Independently owned and operated, Riccotti’s of Bristol is an homage to family, tradition, and classic submarine sandwiches.

Holiday gift card charity drive

This year, instead of running our usual gift card promotion, we’re focusing on giving back to the incredible local community that has supported us over the years. Our efforts are dedicated to supporting organizations that make a direct, positive impact on the East Bay and Rhode Island as a whole.

For the four weeks leading up to Christmas, we’re spreading holiday cheer by donating 15% of all gift card sales to support outstanding local charities. Each week, a different organization making a positive impact in our community will benefit from the proceeds.

Our team carefully selected these charities from a list of 10-15 impactful local organizations, ultimately narrowing it down to just four through a thoughtful team vote. We’re proud to join hands with our community in spreading goodwill this holiday season!

About us

In the late 1960s, a group of passionate individuals in southern New England embarked on a mission to craft exceptional sandwiches. Inspired by a commitment to quality and service, they founded Riccotti’s, opening dozens of sandwich shops around the region.

Today, over 50 years later, four Riccotti’s locations endure, each independently owned and operated. Among them stands Les’ Riccotti’s of Bristol, founded in 1971 by Les and Joanne Hubbard. With a family legacy spanning three generations, Riccotti’s continues to pride itself on delivering the finest subs in the state.

Over the years, we've been honored to receive a number of awards, including “Best of Rhode Island,” “Best of East Bay,” and “Critics Choice” awards for best Italian grinder. Whether you're coming to town via the East Bay Bike Path, picnicking at Colt State Park, exploring Newport's iconic beaches, or seeking a quick and satisfying lunch, we invite you to experience the excellence, tradition, and taste of Riccotti’s for yourself.

What people are saying…

"I’ve been making the hour trip here for a few years. Always consistent, best chicken parm on the planet. Customer service, phone and online ordering, menu, drinks, snacks, all fantastic! That perfect old school sub shop feel but keeping up with the times with a modern touch. Please never change, I’ll cry. "

"This was my first time at a Riccotti's in Rhode Island. The bread was good and the meats felt like fresh cut. The service was quick for the amount of people waiting."

-Tom S.
"One of the top sandwich shops in the state, busy but always plenty of helpful courtesy friendly staff to make your selection quickly and accurately, always a pleasure stopping in and always try to go when in the area, highly recommended for a good quick bite and spinach pies are best around."

-Donald Van Voast
"You walk in and immediately know you are going to get a good sandwich. The place smells delicious. The staff was friendly and the food delicious. I had a Pastrami and my daughter had a Turkey Club - both were good portions and great value."
