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.

Love this place. Where else can you get Cicchetti in Canada? Only here.

Venice in Montreal.

Great food & cotails. Cool vibe. Nice decor. Friendly staff.

Wanna go back... Missed out on the fried polenta.

We went here tonight & were really excited, but our food took almost an hour & was not great, definitely worth the $3.50 per dish. We were pretty shocked that we weren't offered a discount/some kind of accommodation after the hour long wait for our food, considering we didn't order that much or anything very big. That being said, the polenta fries were very good & the terrace is very nice!

I've been here a few times in the last 3-4 months. It's nice to have this type of options around this part of Montreal. I love the terrace, it is unpretentious & it has a nice vibe but keep in mind that it can get really crowded & tables are too squeezed together. The area inside is quite nice & quieter. Unfortunately, last time I sat inside there were too many mosquitos or fruit flies. Drinks are overall good, there are very limited options to get wine by the glass though. Food is OK-ish. I haven't tried all of them but so far the only ones I'd consider reordering are the polenta fries & the arancini. I hated the meatballs. Service is good overall. I've never been rushed to leave even when it's crowded. Parking in the area is really difficult to find.

Belle petite ambiance chic urbaine décontractée qui nous invite en entrant. Menu offrant tout plein de petits hors-d'oeuvres & d'appéritifs très bons & de qualité; des antipastis italiens variés allant de sandwiches au jambon à endives garnies en passant par des oeufs à la diavola. Beaucoup sont servis sur pain & font pensé au tapas basques (pintxos). Les frites à la polenta étaient une découverte surprenante & bien bonne! Cocktails pas mal bons aussi! Expérience positive!

Vastly over-priced. Just another trend trap for the trend drones. Special touch those concrete patio tables (note the sarcasm).

Would never go to one of these places on my own, that's for sure.

On a positive note, the polenta fries were incredible.
