Ricky + Olivia

If you had to describe Ricky + Olivia in one word, it would undoubtedly be "fun." From the look (think eclectic, with distinct areas and whimsical touches) to the menu (with nods to nostalgic childhood favorites and playful dishes subtly referencing other restaurants), Chefs Ricky Casipe and Olivia Simpson have fashioned a decidedly clever spot. Take the carrot and ice cream, a savory plate of roasted carrot tucked with chickpeas and topped with bay leaf ice cream over a bed of melted brie. It doesn't need to make sense—it's delicious. Whether you tuck into the shareable appetizers like tartares and dips or opt for burgers and turnip cakes or kofta lashed with rhubarb yogurt sauce, settle in for an irreverently good time.
