise quality: the venue emphasises relationships with Italian artisan producers, and cuisines built on authentic Italian tradition.
• For business groups, this means impressive food without being overly fussy, service that is professional yet relaxed, and a venue with a refined atmosphere perfect for networking or corporate celebration.

Why It Works for Corporate Dining

Here are key reasons why LIVIN’Italy is an excellent choice for corporate dining in Leeds:

1. Professional yet relaxed environment – The décor, location, and hospitality feel more refined than casual dining, but are far less stiff than traditional hotel venues.
2. Flexible capacity – From small executive dinners to full company events, the venue scales.
3. Quality offering – The food, drink and overall service draw from genuine Italian heritage, so your event stands out.
4. Location advantage – Granary Wharf is central, easy to reach for delegates, and provides a scenic backdrop for photos or informal post-dinner drinks.
5. Complete event support – The availability of an Event Manager and tailored menus means less stress for you as the organiser.

Planning Your Corporate Event at LIVIN’Italy

To ensure your event runs smoothly, here are a few practical tips:

• Book early: Especially if you’re targeting peak dinner slots or want the terrace for a drinks reception.
• Clarify your format: Will it be a set menu, sharing plates or buffet? Communicate menu preferences and dietary needs (the venue handles vegan and gluten-avoiding options) ahead of time.
• Visit the venue: Take a look at the lounge, restaurant and terrace so you’re familiar with the layout, lighting and flow.
• Consider scheduling: Maybe start with a drinks reception on the terrace before moving into the restaurant for dinner; this gives a dynamic flow to the evening.
• Communicate vision to your Event Manager: Whether this is a company awards dinner, client hospitality event or end-of-project celebration, let the team know so they can tailor everything accordingly.
