Ciccio Sanwiccio

Decently good sandwich shop but nothing close to California Sandwiches or other independent Italian joints I’ve tried. But I’d come back if I had a craving, but I wouldn’t go out of my way.

Been here on numerous occasions. Generally quite good but lacking consistency. The concept is simple here: two Italian guys serving up classic Italian fare, with a focus on sandwiches.
I really do like the sandwiches here, they’re big and filled to the max. I will agree with some of the other posters in saying that it’s a bit pricey here. You have to be specific with them here as I’ve noticed they have the tendency to do what suits them in the moment. For instance, I like my bun toasted. Sometimes they stick it in the oven for a few seconds, or on the grill, or last week, they popped the entire sandwich in the Panini press (delicious).
Yes, I have had better. But I still enjoy this place for a quick bite on the rare occasion.

Veal sandwich is absolutely delicious. Enjoy it every time. Also recommend the sausage. The buns are fresh. Fast friendly service.

Came back and had the meatball. It was better than the veal, but still just ok. If you’re really craving an Italian-​style meatball sandwich, it’ll do in a pinch, but it’s definitely not a sandwich worth making an effort to get. I also find it very expensive for what you get.
The sandwich is $ 7.50 and toppings (cheese, mushrooms, hot or sweet peppers) are a dollar each. If you want a sandwich that’s more than just bread and meat, it adds up quickly. And again, the bread is boring.
They must make decent money because they can afford to pay 1 guys to sit around and watch 1 work. Perhaps their clientele just don’t know what they’re missing.
Maybe I’ll come back and try another sandwich some day. Sausage, maybe eggplant, but I’m definitely not making plans to any time soon.

Love this place. Traditional Italian dudes slinging traditional Italian sandwiches. Their veal and chicken parms are light and crispy. The buns are pillowy soft and have a great sauce on them. Haven’t tried the pastas, but the sandwich is a good option if you can’t make it out to California or Mustachio’s in St. Lawrence.

Introduced a year ago and try and go as much as possible. The veal sanwiccio is amazing, and I usually order it with spicy meat sauce (extra 2 $). Phenomenal. The meatball sandwich is also very good.

I eat here regularly and love the food. Large, juicy sandwiches with great flavour. I usually order the combo with soup as the option. I’m a huge fan of the pasta fagioli soup as it’s so hearty and tasty. The combo is a lot of food and very filling.

I stumbled into this place after walking around the neighbourhood with a friend of mine and realizing that I’d skipped lunch and was getting a little hungry. I didn’t want anything complicated, and seeing their pasta offerings I went for gnocci, because gnocci is, science has proven, awesome.
It was simple. And it was out fast. And it was absolutely delicious.
What else do I really need to tell you. Simple and quick and great.

Pasta fagioli (tomato bean soup), eggplant parmigiana sandwich WITH an extra grilled zucchini — my $ 10 combo set to die for!
I often been eating there when I lived nearby. Still have cravings…
Tip: when you want chicken and veggie sandwich, it’s cheaper to get chicken sandwich and add veggie (zucchini or eggplant) than to add chicken to veggie sandwich.

I used to work close by and I would always ALWAYS get their minestrone soup and chicken parm.
These guys are traditional, nice and super funny.
I will definitely go back and try other things.

I’ll willing to change my rating after I order something else.
Ordered the eggplant parmigiana.
Service was awesome, very Italian, but the sanwiccio itself was soggy and had only tomato sauce and some cheese. It took me two bites to realize that the ‘wich wasn’t for me.
I’d be interested in trying their minestrone soup or zuppa con fagioli (beans). Their salads looked fresh, tasty, well-​prepared, although neither their pasta nor their pasta sauce appeared to be anything special.

I have gotten into the habit of having only the occasional eggplant sandwiches from Mustachio’s in St. Lawrence Mkt. They have fried onion slices, green peppers, and deep fried eggplant that’s still crispy to the bite.

Ciccio Sanwiccio makes a pretty good standard veal sandwich: fried veal with your choice of peppers, mushrooms, and/​or provolone on a kaiser-​like bun. However, it still leaves something to be desired. The sandwich is pretty big and it’s hard for me to finish one by myself — and yet I find myself wishing there was more of each ingredient on it, just to send it over the top.
But I keep coming back here anyways, as it’s been my regular lunch spot for years with a friend who lives around the corner. It’s a cozy, homey space, great for a long and relaxed meal. We can sit here and gab for hours on end and the owners don’t mind (I think)!

I don’t know about other Ciccio locations but our group’s experience at this one was more thank A-​ok (3.5 stars)!
I tried the popular veal sandwich, and while the amount of meat did not come anywhere close to San Francesco’s (one measly cut), the overall sandwich tasted better (I’ll come back to this after a few more San Francesco’ses!).
Toppings of caramelized onions, halved mushrooms, and provolone made for a tasty sandwich that tasted very fresh.
Other sandwiches I tried, including smoked meat, and meatball were also good choices, with the eggplant parm looking very enticing as well! I have to say, on my next trip, my likely choice will be the smoked meat sandwich with an Italian twist, and sans jalapenos.
The Vodka Penne wasn’t all that impressive to me, but Bijan will have more to say about that.

Sandwiccio!!! …Sorry, it’s just fun to say.
There are a lot of restaurants in the area, but since I was grabbing a quick bite alone, this place was perfect for that.
A small sandwich shop, the owners are super friendly.
Everything is made with fresh ingredients and they have pasta specials that looked fabulous.
However, I decided to order a sandwiccio.
Again.because it’s fun to say.
The most popular is the veal (not a surprise).
$ 5.50 for the veal sandwiccio
+ $ 1.00 cheese
+ $ 1.00 mushrooms
Sandwiccio content distribution:
70% kaiser, 15% veal, 10% sauce, 2.5% cheese, 2.5% mushrooms
= tasty, fresh, too much bread, not enough baby cow.
I haven’t found another place in the area that is similar for quick eats, I’m sure I’ll revisit.
