    One of my favorite breakfast locations in all of town. The value for the buffet/brunch selections and beverages are outstanding! The service staff is excellent. Grab a plate, head to the buffet and run (don’t walk) to the Dulce de Leche French Toast!

    Vic & Ola's is our favorite high end Italian restaurant. It has some wonderful Italian Cuisine that is hard to find, like Osso Bucco. Try the Artichoke side dish or their Burrata and tomatoes. They also have a wonderful wine list with a large selection of Italian and other European wines, something that is not too common in the California wine influenced Scottsdale area. We have sat indoors and most recently on the outdoor patio which is lovely and quite comfortable with all the high end heat lamps. We will back soon!
