Review Summary

Reviews describe Ciccio's as a cozy, retro Italian deli with a cafe-diner vibe, where fresh, flavorful sandwiches like the Muffuletta, Porchetta, Caprese, and Tacchino stand out alongside house made sauces and a pistachio tiramisu. The bread is praised for its crusty texture and the meats and cheeses are noted as high quality, with many comments that the Muffuletta may be the best sandwich in town. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as warm, charming, and welcoming, often with limited seating that makes it feel busy but lively. Service is frequently praised for friendliness and attentiveness, though a few notes mention long waits or small spaces. Coffee, desserts, and pastries are also well received, with pistachio tiramisu and cappuccino highlighted. Some reviewers say prices are high for the portion size, but most feel the quality justifies it and many would return or travel for more. Overall the place comes across as a must visit for Italian sandwiches in Montreal, especially for takeout or a quick bite in a retro setting in the Old Port area.

Small place with great tasting food, loved the Frank Sinatra.

I ate here in November on a rainy day. I won't dwell on the quality of the food, which wasn't bad (although, being Italian, I have eaten better panini in my life), but on the treatment I received. My plan was to eat there & stay to study for a bit, waiting for the rain to stop. I was not allow to do. Immediately after finishing my panini, about 15 minutes after arriving, I was asked from the one who seemed to be the owner of the place, to leave, even though the place wasn't so busy & outside was still raining.
I felt uncomfortable, I recommend the place only if you want to be treated rudely!!

I am sharing this review because the experience genuinely stayed with me. I visited the McGill location around 5:30 p.m. on Friday with my husband as a first-time customer & was unfamiliar with the menu. I asked a simple question about whether the bun contained sesame seeds & requested help choosing a basic sandwich.
The staff member was dismissive & unwilling to explain the menu or available options. While my husband does not have any allergy restrictions & could have ordered without issue, the overall service was so unwelcoming that it turned both of us off from ordering.
We ultimately decided to leave, which was disappointing. This was our first visit & will likely be our last. I am leaving this review so the next person does not have to experience the same lack of basic customer service. -1 sta

Had a great experience at Ciccio's. Shoutout to Monica & Matthew for their amazing hospitality. It was my first time meeting Matthew & he was very welcoming, & Monica as always was smiling & providing incredible service. The food was delicious & fresh, & the overall experience was excellent!

Hope management recognizes their hard work & great service. Highly recommend this place for anyone in Montreal looking for amazing sandwiches & friendly staff.

Saiya is incredible. She is always so kind, respectful, & hardworking, & she truly makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Her positive attitude & care for customers really stand out.

The food is great, but Saiya's service is what makes this place special. She deserves recognition for how consistently amazing she is (& honestly, a raise!). Highly recommend coming here!

The ladies that work here are wonderful, but the guy working the line has a real attitude problem. I told the nice girl at the front that I have a fish allergy & this guy barks up'I'm not making any guarantees.' Buddy, can you at least pretend that you care about your job? This was a few weeks ago so I hope he's been canned since then, but my advice to the owner is to be careful who you hire. This guy is a liability waiting to happen.

To the Ciccio's owners:
Absolutely amazing addition to Montreal. As a major experienced foodie, your bread is fresh, your sandwiches are tasty, your meat is freshly cut, & your drink options are awesome, you also make some very good coffee & hot chocolate! Nic at the downtown location is awesome. Sandwiches are always on par no matter the location. Glad you opened this & I hope you can keep the quality with time (seems to be a very hard & rare thing restaurants in Montreal can do).

My constructive criticism: some of your staff lack experience in the way they communicate or handle customers, which might impact your reputation. Maybe have someone that can lead & train them how to operate in this type of restaurant properly.

This review is for the royalmount location but since there's no page for it yet, I'll just write here. Porchetta sandwich is an absolute joke. Since when is porchetta ice cold slices of cold cut? They also let a woman change her babies diaper on a table in the resto….Poor people who will be eating on that table later…Safe to say i won't be eating here ever again.

An adorable diner/café vibe with great flavours for a reasonable cost. The staff were all incredibly kind despite my family arriving about 10 minutes til closing. Would 1000% recommend coming here for a sandwich or simply just the atmosphere!
