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.
