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.

Milking attendance by flaunting one line Celine Dion had about that place 30 years ago is old. The staff is great, the venue clean, but the food very ordinary. No cheese plate on the menu, no tiramisu. Fondue au fromage is NOT deep fried cheese. The veal was meh & the spaghetti not made on site. I can cook that.

We arrived just as the kitchen was closing. The server checked & we were seated & allowed to order. I had veal tortellini & my husband had spaghetti with meat sauce. The tortellini's flavor was incredible- fresh sauted scallions & the perfect amount of garlic added to the cream & tomato to blend the perfect sauce. The spaghetti sauce was light & flavorful. That meat sauce was some of the best my husband & I have ever eaten. The atmosphere was cozy & romantic & service was excellent.

Really enjoyed our dinner here! It's a little farther away from Old Quebec (but still easy to get to), so it feels a lot more local & not as touristy. We called the night before to make a reservation - would recommend this as the restaurant isn't particularly big, & was full when we were there on a Saturday night. We ordered from the table d'hôte set menu - escargot with pernod & puff pastry, vegetable soup, cannelloni, & cheesecake. We also ordered a veal scaloppine with mustard & green pepper sauce which comes with pasta. Everything was super tasty, we particularly liked the escargot, veal & cannelloni. Portion sizes are quite large, & food comes out quickly. Great service as well!

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).

Pleasant warm interior. Excellent service. Veal scallopini with mustard sauce with vegetables was beautifully made. Creme brûlée was cool & standard. Reasonable price.
