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.
Best sandwiches in town. More Italian style. It's must try. Honestly i should keep this place a secret. I much place to sit as it is more of a take out place but if you're lucky you get can a booth. They also have great clothing.
Come here semi-regularly for the Muffuleta sandwich. The bread is crispy & delicious & the house mayo is perfection. The Muffuleta is a bit on the saltier side so if that bothers you, try the Primo.
They also make a great latte!

We saw on someone else's Google review that this was the best meal they had while in Montreal. Couldn't agree more! The most delicious sandwich I've ever had, which paired so well with a cold pop. The vibes & ambience of this store are both stunning & cozy. If you're visiting or a local, you gotta eat here!
Came here by pure accident on a trip from Toronto while we waited for our check-in time. Any time friends have visited since, we insist they come here! We've tried to recreate the muffuletta sandwich ourselves & it's simply not possible. Have yet to find a Toronto sandwich worthy of a comparison. The sandwiches, atmosphere, good people, decor, standards... the tiramisu? Forget about it. Enough is enough. Just booked another trip back. See you in December!
Fantastic, authentic Italian Deli. You'd have to travel to Rome to get a better sandwich, dessert or coffee. Excellent food, plus a neighborhood steeped old world charm. Perfetta service too!

We were about to go on a 5 hour train ride & got ourselves two sandwiches from Ciccio's to go. Seriously - you can't do better than that, they are delicious. We've had the parmigiana & the porchetta - perfectly balanced ingredients on a nice & crispy bun. I should have gotten an extra one !
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.
We saw this being mentioned by a YouTuber & this place did not disappoint! The sandwiches are amazing! Sorry forgot to take pics of them. The place is also so cute with a retro setting. Staff are friendly & they made the perfect suggestions. Unfortunately, the porchetta was sold out but we got the muffuletta, tonno, & capo. All of them were delicious & so flavourful. The bread is chewy & crispy. & the sizes of each sandwich was generous. Definitely will not be disappointed visiting here!
