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.
Cute little spot, great atmosphere - especially the outdoor seating at night for the pretty lights :) & the bite size food is great to cut the appetite

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.
08-2024 : beau bar de quartier. Les bouchées sont délicieuses & d'une fraîcheur impeccable. Choix de boissons sans alcool (bière ou mocktail). Le service est courtois. Nous étions en gang pour souligner la fête de 2 amis. Belle découverte.

Love this place! Held a private event & they went above & beyond. Service & the food was on point, couldn't have asked for a more perfect night. Highly recommended.
Loved this place! The food was delicious & extremely reasonably priced! We sat on the terrace which was super relaxing. However, I find that the seating on the terrace is a bit too cramped together (hard when people get up & knock things over on your table). Definitely will be back though!
The drinks were sooo good! We also got some delicious cicchetti with an arancini. It was crowded even though its on a hidden corner! Love that bar! Recommended
Le cicchetti c'est toujours le fun! La bouffe est bonne, la sélection de vin & de cocktails est très bien, la terrasse est parfaite & le service est sympathique! C'est l'endroit parfait pour une date ou pour aller prendre un verre entre ami.es ! Le rapport qualité-prix est incroyable, on y mange & y boit très bien pour pas trop cher (which is rare in Mtl) 🍷💛
Mon expérience dans ce petit restaurant bar caché a été formidable! L'ambiance était impeccable & la nourriture délicieuse. J'ai vraiment apprécié chaque moment passé là-bas.
Belle découverte! L'ambiance est parfaite pour une soirée en tête a tête ou entre amis. Belle carte de cocktail & vins, & plusieurs bonnes bières. La bouffe est particulièrement intéressante, quelque part entre nostalgie de notre enfance & potluck de Noël, on peut y prendre des bouchées à la pièce, ou des assiettes assorties, incluant des sandwiches pas de croûtes, des oeufs Mimosa, des polpetta, etc. Délicieux & très abordable ! Service très rapide & agréable
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!
Fabuleux bar de quartier dans le Milex où déguster les « cicchetti » & plein d'autres délicieux plats, sans oublier les vins & cocktails. Ambiance & musique vraiment top. À faire & à refaire le plus possible!!!
