Authentic flavors. Family recipes. Unforgettable nights.
La Fonda del Sol has been part of Scottsdale’s table since 1988, when Italian immigrant Olga Ricci took over a small neighborhood restaurant on Shea Boulevard. She poured her heart into every detail, a greeting guests as if they were family and making food that carried both comfort and care.
For twenty years, Olga was the heartbeat of La Fonda. She knew her guests by name, and the kitchen filled with the sound of her laughter, the smell of simmering red chile, and the rhythm of a place that always felt like home.
When Olga passed in 2008, her grandsons continued what she began, keeping the same recipes, the same warmth, and even the same loyal cook who has been with the restaurant for forty years. Today, Matthew Ricci proudly carries that legacy forward at La Fonda’s new home on Via Linda.
Now, in our new home, the spirit of that little restaurant still lives in every plate. From our family to yours, thank you for being part of this story. Some of you have been with us since the beginning, and some are just joining us, but either way, we’re glad you’re here.
