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.
