Chiocca's Deli News

"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."

Sounds like Style knows the Chiocca's staff pretty well.

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.

Warm weather, cold beer and chilled glasses. These are the things that built great American delis like Chiocca's Downstairs Deli and Bar.

If you don't believe us, ask one of the Founding Fathers.

You can find a couple of them down at Chiocca's Deli and Bar!
