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.
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.
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.
No the sandwiches are not cheap but they are authentic & beyond delicious. Staff is adorable & efficient. Great atmosphere & decor. I love the pantry items. You will not regret eating here
Great service, well-made fresh food, awesome old school vibe. The flavour & ingredients are fantastic, & the ladies helping us were helpful with suggestions & offered to cut our sandwich & pre-mix the salad knowing we were taking it for a picnic. Would definitely return!

I'm kind of surprised Ciccio's doesn't have a 5 star average as I write this but I'm certain that it will only be a matter of time because this place is perfect. The bread, the fresh meats, vegetables & cheeses. Please try a dessert & stay a little while in the enjoyable atmosphere & very pleasant staff. WOW!
Un endroit accueillant, malgré le fait qu'il n'y ai pas beaucoup de place à l'intérieur nous sommes toujours bien reçu & mangeons des produits frais pour un prix très On accessible dans le quartier du vieux port
Had a breakfast sandwich here & a pistaccino. Loved the pistaccino, although I wish the pistacchio flavor is more pronounced - looks like they coat the cup with pistacchio spread & then pour the capuccino. The breakfast sandwich was ok - nothing to write home about, but the salad in it gave it lots of flavor.
Wow their sandwhiches are actually worth the hype. The Muffuletta was mind blowing! Everything in the sandwhich was fresh & delicious. We'll be back next we visit Montreal.
