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.
Ciccio's is a great little spot for coffee & sandwiches. The coffee is smooth & well-made, & the sandwich options are fresh, generous, & perfect for a quick lunch (lots of variety, from classic deli-style to more creative combos). Service is friendly & fast, & the vibe is casual & welcoming-easy to pop in & leave happy. Definitely a reliable go-to when you want a solid coffee + sandwich combo.
Hands down the best sandwich I've ever had!
The ingredients were so tasty & excellent quality. Bread was nice & crunchy from the outside but soft & fresh from the inside.
If you're in Montreal & love a truly great sandwich, Ciccios Sandwiches is an absolute gem.
Everything is made with care - from the perfectly fresh bread to the high-quality meats, cheeses, & toppings that are layered generously without overwhelming the flavors. Every bite tastes balanced, fresh, & thoughtfully crafted. You can tell they don't cut corners.
The vibe is welcoming & unpretentious, the kind of neighborhood spot you instantly want to become a regular at. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or bringing friends to show off one of Montreal's best sandwich spots, Ciccios never disappoints. It's simple food done exceptionally well - & that's what makes it unforgettable.
Had a great experience at Ciccio's. Shoutout to Monica & Matthew for their amazing hospitality. It was my first time meeting Matthew & he was very welcoming, & Monica as always was smiling & providing incredible service. The food was delicious & fresh, & the overall experience was excellent!
Hope management recognizes their hard work & great service. Highly recommend this place for anyone in Montreal looking for amazing sandwiches & friendly staff.

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.
An absolutely fantastic establishment with kind, friendly, & helpful employees…quaint & cozy location & the sandwiches are beyond delicious…toasted sesame bread, divine meat, fresh veggies, & the most addicting bomba sauce…I will unfortunately compare any future sandwiches to their stellar offerings…it made such a lasting impression…I can't recommend this spot more for a casual, but top tier meal!!! P.S., a year later the sandwiches still linger in our minds…so delicious & unforgettable that we are taking an 8 hour round trip day trip from Massachusetts to Ciccios to relive the experience…we can't wait & we will definitely be taking some extra sandwiches to go! They are the best!!!❤? We made it back & the sandwiches are still beyond delicious & the staff is still super friendly & inviting…if the opportunity arises again, we will make the trip back from Florida!😂. Thank you for making one of the best sandwiches we have ever had!
Now that's a sandwich!! Ordered the frank Sinatra today & it was 10/10, so fresh & full of flavor. The cookies were to die for as well!
Service was friendly & quick. Definitely suggest to anyone looking for an amazing sandwich!

Super fresh sandwiches. I feel it was one of mtl's best kept secret. Now one downtown, well deserved. The one on the old port with your lady or friends/family visiting, is a no-miss.
Sandwich was to die for. Bread was fresh & crisp. Muffuletta with mortadella & salami just pure flavour town. I do feel that customer facing staff should be more warm & inviting. Highly recommend!

Me & my grandma were visiting Montreal for the day when we came to Ciccos for lunch, & it was very good. I got a sandwich with prosciutto, mozzarella, & tomatos, & my grandma can't remember what she got & both were 10/10! These sanwiches are a bit more expensive but you can tell the bread & ingredients are fresh & high quality! I saw them cut the prosciutto with a slicer. Not speaking French was not a problem & it's a cute & aesthetically pleasing inside. The seating area outside is also nice. Overall it was a nice experience & I'd come back for sure!
I discovered Ciccio's through Google Maps & was intrigued by the solid 5-star rating-& it absolutely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere is cozy & inviting, though seating is limited, so expect it to be busy. That said, the constant flow of customers just proves how popular (& worth it) this spot is.
We ordered sandwiches, & they came out quickly & were absolutely delicious-fresh, flavorful, & satisfying. Service was efficient despite the rush, & the whole vibe felt welcoming & energetic.
A great find! I'll definitely be coming back & recommending it to friends.
