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.
it all starts with the bread.. this cozy shop has the warmest welcome. the approachable staff makes your meal taste even better. don't be shy to indulge on their homemade desserts, the rosewater cheesecake & the pistachio tiramisu are definitely worth any detour.
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!

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!
Such a cool spot! I wanted everything they had to offer. From the mouth watering sandwiches to the delicious pistachio tiramisu. Even got some cute socks! We had the muffeleta & the caprese - would recommend both!
I got their Muffuletta, cappuccino, & pistachio tiramisu & it was the best meal I had in Montreal. I'm a big fan of Italian sandwiches & their New Orleans version of this was truly phenomenal - crispy bread, just the right amount of preserved veggies, quality meats, & a thick slab of mozzarella (which is a slight ding in the aesthetics b/c I couldn't fit the sandwich in my mouth). I will spread the gospel of Ciccio's upon my return & pray they open in NYC.
As much as I hate to give it a 5, their muffaletta sandwich is beyond good. Seems a little pretentious but their stuff is the real deal. Tiramisu not amazing, enough for 2 people.
Awesome caprese sandwich & tiramisu. Though I was hoping stronger pistachio flavour in the tiramisu, it tasted lip-smacking nonetheless!! I was there were more sofas to sit & eat comfortable.
Omg. The sandwiches were amazing but the pistachio tiramisu was seriously the best tiramisu I've ever had. Staff was super friendly. Overall fantastic experience.
The sandwiches & desserts are fantastic. Pistachio cappuccino & tiramisu are freaking delicious. They even have dog treats to grab in the way out. Friendly staff & beautiful atmosphere & decor. Love the orange set-up - super cute place. A must try in the old port. Prices very reasonable.

New review!!! Wow, this place has impressed me with their improvements, proper sized tiramisu! The sandwiches have improved drastically! Better than Bossa easily Love it! Old review: Do not order the tiramisu, it comes in a tiny little Dixie cup & is at most the size for a child. Sandwich is good but nothing to rave about, too much mayo. Nothing compared to places like Bossa or Mano Figa. Cool looking place though, very nice atmosphere. They could easily improve by upgrading their sandwiches a bit. Place has potential.
If this isn't the best sandwhich place downtown Montreal, then I refuse to eat sandwhiches the rest of my life. A must try for all & don't forget to get the tiramisu as well, thank me later.
I should've taken a picture but I ate it so fast, this sandwich is BY FAR the best I've ever had & the bread is so delicious. I always want a sweet treat so I ordered a tiramisu & it was perfect just the perfect consistency of smoothness & sweetness. 10/10
