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.
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.
Dec2024 Located within the small alleys of the Old Town fringe & following the culinary love of Montreal smoked meats is this small deli atyle sandwich shop with a hip & bright persona. The sandwiches are a wonderful set of carefully crafted combinations of meats, relishes, sauces & toppings wrapped in a crusty & crisp envelope of bread. Arguably the best sandwich I have had in our brief visit. The staff are young, informative & very helpful to recommend. The place is virbrant, clean & feels welcoming. Only drawback are the limited seating options & small space, but then again this is the suitable scale of this charming place. Ideal for short meals & small groups only.
These sandwiches are perfect! The fresh ingredients, amazing combination of flavours, & the high quality bread! We made sure to eat here twice on our 4-day trip :)
Cool location to grab a panini in the old port! Prices are what you would expect to pay for a sandwich in that location. Quality panini, would definitely go back! Love the vibe of the place as well. We had the muffuletta & porchetta (pictured). Muffuletta was my favourite but they are both very good.
I don't think I've ever had a better sandwich in my life (& I love sandwiches). I will be stopping in here without a doubt every time I am in the area (which isn't often but might be increasing because of this place). I had the smoked turkey & an out of body experience. 6 stars.
