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.
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.
Ciccio's is all about getting back to basics-with real style. The quality of the food stands out right away. The vibe is awesome, & the staff are super chill & friendly.
You have to try the porchetta-thin slices of perfectly seasoned pork roast, fresh cheese, & their signature mayo. It's seriously delicious.
We got this food delivered to our hotel whilst visiting Montreal & couldn't be happier. The breast was crispy & tasty & all the ingredients fresh. Very very happy with this find!
Just go to this place & enjoy all the fresh ingredients. Got the muffuleta sandwich, I mean man that was fantastic. All the fresh deli & the sauce & the mozzarella, 10/10
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!
