Caffe Chicco

Amazing roast beef sandwich. Best in the city… staffs are very friendly. Very clean place

I gave this place a harsh review because how long it took to get a beef sandwich ! I still feel it was slow this time but not as bad ! The beef was good as usual and it’s still 2^nd to nicks roast beef … But have to say nicks is falling off got beef couple weeks back meat was thick. This place meet was cut perfect. Cut thin,

I returned to Café Chicco on Broad Street for the third time. (I missed doing a review before). This is a small place, up a few stairs, a few tables inside. Sometimes its almost like a neighborhood place where locals come in the afternoon. Their specialty is the roast beef sandwich, on a long or a round roll. Cheese if you like. Soft drinks in a refrigerator case. They have a very reasonable breakfast, look at their menu for yourself. There is a display case with a large roast beef, the owner or cook carves the sandwich, the young lady brings it to the table. Its good, simple food, delicious sandwich and I would return any time I am in Philadelphia. Its plain and simple but outstanding in my opinion.

One of the best beef sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. As a Chicago native, this is what I want when I order a beef sandwich — not a dry, largely flavorless cheesesteak but a well seasoned, tender, juicy roll of meaty goodness and some sharp provalone on top. It’s just a 5 minute walk from Geno’s and Pat’s, and much much better.

Try the roast beef, it’s the best!

Been to lots of events in and around Philly for my whole life. I have eaten a lot of roast beef sandwiches and this place, hands down, has THE BEST ROAST BEEF I have ever had. It wasn’t too wet, but the roll held the moisture well. The taste of the beef was fresh and seasoned perfectly. It’s all you need — just the sandwich.
The menu is limited, but stick to the roast beef.
You will experience SOUTH PHILLY ettiquite… not overly friendly, even if you DO speak Italian, which the owner does. Probably came off the boat 50 years ago, but he is a staple in the community to which he belongs.
It is a tiny, quaint place — don’t bring a crowd or you will have to walk Broad Street with you food.
ONE NOTE — it is hard to find! We walked up and down the block and my boyfriend had been there before. There is purple neon on the window and a the name is a decal on the window. There is NO SIGN, other than the menu on a chalkboard on the sidewalk., at the bottom of the steps.
I did say quaint…
ENJOY!!!

BEST, JUICIEST, TASTIEST HOT ROAST BEEF SANDWICH EVER! Owner carves it right in front of you! Gravy Fries are terrific… gotta try ‘em! Great food all-​around including specialized panini sandwiches, pasta dishes, homemade meatballs, homemade chicken salad, homemade roasted peppers, delicious salads including Caprese style. Very good coffee, cappuccino, espresso, and iced coffee too!

best RB around bar none. sry nicks, chicco is truly better… this place should be on the food network, like diners drive in and dives…

I really like this place. For a quick bite on your lunch break its a great spot. Great paninnis and salads. And a great view of broad st. Anyone looking for a casual bite to eat should give it a try.

I’ve had one thing here and one thing alone. The roast beef. I don’t know if the coffee or anything else is good, but wow. Their roast beef sandwiches are my favorite I’ve ever had.
Hand carved roast beef on really good bread and definitely get the sharp provolone. I try to make to this place every time I’m in Philly.

Mediocre grub at a not-​worth-​it price. No matter if it’s the owner or an employee, it seems like every day is their first day working there.
