Eating and Waiting to Eat Podcast

Hosted by Kevin Rivers & Carlos Miranda
Episode 18: Francesca Contini & Olivia Contini, Valvona & Crolla

Eating and Waiting to Eat is a podcast celebrating the dynamic food scene of Edinburgh, Scotland. The show chronicles the chats of co-hosts Kevin Rivers and Carlos Miranda with the people behind the restaurants, bars, and coffee shops that make their adoptive home a special city for food and drink.

"An expression of passion and enjoyment." That's how Eating and Waiting to Eat's latest guests, sisters Francesca and Olivia Contini, describe their 93 year(!) old Edinburgh institution: Valvona & Crolla. This stalwart Italian venue on Leith Walk - by far the oldest establishment featured on the show - is a one of a kind four-generation family business; a true gem in the Edinburgh, and Scotland's, food and hospitality scene.
