Ricky + Olivia

Ricky + Olivia is a playful and nostalgic contemporary Canadian restaurant and tasting room located at 996 Queen Street East in Toronto's vibrant Leslieville neighborhood. Formally opened in April 2024, the brick-and-mortar establishment is the culmination of six years of nomadic pop-ups and winery residencies across Ontario by co-owners and culinary partners Chef Rick Casipe and Olivia Simpson. The restaurant centers around an inventive, product-driven approach that celebrates the diverse agricultural landscape of Ontario. The menu features an eclectic range of creative, thoughtful dishes designed for sharing, with signature offerings including a uniquely composed roasted carrot plate with chickpeas and bay leaf ice cream, local rainbow trout, and house-made turnip cakes, alongside a nostalgic chicken salad sandwich and burgers. Additionally, the establishment operates an on-site bottle shop showcasing local VQA Ontario wines and craft beverages.
