johnjo   10 #2 Posted July 12, 2004 That's "EccleSALL" Road.  I moved onto Ecclesall Road in March 2001 and it wasn't there then. The only wine bar of such i know of is one called Menzels. Where abouts was it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

johnjo   10 #7 Posted July 12, 2004 Nobody got harmed when it was torched. It had been an empty fail restaurant for a while before that. It has been re-built, roofed and painted. Don't know if it is open yet or as what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Scratchitt   10 #8 Posted July 12, 2004 Thanks for the info about the Dam House. The wine bar was called Victoria Wine Bar not Giovanni's. I'm getting a bit old and my memory is beginning to fail!! Have you heard of that one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

richard15   10 #11 Posted May 18, 2019 I remember Giovanni's on ecclesall road. I moved to Sheffield in around 1990 and it was there then. it was opposite where Marks and Spencers is today. It was a Pizza and wine bar with wooden benches if that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
