• Atmosphere.
• Cost, quality of products on sale, affogato.

“Being Italian I was looking forward to it so the opportunity arose when I visited the Edinburgh festival. I have to admit that it is very difficult to find a proper Italian deli in the UK. All my hopes disappeared when I entered the Valvona & Crolla shop, when I started reading the label and found that the product on sale were all average Italian supermarkets products with a very dear price, and not the one I would buy. The Valvona & Crolla branded products were made by big Italian companies and the only few good wines they had, but nothing more than the ones available from supermarkets, had an excessive high price. As this was not enough, we decided to stay for a coffee, it was 4pm and when reading the menu we found the affogato and ordered it. Again, another big disappointment. The affogato we received and we paid £3.95 was not more than a ball of vanilla lost in a poor espresso. Luckily, for us Italians looking for something to remind us about our country, there are other places that I would recommend.”
