Reviews portray Ciccio's as a standout Italian sandwich spot in Montreal, with bread and ingredients highlighted for quality and flavor, especially the muffuletta, porchetta, caprese, and prosciutto sandwiches. The bread is consistently praised for crisp crust and soft interior, the meats and cheeses feel fresh, and the signature ciccio sauce adds a creamy tang. The vibe is retro yet cozy, with limited seating and a preference for takeout, while the service is often warm and attentive but occasionally could be more welcoming or consistent. Some criticism exists over price versus portion size and occasional menu stability with items like muffuletta sometimes selling out; nonetheless the overall experience is described as enjoyable and memorable, making it a must visit for Italian sandwiches in Old Montreal with many reviewers planning return trips to try more items and desserts like pistachio tiramisu and espresso drinks.
Popped in for a quick sandwich & I must recommend the porchetta sandwich! It was so tasty & flavorful & fresh.
The crusty bread was perfect with the soft mozza & the sauce.
Service was on point & friendly & fun!
Absolutely will be back!

I don't know if I was that hungry or the sandwich was really that good but this place is definitely one of those I'll visit again. Not sure if it was the bread, the sauce or what, but I can say it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The interior is a bit small, but cosy. There's only one table. The service is really friendly, too.
Best Sandwich I have had in Montreal. Olive was good but a bit pricy but this place is amazing!! We had Muffuleta & Porchetta, both were delicious. Perfect balance with the bread - all fresh ingredients in warm breads with the hint of spicy oil? Wanted to try everything but I only had one stomach. Will definitely come back!!
Dec2024 Located within the small alleys of the Old Town fringe & following the culinary love of Montreal smoked meats is this small deli atyle sandwich shop with a hip & bright persona. The sandwiches are a wonderful set of carefully crafted combinations of meats, relishes, sauces & toppings wrapped in a crusty & crisp envelope of bread. Arguably the best sandwich I have had in our brief visit. The staff are young, informative & very helpful to recommend. The place is virbrant, clean & feels welcoming. Only drawback are the limited seating options & small space, but then again this is the suitable scale of this charming place. Ideal for short meals & small groups only.
These sandwiches are perfect! The fresh ingredients, amazing combination of flavours, & the high quality bread! We made sure to eat here twice on our 4-day trip :)

I'm kind of surprised Ciccio's doesn't have a 5 star average as I write this but I'm certain that it will only be a matter of time because this place is perfect. The bread, the fresh meats, vegetables & cheeses. Please try a dessert & stay a little while in the enjoyable atmosphere & very pleasant staff. WOW!
I should've taken a picture but I ate it so fast, this sandwich is BY FAR the best I've ever had & the bread is so delicious. I always want a sweet treat so I ordered a tiramisu & it was perfect just the perfect consistency of smoothness & sweetness. 10/10
Great Italian sandwich in Old Montreal. Very welcoming vibe - elements gave it a modern old school diner feel with a bright atmosphere. Staff were very friendly. Ordered the caprese sandwich & it was excellent. All the ingredients tasted fresh & premium. Loved the fresh mozzarella & prosciutto that paired very nice with the Pesto. The bread was also really good. It had some crunch but was soft so it was not hard to bite. Overall, everything just went so well together. Would definitely go back to try another sandwich & a drink.

Was skeptical at first since i really wanted a focaccia sandwich, spoke with one of the guys that works there (who turned out to be the owner) & explained to me how they make the sandwich & bake their own bread. Decided to give the Muffuletta a try & I was blown away with the quality of ingredients they use & the delicious taste! Will definitely go back & try their desserts as well!
Enjoyed a light lunch here on a busy Saturday with sandwiches & coffees. Great sandwich bread! Overall, everything was very tasty. Good quality coffee. Service is very good. The place, including the bathroom, is clean. Very nice, uplifting vibe with the orange colour theme. Recommend.
Their Italian sandwiches are to die for, burnt & full of Italian passion. 8 inches of baked bread filled with meat & cheese, with exclusive sauce, perfect to stimulate the taste of ingredients, really delicious
tuna sandwich! Mediterranean flavours & toasted sesame bread. fantastic. the owner served us, answered our questions & was really fun. happy anniversary on the shop!!
A great find in the Old Port. It's a stylish place with friendly service & good vibes. The Jules salad was an inventive take on Caesar Salad with raw broccoli mixed with a super tasty dressing. The sandwiches are great made on what must be homemade bread. Will be back.
Every time I visit I cannot believe how perfect this sandwich tastes. It makes me feel grateful & happy so much that I want to kiss my sandwich. The bread is fluffy & crusty & the combination of ingredients is a true blessing. It is good. Staff is on point, they are always friendly, efficient & i always have a good laugh. Thanks for making me feel at home whatever the day it is.
We stumbled upon the very positive reviews for Ciccio's when looking for a place to grab a quick lunch near our accommodations in Old Montreal. We were not disappointed. We tried the "TACCHINO" & "TONNO" & both were delicious. While the sandwiches ingredients were fantastic in their own right, the freshly baked bread really stood out. I will certainly be visiting again next time I am in Montreal. I'd recommend Ciccio's to anyone looking for a quick & delicious lunch in the area. While the online ordering system was easy to use & very efficient, upon arriving for pickup we did still have to wait in the main ordering line to pickup our sandwiches. This took about eight minutes. My one point of feedback would be to make it a bit easier for online orders to come in & quickly pickup an order when ready.
