Vic & Ola's

Delicious food and very friendly, attentive service! The other reviews are spot on: ask for the vodka pasta sauce; it’s not on the menu, and love that they served it in a boat so you can adjust how saucy you want it. They checked on us a lot, made great recommendations, and food came out quickly. Will be back!

We’d come back just to eat the chocolate buttercake dessert. Absolutely incredible. The ambience is cozy and elevated. We came in the wintertime and they have plenty of heaters, as well as thoughtful details like blankets for the patio if you’re chilly. Wonderful spot, highly recommend!

A Culinary Symphony at Vic & Ola's: An Unforgettable Evening in Scottsdale Nestled in the heart of North Scottsdale, Vic & Ola's is a true gem that transforms a simple dinner into a multi-sensory celebration of Italian artistry and warm hospitality. From the moment we stepped inside, the elegant ambiance enveloped us—think soft golden lighting from crystal chandeliers, intricate Moroccan-inspired screens casting playful shadows, and a lively hum of conversation mingling with the clink of wine glasses. The space feels both intimate and grand, with plush velvet booths and a gleaming bar that invites you to linger. It's the kind of place where you forget you're in Arizona and imagine yourself transported to a sun-drenched villa in Tuscany. Our meal began with a generous serving of amazing calamari and velvety roasted tomato mushroom basil soup, a deceptively simple starter that arrived in a pristine white bowl, crowned with golden croutons and fresh basil leaves. The flavors were pure sunshine—rich, herbaceous, and subtly smoky, with just enough warmth to tease the palate for what was to come. It was the perfect prelude to the parade of dishes that followed. The highlights? Oh, where to start. The salmon ravioli in a vibrant cream sauce was a revelation—plump pockets of pasta bursting with sweet, tender salmon, nestled in a silky orange-hued broth flecked with chives and a sprinkle of microgreens. Each bite was a luxurious hug, balancing brininess with creamy elegance. We couldn't resist the pan-seared salmon over handmade pappardelle, where the fish's crispy herb crust gave way to flaky perfection, swimming in a lemony beurre blanc alongside charred lemon, asparagus, and artichokes. It was fresh, zesty, and utterly refined. For the pasta lovers at the table, the rigatoni sausage delivered waves of comfort—al dente tubes coated in a slow-simmered meat sauce that sang of tradition, topped with a blizzard of Parmigiano-Reggiano. And the eggplant parmigiana? Layers of golden-fried slices, gooey mozzarella, and San Marzano tomatoes, garnished with basil and olives—a vegetarian masterpiece that even carnivores devoured. We ventured into the unexpected with squid ink linguine tossed in a spicy nduja ragu, the jet-black strands providing a dramatic canvas for the chorizo-like heat and briny feta crumbles. It was bold, innovative, and a nod to Vic & Ola's creative edge without ever straying from their Italian roots. Portions were generous yet refined, leaving room for indulgence. But let's talk dessert, because that's where the magic peaked. The butter cake arrived warm and gooey, drenched in caramel sauce and paired with vanilla gelato and whipped cream—a decadent embrace of British-Italian fusion that had us scraping the plate clean. Close on its heels was the molten chocolate butter cake, its center oozing like liquid gold under a scoop of vanilla ice cream and mint sprig. Served with a flourish (and a spoon for good measure), it was the ultimate crowd-pleaser, rich yet not overwhelming. What elevated this already stellar experience to five-star perfection? Our servers, Zev and Hannah. Zev's encyclopedic knowledge of the wine led us to a Restaurant Week pairing that paired each wine flawlessly with every course, while his genuine enthusiasm for the menu made recommendations feel like insider secrets. Hannah, with her infectious smile and effortless grace, anticipated our every need—from fresh bread refills to swapping out a side without missing a beat. Their teamwork was seamless, their energy warm and unpretentious, turning our table into a personal fete. In a city full of spots chasing trends, Vic & Ola's shines because of people like them—attentive pros who make you feel like family. Vic & Ola's isn't just a meal; it's a memory-maker. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or just craving elevated comfort food, this Scottsdale standout delivers on every level. We left stuffed, smiling, and already plotting our return. Bravo—don't walk, run to book a table. You won't regret it.

This elegant casual dining spot is a must while in Scottsdale. We've experienced indoor and outdoor dining. Both are lovely and for those who live for a great patio, this is your place. The Lasagna is incredible and melts in your mouth if that makes sense and the Sausage Pasta Rigatoni is also magnificent. For tasty light bites, you cannot go wrong with the Old School Antipasto - delicious charcuterie board. This charming location needs to br on your list. Service was impeccable and attentive.

Went to Vic & Ola’s for drinks and dinner, and we were blown away by the friendliness along with the overall atmosphere. But it didn’t stop there. The food was absolutely delicious and so fresh. It’s always scary trying a nice new restaurant and hoping it’s worth the money — this was beyond worth it. And wanted to shoutout John, so kind.

Thanks for being so nice! You made our day. We were coming for lunch and ended up a bit early and walking around. We ran into the owner at Pescados, their sister restaurant, and she was so nice! The funny thing is we saw her on check please, Arizona, the night before and were so excited because we were planning on going today. It was cool and serendipitous. The meal was fabulous, and we will definitely be coming again. All the neighborhood people love this place on Nextdoor. The employees made us feel like family and were so nice to us. The Italian panino was great and I loved the pumpkin soup. We also ordered a linguini with clams and they were so good. Thanks again. We can't wait to visit again and sit out on the beautiful patio!

My husband and I don’t get out for date nights very often, so when we do, we really hope it’s something special — and this visit to Vic and Olas was exactly that. From the moment we walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made us feel relaxed and ready to enjoy our evening. The lighting and music created just the right mood for a cozy night out. Our server Megan was an absolute delight — warm, charming, and genuinely sweet. She knew the menu inside and out, gave fantastic recommendations, and made us feel so well cared for the entire night. The food was absolutely amazing — full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with fresh, quality ingredients. Every bite felt like a little indulgence. Between the wonderful service, delicious food, and perfect ambience, this was truly a treat for us. We left with full hearts (and stomachs) and will absolutely be back again.

Hands down the best restaurant in North Scottsdale/DC Ranch! I’ve never had a bad experience here, ever. The food, service, and atmosphere is always amazing! My usual is the sausage pasta rigatoni but sub-out the sauce for a vodka sauce. And for dessert, order the butter cake with salted caramel gelato. Cannot recommend the place enough!!!

OMG, by far the best bolognese lasagna I’ve had, it was perfect, large serving, took half home. The bread, the beet salad, and the waiter’s suggested wine was as perfect. Second time here since we’re from Milwaukee, but will be back next year for sure.

Great Italian restaurant in DC Ranch with a varied menu. I had the Halibut and it was fabulous. One friend got the lasagne and he liked it but didn't rave about it. Another friend got the chappino and said it was excellent. I was full from the dinner but friends split the tirramasu and they couldn't stop talking about it. Service was OK but our server was a little forgetful.
