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.
Sandwich was to die for. Bread was fresh & crisp. Muffuletta with mortadella & salami just pure flavour town. I do feel that customer facing staff should be more warm & inviting. Highly recommend!
Me & my grandma were visiting Montreal for the day when we came to Ciccos for lunch, & it was very good. I got a sandwich with prosciutto, mozzarella, & tomatos, & my grandma can't remember what she got & both were 10/10! These sanwiches are a bit more expensive but you can tell the bread & ingredients are fresh & high quality! I saw them cut the prosciutto with a slicer. Not speaking French was not a problem & it's a cute & aesthetically pleasing inside. The seating area outside is also nice. Overall it was a nice experience & I'd come back for sure!
The atmosphere is a very cafe style. The servers were friendly. The food was tasty but they lack a huge thing missing is a GF bread option. Being in Montreal should be easy to have a GF option for the Celiac.

First time visiting this place from Toronto. Recommended by a friend. Worth every minute & $ spent. Loved the retro design of the place & the menu options. We ordered the muffuletta which was incredible! Highly recommend this spot!
Les sandwich sont bons sans être exceptionnels ou vraiment remarquables en comparaison à d'autres commerces du même type. Le service est toujours impeccable par contre. Un bon arrêt pour un dîner rapide dans le coin, mais ne justifie pas un détour pour s'y rendre à mon avis.

I discovered Ciccio's through Google Maps & was intrigued by the solid 5-star rating-& it absolutely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere is cozy & inviting, though seating is limited, so expect it to be busy. That said, the constant flow of customers just proves how popular (& worth it) this spot is.
We ordered sandwiches, & they came out quickly & were absolutely delicious-fresh, flavorful, & satisfying. Service was efficient despite the rush, & the whole vibe felt welcoming & energetic.
A great find! I'll definitely be coming back & recommending it to friends.
