Restaurant Boss In Capital Expansion The Scotsman reports that one of Edinburgh's best-known Italian restaurant groups has revealed a multi-million expansion plan as it looks to open a third site in the city centre. Vittorias, which has been a huge hit at its Leith location for nearly four decades, will open a new sister restaurant, Vittoria, at the former Bauermeister Books site on George IV Bridge later this month. The new venture is the second major restaurant that owner Tony Crolla has opened - after the launch of La Favorita in Leith Walk - since he took over Vittorias from his parents - who opened Vittorias on Leith Walk in 1970 - in 1993.
