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.
Merveilleux ! Avec ma cousine nous avons passé un moment très agréable tout était très très bon, c'est frais, gourmand & de très bonne qualité. Je suis de Lyon en France Paul Bocuse n'a qu'à bien se teni

I'm disappointed with the two last tonno panini's I've ordered in the past 6 months. The bread of the first one this year (February 2025) was charmed almost too burned to be eaten & it was missing flavour. The bread of the second one ordered today (June 2025), was too toasted - the kind that bruises the roof of your mouth. & again, it was lacking spices & taste. At almost $20 for a panini, no drinks or dessert added, I feel like the quality & taste of the paninis ordered lately have lowered… & that's a shame because they used to hit the spot.
I've had 4 sandwiches here. I had high expectations because of the hype & the price. Unfortunately, I don't think that the offerings are delivering flavor & experience that match the price point.
All the staff I have interacted with have been friendly. The orders are prepared at a good pace. I just want more from a $20 sandwich.

Ciccio, c'est notre café & SANDWICH coup de coeur. L'ambiance est chaleureuse, le café est toujours délicieux, & j'adore y aller avec mon copain. C'est devenu notre petit rituel à deux, un endroit où on prend le temps, on discute, on rigole…
Un vrai cocon où chaque moment partagé devient un bon souvenir. On y retourne toujours avec plaisir !
Magnifique petit resto & surtout excellente sandwich italienne avec ingrédients de qualités. Le staff est super gentil & accueillant.
nouvelle adresse sur McGill & tout aussi bon (muffuletta) & la créma di café est une merveille en bouche!
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.
