FioRito Ristorante

Chef Jordan Rickard began his career washing dishes at a diner in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He then attended Johnson and Wales University in Denver where he interned at the 2-Michelin Starred restaurant Coi. 

Jordan proceeded to work at notable restaurants in Colorado such as Frasca Food and Wine, Beast+Bottle, and Linger before moving back home to Wichita to be the Executive Chef at Napoli Italian Eatery. 

Now, he is fulfilling dual dreams of collaborating with his brother Jason and opening their own restaurant together. 

Chef Jason Rickard grew up in Wichita and is an East High alum. After graduating from Northwestern University, Jason decided a legal career was not the right fit. A move to Denver with his then girlfriend and now wife, Rachele FioRito, proved to be the opportunity to explore his longtime passion for cooking. 

In the years since Jason has worked at many of Denver’s best restaurants (ChoLon, Guard & Grace, Safta, and Beckon*). However, the highlight of his time in Colorado was his 3 years at the Michelin starred and multiple James Beard awarded Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder, CO.

 Chef Jason is very excited to be back in Wichita and to have the opportunity to work with his talented brother once again.
