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.

Service TRÈS lent de notre serveuse initiale, heureusement que la serveuse avec le chignon est venu prendre le relais. Sinon le plat de Fettuccini Alfredo était passable mais sans rien de plus. Expérience tout de même désagréable.

Visited for dinner Aug 3 2025 with the family.
Some issues:
Took a VERY long time to receive our dinner. I think the wait for our food was close to 1hr.
All pasta dishes were under seasoned.
Waitress tried really hard to over sell the dishes. Portions were massive & could very easily be shared. We were told they were enough for one person. Lots of food went to waste.
Maybe they had an off night but definitely not worth the 4.7 rating.

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

The host seated us right by the door, which wasn't ideal given how many other open tables there were. However, I have to say, this was hands down the best pasta I've had in Canada!

I almost didn't post this as this was such a delightful locals place. After vacating for 10 days we are no emaciated & were wanting something lighter. We were seated & both quietly enjoyed the sound of our French speaking diners nearby…no English & it was very tranquil….then a large group with children arrived. ;)

One course only - I had Ciccio pasta & my wife had the walleye plate. Forgot to take food photos but it was excellent. Great service & eclectic music playlist. Wines by the glass or bottle. Few options but a great local beer. Full service bar - wife had martini.

Like Nina this is a must for us to return to on a future visit. Reservations are a good idea…we walked in without one.
