    Description

    Chef Rico reopened Penrose Restaurant as Almond and Oak in December of 2018.
    Rico Rivera was born and raised in Oakland, California. After graduating from Skyline High School, he attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York.

    After 3 years in Boston, he moved to New York to further his culinary education and worked at the famed Gramercy Tavern under chef Tom Colicchio. This is where he developed a love for cooking with live fire.

    Longing to return to his roots, he moved back to Oakland and began working at the then, newly opened, Pizzaiolo. After 5 years at Pizzaiolo, Rico was ready to take on the opportunity of running a kitchen of his own. He became the Executive Chef at Flora Restaurant in Uptown Oakland, where he spent 8 years developing and nurturing relationships with neighborhood farmers.

    Rico now takes on the helm at his own restaurant, Almond and Oak in his hometown of Oakland. The cuisine is California New American, focusing on a seasonality with a market-driven menu.
