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.
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!
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.
Dommage qu'on n'écoute pas demande spéciale des clients. Puisque j'ai un bébé estomac ce sandwich est beaucoup trop gros. J'ai
Demandé demi sandwich avec les mêmes protéines à l'intérieur que je veux payer au plein prix. Demande catégoriquement refusée. J'ai du défaire mon sandwich & faire un dégât au comptoir. Je suis guide touristique & suis toujours à la recherche de petits commerces à encourager. C'est dommage les ingrédients étaient frais & bons.
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!

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!
Les sandwich sont bons sans être exceptionnels ou vraiment remarquables en comparaison à d'autres commerces du même type. Le service est toujours impeccable par contre. Un bon arrêt pour un dîner rapide dans le coin, mais ne justifie pas un détour pour s'y rendre à mon avis.
