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.
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!
I ate here in November on a rainy day. I won't dwell on the quality of the food, which wasn't bad (although, being Italian, I have eaten better panini in my life), but on the treatment I received. My plan was to eat there & stay to study for a bit, waiting for the rain to stop. I was not allow to do. Immediately after finishing my panini, about 15 minutes after arriving, I was asked from the one who seemed to be the owner of the place, to leave, even though the place wasn't so busy & outside was still raining.
I felt uncomfortable, I recommend the place only if you want to be treated rudely!!
Une magnifique découverte ! Nous n'avions pas planifié une visite au Ciccio's mais nous ne le regrettons pas. C'était délicieux, tout simplement. Nous avons partagé deux sandwichs & ils étaient fraîchement préparés, excellents, rien à redire. L'accueil fut très chaleureux, typique de Montréal selon notre expérience jusqu'à maintenant ☺? Je recommande vivement !
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.
Saiya is incredible. She is always so kind, respectful, & hardworking, & she truly makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Her positive attitude & care for customers really stand out.
The food is great, but Saiya's service is what makes this place special. She deserves recognition for how consistently amazing she is (& honestly, a raise!). Highly recommend coming here!

An adorable diner/café vibe with great flavours for a reasonable cost. The staff were all incredibly kind despite my family arriving about 10 minutes til closing. Would 1000% recommend coming here for a sandwich or simply just the atmosphere!
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!
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!
I tried the porchetta sandwich & it was delicious. It was juicy & well seasoned (with a perfect balance of herbs & salt) & the bread had a great texture, crispy on the outside & soft inside. All the flavors came together really well. Definitely worth it. 100% recommended.
Super sandwich savoureux! L'intérieur est très bien décoré & le personnel aimable. Ma conjointe n'ayons pas eu beaucoup d'options, je me dois de laisser un 4, mis à part ça je recommande!
I was pleasantly surprised by how cozy & retro the restaurant feels. The sandwiches were really tasty, & the salad was superb! Service felt a little bit off, but the rest outweighted it.
Totally recommended if you're around the Old Port.

Excellent sandwich, belle ambiance chaleureuse !! À mon avis le sandwich Muffuletta est sans aucun doute le meilleur. Je recommande le resto du vieux Montréal ainsi que celui du centre-ville sans hésitation☺?
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!
First time visiting this place from Toronto. Recommended by a friend. Worth every minute & $ spent. Loved the retro design of the place & the menu options. We ordered the muffuletta which was incredible! Highly recommend this spot!
