Edinburgh locals can enjoy 25% off food across The Vittoria Group this November

With Christmas on the horizon and the cost of the festive season starting to add up, The Vittoria Group is giving Edinburgh residents something to look forward to this November, with an exclusive 25% off food across its venues for anyone with an EH postcode.

Available from 1st–30th November, every day except Saturdays, the offer is a way for the group to show some extra love to its local community, making it easier to enjoy a great meal out, catch up with friends or spend quality time with family without stretching the budget ahead of Christmas.

Whether it’s trying somewhere new, enjoying a relaxed midweek dinner or gathering everyone around the table, there’s something for every occasion across The Vittoria Group’s collection of Edinburgh venues.

Here’s a taste of what’s on offer:

Divino Enoteca – Ideal for lovers of authentic Italian dining, Divino’s menu features everything from classic antipasto boards with fine Italian charcuterie to slow-roasted pork belly, traditional spaghetti alla carbonara and its much-loved beef cheek braised in Merlot. Guests can also explore the Enomatic self-serve wine machine, sampling wines in measures ranging from 25ml tasters to a full glass. Wednesday jazz nights make it an ideal spot for a leisurely evening out.

Vittoria on the Walk – At the heart of the city’s bustling Leith Walk, this lively venue serves up Italian favourites, including homemade meatballs, Shetland mussels with ’nduja, seafood pasta with tomato and a touch of chilli, and classic Neapolitan pizzas.

Brunswick Bookclub – Perfect for a relaxed catch-up over comforting pub classics, the menu ranges from macaroni croquettes and chilli squid to steak pie and chicken Caesar wraps. Guests can also tuck into a traditional Sunday roast, enjoy live music on Mondays and Wednesdays, or put their knowledge to the test at Thursday quiz nights.

Vittoria on the Bridge – Italian comfort food takes centre stage at this Old Town favourite, with freshly made focaccia, gorgonzola ravioli, porcini risotto and deluxe bruschetta among the highlights. Its welcoming atmosphere makes it a great choice for gathering with friends and family.

Landy’s and Bertie’s – For a taste of classic chippy fare, expect fish and chips alongside nostalgic Scottish favourites such as deep-fried Mars bars and a pizza crunch. Both located near Edinburgh’s iconic Royal Mile, they provide the perfect stop for a proper Scottish takeaway treat.

From Italian favourites and leisurely wine tastings, to comforting pub classics and traditional fish and chips, the offer gives Edinburgh residents the perfect excuse to discover a new favourite or revisit a much-loved local spot, all while saving a little ahead of the festive season.

Offer details: The 25% discount applies to food from the à la carte menu only and is available from 1st–30th November, every day except Saturdays. Guests must present valid identification showing their name and EH postcode to redeem the offer.

Vittoria Group donates £8k to its local community

Family-run restaurant group has donated £8,000 to local charities and initiatives over an eight month period

A charitable initiative launched by the family-run Vittoria Hospitality Group has donated over £8,000 in its first six months, supporting a range of Edinburgh-based charities and community organisations.

Established in November 2025 as part of the Vittoria Group’s 55th anniversary celebrations, the Giving Back programme supports grassroots organisations making a difference across the capital, helping people living with disabilities, those facing homelessness, and local young people.

Unlike traditional grant programmes, Giving Back focuses on funding specific items requested by organisations, ensuring donations have a direct and lasting impact.

In its first eight months, the initiative has provided vital, targeted support across the city, including specialist technology and sensory equipment provided to young people with complex or additional support needs at Teens+, Prospect Bank School, and Braidburn Special School.

The fund has also delivered essential supplies for women experiencing homelessness via Sparkle Sisters, supported youth development and literacy resources for the Pilmeny Development Trust and Craigmillar Literacy Trust, as well as sponsoring new sports kits for Redpath Albion FC and vital funding for Muirfield Riding Therapy.

In addition to the £8,000 donated by Vittoria Hospitality Group, one of its suppliers, JB Foods Scotland, contributed a further £1,000 in December.

Leandro Crolla, Director of Vittoria Hospitality Group, said: “When we launched Giving Back, we wanted to create something that would make a real difference to local organisations doing incredible work in our communities.

“Seeing the reaction from the charities, schools and groups we’ve supported has shown us how even relatively small donations can have a significant impact when they reach the right people.

“Edinburgh has supported our family and our business for more than 55 years. This programme is our way of saying thank you and helping strengthen the communities that have been part of our story for generations.”

Talking about the donation of a new football kit for the entire team, Bryan Maughan, coach at Redpath Albion FC, said: “The boys and parents loved them. We wore the matchday kits for the first time at Currie, and they certainly brought us luck as we secured a great 6–2 win in monsoon-like conditions.

“The boys haven’t forgotten the offer of a breakfast roll either, and we’re all looking forward to the visit.”

The initiative is led by the Vittoria Hospitality Group, one of Edinburgh’s longest-established family-run hospitality businesses, now in its fourth generation of family ownership. 

Recipients of the donation are chosen through a monthly staff vote, giving employees across the group’s venues the opportunity to nominate and support causes close to their hearts. Schools, charities, youth groups and community organisations across Edinburgh are encouraged to apply for future rounds of support.

Vittoria Group supports young people with first Giving Back donations

The Vittoria Group has revealed the first two beneficiaries of its new Vittoria Giving Back programme, launched last month in honour of the group’s 55th anniversary, to support local organisations making a difference across Edinburgh.

The inaugural recipients Teens+ and Prospect Bank School were selected from the first round of applications, with each receiving donations worth up to £1,000. Rather than providing cash, the Vittoria Group chose to fund specific items requested by each organisation, ensuring the support would deliver long-term, practical impact.

Teens+, a transitional education service, based beside Vittoria on the Walk on McDonald Road, supports young adults with complex learning difficulties across its four centres in Edinburgh and East Lothian, helping learners gain confidence and prepare for life beyond school.

As technology becomes central to everyday independence, whether communicating online, completing coursework, making bookings or working toward qualifications, Teens+ highlighted the growing need for accessible IT equipment. The group will receive a specialist laptop to help students build essential digital skills and engage safely in an increasingly online world.

The second recipient is Prospect Bank School in Leith, which supports primary-aged children with complex, long-term additional support needs, including intellectual disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The school focuses on helping pupils communicate, manage sensory input, and participate in meaningful learning experiences. Funding from Vittoria Giving Back will enable the purchase of a SENSIS Cube – a piece of sensory play equipment designed for spinning, swinging and climbing, offering pupils calming or stimulating activities tailored to their needs.

The Vittoria Group is encouraging local schools, charities, youth groups and community organisations to apply for the next round of support.
