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 best sandwiches in Montreal, literally no way of being disappointed. I've tried a bunch of different things there & it's always fantastic. They also offer a large variety of coffees if you don't feel like eating. The people there are welcoming & friendly, especially Gian Paolo & Mahta, who makes the best cakes & muffins I've ever had. I simply can't recommend Ciccio's enough.
Little hole in the wall restaurants in the old port of Montreal that is a must try! Absolutely charming with its diner/Italian vibe & amazing sandwich 🥪 We went there with no expectation & had a lovely time sitting at the bar & savoring their small but very concise menu. Everything was great, we tasted 2 sandwich & the salad which both tasted fresh with a very good balance in the ingredients. The staff was lovely & friendly to everyone that came in & even if the place is tiny we didn't feel rushed in anyway to move or leave as soon as we were done (which is always a plus - A+++ attitude & customer service) Coffee was perfection & the pistachio tiramisu tasted exactly like the one I had in Malta 🇲🇹. Absolutely recommend this little gem 💎
Ordered take out! Their sandwiches are delicious. Everyone in the office Ordered a different sandwich & enjoyed it. On their online platforms, it would be nice to see the option to remove or add ingredients. On of my colleagues was not able to place an order because of allergies & not having the option to write a comment. Otherwise the sandwiches were excellent. Will love to see this place in person!
Ciccio's is an authentic Italian deli with a great choice of original sandwiches & salads. Beautifully designed (great 50s-60s vibe), the service is always top notch. You can also order take out for your meetings & events.
Very impressed with the sandwiches I had, I got the breakfast sandwich which has to be one of the best I've had in a while because usually everywhere they make it is so greasy & I also got the muffuletta sandwich that was very good also. Pistachio tiramisu also was delightful, just a little too small of a portion. Coffee was good but would ask for an extra shot of espresso next time to taste the coffee more. Overall great & would be back!
Love this place for a quick coffee break. Their panini & coffee are really good. One thing worth noting is that they don't have a big seating area, but I personally don't mind it as i just grab what I get & eat it at work. I would definitely recommend this cozy place!

Petite sandwitchrie à l'italienne que je recommande à tout le monde ! Service amical & rapide. Le meilleur café que j'ai jamais bu. Nous avons pris le tacchino & le porchetta un vrai délice !
We stumbled upon the very positive reviews for Ciccio's when looking for a place to grab a quick lunch near our accommodations in Old Montreal. We were not disappointed. We tried the "TACCHINO" & "TONNO" & both were delicious. While the sandwiches ingredients were fantastic in their own right, the freshly baked bread really stood out. I will certainly be visiting again next time I am in Montreal. I'd recommend Ciccio's to anyone looking for a quick & delicious lunch in the area. While the online ordering system was easy to use & very efficient, upon arriving for pickup we did still have to wait in the main ordering line to pickup our sandwiches. This took about eight minutes. My one point of feedback would be to make it a bit easier for online orders to come in & quickly pickup an order when ready.

I recently had the pleasure of lunching at this fantastic Italian sandwich restaurant. The menu boasts a delightful selection of mouthwatering sandwiches, each bursting with authentic flavors. From the fresh ingredients to the perfectly baked bread, every detail is meticulously crafted. The friendly staff enhances the overall lunching experience, making it a must-visit for any sandwich enthusiast. I highly recommend trying their signature sandwiches for a true taste of Italy! The Muffuletta 🤤
Ordered for delivery. We had the Tacchino & Mufuletta. Decent portions & crisp bread. Price is similar to other sandwich shops. Although the sandwiches were good, we do prefer the other Italian sandwiches offered on the island flavor-wise.
Walked in impromptu. Grabbed a sandwich one day (tonno, delicious) & macchiato the next day. Excellent service, passionate owner, good energy & atmosphere. Can't go wrong!
We popped into Ciccio's because we parked just across the street from it never learning about it before then. As we had just eaten we were able to order the signature sandwiches (though from the menu options they looked really good). We did get a nice Italian style latte (I find Italian cafes serve the best coffee...light, smooth but still flavorful...& no bitter after taste) & a Pistachio Croissant which was excellent (I am not normally a fan of pistachio but this was light & tasty). There are not a lot of seats, a 4 person banquet & a window facing counter with 3 seats so plan to eat outside if you order something. Service was smart & friendly...as you'd expect from an Italian café. We'll be back to try the sandwiches soon enough...so watch for a follow up review. Enjoy!
