Across numerous reviews, Ciccio's stands out for incredibly fresh Italian sandwiches, especially the muffuletta with crusty warm bread and generously layered meats and cheeses, plus standout Caprese and porchetta options. The bread, ingredients, and the homemade ciccio sauce are repeatedly praised, as are desserts like pistachio tiramisu and the rosewater cheesecake. The vibe is cozy, retro, and welcoming, a neighborhood staple with a simple menu done exceptionally well, though seating can be limited and crowds can be busy, making takeout common. Service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, quick even when busy, with some comments about occasional variability in warmth; overall it feels like a reliable, beloved sandwich spot worth visiting for a quick bite or to share with friends.
I really love their breakfast sandwich, egg was fluffy & it is well seasoned. Their coffee was lovely as well. Will go back & try their other sandwiches. 💯

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.
Don't wait. Run. Run as fast you can. The whole space is incredible. Staff incredible. The food & coffee is hands down the best sandwiches I've had in the city. Bravo to the whole team.

The best sandwiches in Montreal, literally no way of being disappointed. I've tried a bunch of different things there & it's always fantastic. They also offer a large variety of coffees if you don't feel like eating. The people there are welcoming & friendly, especially Gian Paolo & Mahta, who makes the best cakes & muffins I've ever had. I simply can't recommend Ciccio's enough.
Little hole in the wall restaurants in the old port of Montreal that is a must try! Absolutely charming with its diner/Italian vibe & amazing sandwich 🥪 We went there with no expectation & had a lovely time sitting at the bar & savoring their small but very concise menu. Everything was great, we tasted 2 sandwich & the salad which both tasted fresh with a very good balance in the ingredients. The staff was lovely & friendly to everyone that came in & even if the place is tiny we didn't feel rushed in anyway to move or leave as soon as we were done (which is always a plus - A+++ attitude & customer service) Coffee was perfection & the pistachio tiramisu tasted exactly like the one I had in Malta 🇲🇹. Absolutely recommend this little gem 💎
Very impressed with the sandwiches I had, I got the breakfast sandwich which has to be one of the best I've had in a while because usually everywhere they make it is so greasy & I also got the muffuletta sandwich that was very good also. Pistachio tiramisu also was delightful, just a little too small of a portion. Coffee was good but would ask for an extra shot of espresso next time to taste the coffee more. Overall great & would be back!

Love this place for a quick coffee break. Their panini & coffee are really good. One thing worth noting is that they don't have a big seating area, but I personally don't mind it as i just grab what I get & eat it at work. I would definitely recommend this cozy place!
We popped into Ciccio's because we parked just across the street from it never learning about it before then. As we had just eaten we were able to order the signature sandwiches (though from the menu options they looked really good). We did get a nice Italian style latte (I find Italian cafes serve the best coffee...light, smooth but still flavorful...& no bitter after taste) & a Pistachio Croissant which was excellent (I am not normally a fan of pistachio but this was light & tasty). There are not a lot of seats, a 4 person banquet & a window facing counter with 3 seats so plan to eat outside if you order something. Service was smart & friendly...as you'd expect from an Italian café. We'll be back to try the sandwiches soon enough...so watch for a follow up review. Enjoy!
An amazing new spot for brunch, lunch & dinner in the heart of the Old Port. The sandwiches & coffee are super delicious! But what makes this place truly amazing is the kind & welcoming staff & owner. We will for sure be back! Definitely order the pistaccino & Tacchino sandwich - promise, you won't regret it!
We heard about this location from a few good friends. We visited 2 times in the last 2 days, we are in for a vacation from south Florida & all I can say is WOW! The food, service, atmosphere was ALL fantastic! Pistachio coffee is a game changer! Highly recommend this shop & will definitely return on every trip back!
