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.
Great service, well-made fresh food, awesome old school vibe. The flavour & ingredients are fantastic, & the ladies helping us were helpful with suggestions & offered to cut our sandwich & pre-mix the salad knowing we were taking it for a picnic. Would definitely return!
I'm giving this first experience a 9 out of 10. I do wish that there was a little more value for the price but then again, this is an old port sandwich. & it's really tasty & the ingredients are fantastic. I really enjoyed. It's also not a comatose nap time sandwich either which is good or bad depending what you're looking for. definitely happy it's there & I would definitely return. Really beautiful space but get that merch rack out of the middle- it's annoying. Fold up the pieces & put it on the Pinterest mood rack mentioned in my videos 😉

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!
I am thoroughly impressed! The quality of their ingredients is fantastic. I took the prosciutto & moza panini as well as the eggplant parmigiana. Both were fresh & perfectly made. Very reminiscent of paninis straight from Italy! The only negative thing I have to say is in regards to their pistachio tiramisu. I'm sorry but $8 for two spoonfuls is insane. I included a photo to show the comparison to a spoon. On top of that, no pistachio taste was in sight. This is my only complaint! The staff was great, the spot was clean & nicely decorated. Overall, I would recommend for a visit!
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

Very high quality ingredients, wonderful atmosphere, staff is very friendly, excellent service! Our family of 3 had 3 different sandwiches - all were incredibly delicious. Food is top notch.
Ingredients in sandwich are perfect ration. Fresh ingredients, amazing flavour. Owner is super helpful & kind. Great atmosphere! Beautiful interior & good music. Overall great vibes!
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.
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 💎

Ordered take out! Their sandwiches are delicious. Everyone in the office Ordered a different sandwich & enjoyed it. On their online platforms, it would be nice to see the option to remove or add ingredients. On of my colleagues was not able to place an order because of allergies & not having the option to write a comment. Otherwise the sandwiches were excellent. Will love to see this place in person!
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.
I recently had the pleasure of lunching at this fantastic Italian sandwich restaurant. The menu boasts a delightful selection of mouthwatering sandwiches, each bursting with authentic flavors. From the fresh ingredients to the perfectly baked bread, every detail is meticulously crafted. The friendly staff enhances the overall lunching experience, making it a must-visit for any sandwich enthusiast. I highly recommend trying their signature sandwiches for a true taste of Italy! The Muffuletta 🤤
