Review Summary

Ciccio Café is widely regarded as a charming, intimate destination that offers an authentic Italian dining experience away from the typical tourist crowds. Many patrons praise the restaurant for its high-quality, flavorful pasta dishes and generous portions, often highlighting the warm atmosphere and professional, attentive service. While the majority of guests consider it a local gem with excellent value, some recent experiences have noted inconsistencies in wait times, occasional issues with ingredient preparation, and discrepancies between advertised menu prices and the final bill. Despite these mixed remarks, the establishment remains a preferred choice for those seeking a tranquil, homemade meal in a welcoming setting.

It isn't possible to find Italian food of this quality in the US. The service was professional- they truly warranted a tip.

Great Italian eatery. Service was amazing as was the quality of the food. Away from the tourist areas but right across from the parliament.

By far, the best dining experience of our five days in Quebec. This small Italian bistro tucked on the outskirts of Old Quebec is worth the walk/ride/drive from *anywhere*. It's a formal dining experience in a comfortable & friendly atmosphere. The waiter's wine recommendation was perfect, the spaghetti carbonara was the best I've had, & my husband's fettuccine Alfredo justifies having Olive Garden remove it from their menu as an act of defeat. Then the bill came... & we read it twice to make sure they didn't miss our dessert. We've paid twice as much for half as good. 12/10 must visit.

A classic style Italian Bistro/trattoria, the food is great & the service was the highlight, prompt & quick, the only thing is the menus needs to be more detailed with the ingredients of each plate, we took the polpette di vitello (beautiful)& the Scalopini Di parmagiana (the veal too thin for the crust).
