It all began in the summer of 1966, when a young, enterprising man made a bet with himself: to build a beach kiosk. With a simple idea—sketched out using a matchbox—he secured permits from the Harbour Office and brought his vision to life. On June 1st, 1967, he officially opened for his first season. What started as a small dream soon became a beloved institution along the coastline.
Today, more than 50 years later, Chicco Bar is much more than a kiosk. It’s a cherished meeting point for generations of beachgoers—a place where summer comes alive through smiles, flavors, and good company.
Over the years, Chicco transformed his bar with passion and foresight: expanding the space, adding outdoor seating, and creating a warm, laid-back atmosphere. His focus on quality, combined with a diverse selection of drinks, gelato, and fresh snacks, has won the hearts of both tourists and locals.
But the true secret behind Chicco Bar’s success is Chicco himself—a constant presence, known for his unmistakable smile and the kind, welcoming spirit that has made him a local favorite.
Always eager to innovate, Chicco has infused summers with themed evenings, live events, and collaborations with local artists, turning the bar into a dynamic and vibrant space. Beyond entrepreneurship, he’s always cared deeply for his community, supporting sports events and charitable initiatives.
Chicco Bar is more than just a beachside spot—it’s a place for the soul. A place you return to year after year to feel at home, surrounded by the sea, music, and memories. And with the same passion as ever, Chicco continues to write this story, season after season.
