Tim Chiocca, Prprietor of Chiocca's Downstairs Deli

Chiocca's Downstairs Deli and Bar is where good friends go to meet! Opened in 1952 by Mario Chiocca, his son Tim Chiocca took over Chiocca's Downstairs Deli and Bar in 1978. Home of made-to-order deli subs and sandwiches like the wildly popular sailor, the classic reuben, the Downstairs Dagwood (served cold), the Beast Feast and the Downstairs sub, ALL of Chiocca's delicious subs and sandwiches are prepared with double portions.

So, stop by Chiocca's and enjoy conversation with good friends, the cozy atmosphere and one of the best deli subs or sandwiches in Richmond and you will know why Chiocca's Downstairs Deli and Bar has been a Richmond, Virginia landmark and "local legend" (according to Style Weekly) for over half a century.

Colts v. Saints!

Big subs and sandwiches from Chiocca's!

Chiocca's made it into Style's 2009 bar guide under "Top 10 Cellars".

"Those few steps down into this corner spot are a rite of passage. After a few giant beers and an excellent sandwich in this drinking den you’ll try to ascend, fail, and ask for a job."

Hey, for a list of great events and places that got it going on (like the deli sandwiches and subs at Chiocca's) here in Richmond and beyond, visit Bill's Richmond List! at billsrichmondlist.com

And, of course, after taking in one of the great events on Bill's list, replenish your energy with sandwiches, subs and ice-cold beer at Chiocca's!

Thanks to Carrie Nieman Culpepper at Culture Fix for a parting word up on the chicken coup. Don't believe her? Well, come on in and try it yourself.

Chiocca's to-go containers are environmentally friendly! The most earth-friendly disposal method around short of some Wiccan freak conjuring up a spell!

So, it is "to go" without the guilt!

Hey, Vegans! Chiocca's vegan sub is called the "Meatless". Got it? Provolone, Swiss, Mushrooms, Onion, Green Pepper, Lettuce, Tomato, Italian Dressing. Hang with your carnivore buddies, relax and have a good time for a change!
