On my trip to the gubernatorial debate this weekend, I stopped by the town where I used to live, Covington, VA. There is a restaurant near where I-64 passes through town called Cucci’s.

It is a family owned Italian restaurant that serves as a real center of the small town life there in Covington. It is particularly well known for its sandwiches and turnovers. While I was there, owner Victor Cucci told me that a Cucci’s would be opening in Blacksburg.

He has other offshoots of the original Covington location.

Two Lil’ Cucci’s restaurants operate in Daleville and Forest.

He did not say whether this one would be named Cucci’s or Lil’ Cucci’s, but he mentioned it would be opening in about two weeks.

I have not been able to confirm the exact location, but he said it was off of Price’s Fork Road. More information when I get it on a new restaurant moving in. Zc
