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.
Ciccio's is a great little spot for coffee & sandwiches. The coffee is smooth & well-made, & the sandwich options are fresh, generous, & perfect for a quick lunch (lots of variety, from classic deli-style to more creative combos). Service is friendly & fast, & the vibe is casual & welcoming-easy to pop in & leave happy. Definitely a reliable go-to when you want a solid coffee + sandwich combo.
Went at a non-busy time & they still forgot my order. In addition, when I finally got my salad it was missing both the radicchio & endives advertised in the description - I work around the corner & have enjoyed the sandwiches before but will not be going back.
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!
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.
Amazingggg sandwiches! The best I have tried in the city. I got the muffuletta without eggplant & my friend got the classique. The muffuletta was our favourite as the bun was crunchy on the outside & soft on the inside topped with sesame seeds. You can definitely tell the ingredients are great quality. The meats inside gave such a great flavour & there was a bit of spiciness from the peppers & tad bit of sauce. The classique was the egg sandwich which we enjoyed too. It was topped with a soft bun & the egg was thick & soft. The workers were nice but could have been a little bit more welcoming. Overall, it was a great experience & would definitely return to try the rest of the menu or get the muffuletta again.
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.
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!
