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.
Really tasty sandwiches! Good selection & they cater for dietary requirements.
The bread is crusty & soft, a little warm, fillings are super generous & taste so good. There is some seating inside but when busy expect no space. Nice atmosphere to talk in while the staff are busy around you. Good coffee & would recommend as a great place to go for a bite!

To the Ciccio's owners:
Absolutely amazing addition to Montreal. As a major experienced foodie, your bread is fresh, your sandwiches are tasty, your meat is freshly cut, & your drink options are awesome, you also make some very good coffee & hot chocolate! Nic at the downtown location is awesome. Sandwiches are always on par no matter the location. Glad you opened this & I hope you can keep the quality with time (seems to be a very hard & rare thing restaurants in Montreal can do).
My constructive criticism: some of your staff lack experience in the way they communicate or handle customers, which might impact your reputation. Maybe have someone that can lead & train them how to operate in this type of restaurant properly.
Don't skip this hidden gem! As a coffee lover, this place is beyond perfect. Typically I don't particularly enjoy sandwiches but Not here. I had three different types of sandwiches & they were delicious 🤤! Can't wait to get them again.
We tried both types of Tiramisu & devoured them (traditional & Pistachio).
My children each enjoyed their sandwich that came from the recommendation from Martin.
We came here last year visiting Montreal & my daughter asked to return because it was memorable then & now.
The attentiveness & service is great! They're courteous & professional.
I recommend trying their products brought from Italy.
Merci beaucoup for the service & delivery of your goods!
Fantastic, authentic Italian Deli. You'd have to travel to Rome to get a better sandwich, dessert or coffee. Excellent food, plus a neighborhood steeped old world charm. Perfetta service too!

The perfect spot for a quick bite right in the historic old area of Montreal! I stopped here before catching my train, & I'm glad I did.
The staff here are wonderful, & the aesthetics of this sandwich shop are a modern old town feel with bright orange branding - I loved it!
I got the Primo sandwich & it was incredible. My favourite was the homemade ciccio sauce. It was similar to a mayo/butter but better!!! It had dill, slight garlic flavour & spices in it & the perfect amount of creaminess to balance out the lettuce, cheese & mortadella. You can tell the bread is also quality 🤌🏻
I'd definitely come back. Next time I plan to try the coffee as well because I've heard it was good & the espresso machine looked quality.
Un vero panino italiano! I was passing by & got caught by the cozy & charming place to only ecounter a great sandwich for breakfast & excellent coffee, the team at Ciccio's is very warming, not to mention the incredible taste & quality of the food, the muffuletta sandwich is something you should definitely try if you want to be transported to Italy.
