Review Summary

Bar Cicchetti feels like a lively, cozy neighborhood spot with a Venice inspired twist where small plates and drinks shine. Across reviews, the antipasto menu is a crowd favorite, with marinated olives and mushrooms singled out as particularly delicious, and bite sized items plus polenta fries get praise for satisfying hunger. The basil ginger lemonade and a broad cocktail and wine list stand out, while the terrace seating and warm ambiance, including music and lighting, earn frequent compliments, making it a popular pick for dates or nights out with friends. Service is described as attentive and the vibe welcoming, though a few visits note drawbacks on busy nights, such as loud crowds, limited outdoor seating after dark, and an hour plus wait for food with little discount offered. Overall, many call Bar Cicchetti exquisite and one of the best bars in Montreal, a place to linger over drinks and small plates and to return to again and again, especially for the outdoor scene and buzzy atmosphere.View restaurant profile
