Chicco Bar: what it offers

Chicco Bar has an indoor room, with the bar, the tobacconist and the cured meats counter, and an outdoor wooden veranda with a green space. Dogs and other pets are allowed on the veranda.

The sandwich bar offers aged local prosciutto, capocollo, ciauscolo (a soft spreadable salami), salami, sausages, smoked guanciola and lonzino, cave-aged pecorino (pecorino di grotta) and fresh and aged cheeses. There is also a vegetarian sandwich. The bar also serves coffee and gelato.

The kitchen is mainly a traditional hot-food counter (tavola calda), with mushrooms as the specialty. Regular dishes include tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, grilled lamb and roasted porcini mushrooms. The place is small, so reserving is advisable, especially on weekends.
