Ciccio Café in Québec City

For a gourmet meal alone, as a couple or in a group, this Italian restaurant is a must. Warm, courteous and attentive service, wonderfully prepared pasta in an intimate and frankly well decorated place.

Super good, welcoming but with half an hour to go we feel that we are too many

best tiramisu in town

Very good Italian restaurant with more than reasonable prices. Good service. The fettuccine Alfredo is excellent!!

A very nice evening in a warm setting. The prices are really fair and the quality is there. We really like this restaurant and will definitely come back.

What a disappointment! Firstly they brought me the wrong dish. I mentioned it to the waiter who left with the plate only to come back a few seconds later offering me the same plate and telling me that it would take a long time to make another plate. In order to be able to eat at the same time as my guests, I accepted the plate that I had not ordered. Not even a we re sorry. Nothing! Not a word from anyone! And to make matters worse, it was very ordinary on the plate. Same thing for my 4 other table partners. For dessert, a decent but very dry tiramisu. I would have tried this restaurant but hey Sometimes we make mistakes!

Outstanding service and an exceptional dining experience. The mustard veal paired with pasta was truly extraordinary an absolute delight. Highly recommend it!

Excellent food

Seafood Linguini & Sorbet

Warm welcome and very pleasant atmosphere! Delicious !

We went for dinner after a corporate event. There were 4 of us and we had reservations. The food is excellent and the service second to none. We all enjoyed it. Highly recommended!

One of my favorite places for a quiet meal when in Quebec city. Excellent food in a quaint atmosphere. 2024 Update: still a favorite!

Dietary restrictions: Ils ont des pâtes sans gluten wow Food

Beautifully good and very affordable for the quality of food.

Wonderful experience. Very good food but exceptional service. Save room for dessert.

Pleasant restaurant for an evening with friends. Not noisy. Reasonable bill

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

Excellent service Lovely staff And what about the food?

Such good food away from the fuzz and buzz by the more touristic streets. Fair prices and value for money which I cannot say about Grand Allé restaurants

Warm welcome, impeccable service, inspiring menu and delicious food. Very good value for money. We will go back! Parking: You have to park on the street.

Excellent little restaurant that we go to quite often. The service is provided by professional people and the food is of excellent quality. Prices are still affordable

Restaurant sympathique mais je suis un peu déçu qu il n y ait pas de tiramisu dans un restaurant qui se veut typiquement italien. Les carbonara étaient ok sans plus, le veau marsala aussi. La crème brûlée moins bonne c est un restaurant en dehors de l achalandage touristique ce qui est bien. Bon service, mais côté ambiance pas top disons que tu manges et tu pars!

We ordered pasta which was great and the mousse trois chocolate cake which took us straight to heaven, so so good. Rosetta served us so well :) Food

Excellent service! Servers were very attentive. They bring you bread to start, but we also ordered the cheese appetizer. We split a bottle of the red house wine to drink. I had a caesar salad, and my husband ordered the smoked salmon fettuccine. We shared our dishes. The servers would stop by to refill your water and wine glass often. They also add fresh pepper to your plate. We used what little French we could always important in my opinion. But we were able to get by just fine ordering in English. The menu is in both languages.

It was perfect from start to finish. Very good service, excellent meal and a lovely atmosphere. In addition, I find the price-quality ratio incredible. I highly recommend!

To discover, good value for money

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

In addition to an excellent meal. What I notice the most is the service. More than three people showed up at our table to serve us or inquire about our wishes.

Very good Italian restaurant, not disappointed with my spaghetti carbonara. It is better to reserve

First time calm good atmosphere it was perfect after 36 years they are not based

Amazing dinner! Everything we had was wonderful! Would definitely go back!

Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo for the Win!

Best service I ve had in Quebec City. The servers seemed genuinely happy to be there, they were so quick to fill and refill our waters, and they checked on us often to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious; the portion sizes were perfect! Everything was so reasonably priced. This is definitely a place we will be back to over and over when we visit the city! Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Such a great place! Cozy interior, excellent service, fantastic food.

Great discovery near the FEQ. Impeccable service, warm atmosphere and excellent meal.

Amazing!

Excellent service, delicious house wine, great portions.

A restaurant to discover, beautiful atmosphere, attractive price, great service, still very good

Came across this restaurant by chance while walking the streets of Quebec. The storefront doesnt look much, but looking at the menu and the reviews on the internet, were tempted. Very good and plentiful dishes (which is rare these days). The service is welcoming and warm. Slightly a little too cold with air conditioning

Very good restaurant, great discovery for me! Our dishes were all excellent and the service impeccable.

Excellent Italian restaurant. Smoked samon with Armagnac, escalope parmigiana. Very good selection of wine.

Thank you for the excellent service and for your tasty dishes! We had a very nice evening!

This is our 2nd visit and Ill be reserving a table for July. We love this place so much that on our 2nd visit, I ordered the same dish again and my wife did the same. The Scaloppine Parmigiana is amazing! Were going to try to order something off the Pasta menu next. Thank you! Spumoni was perfect ending!

Very good evening, we ate copiously well, the service was top notch! We recommend this Italian with pleasure ;)

THANKS ! What a beautiful evening! Tasty, unpretentious meal, attentive service, special thanks to the young man who served us! We will definitely come back, in more numbers! Thank you for this good time :)

Excellent service, very attentive waiter, lovely atmosphere. Very friendly owner. I recommend the Linguini Ciccio

Excellent service, magnificent food

Superb service, excellent food, good value for money.

Great find in Quebec City. Took my family of 5 (kids are mid teens - early 20 s) for dinner last minute. Called at open had reservation at 7:45. Atmosphere is lovely and dining room is not large. Background noise was minimal which allowed all of us to share in conversation. Service was impeccable, 5 stars plus. Great selection of food, and everyone was happy with what they had. Food was above average and price point was excellent. Will come back on our next visit.

Such a beautiful little place!!! It s a really intimate place and the atmosphere is wonderful. The staff was very attentive and attentive. I recommend x10000.

Superb experience in this restaurant, the food was exquisite, and the service incredible. A must if you want to have a good evening in Quebec City!

Nothing to say, small restaurant with a good atmosphere

Truly one of our best favorite restaurants

Truly a superb discovery which was recommended to me by a friend!

Wow! A great discovery! Delicious dish and exceptional service! We cant wait to go back!

Everything was great except the underwhelming pasta. 10 small tortelini covered in a huge amount of bland sauce for 24$ Girlfriends pasta had a lot more but tasted like a frozen dish too. Im kinda surprised after reading the positive reviews on here.

This restaurant offers perfect quality of service!!! Thanks to the team for the excellent service!

Pleasant atmosphere, without too much noise. The food is excellent and the menu is very varied. The price is much lower than other lower quality places.

A classic style Italian Bistro/trattoria, the food is great and the service was the highlight, prompt and 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)and the Scalopini Di parmagiana (the veal too thin for the crust).

Homemade sauce was very excellent!! Very kind and respectful, very fast service I recommend!!!

The table d hôte for $37 is a real charm! This includes: 1. A starter of your choice (I took the melted cheese cubes and my partner the snails). 2. Soup of the day (vegetable soup) 3. Pasta duo (Spaguetti with Rosée sauce and Penne with tomato 4. Crème brulée and my partner had the chocolate profiteroles. I give a score of 10 out of 10 for the quality of the food, the very personalized service and the Italian culture that permeates us.

Excellent service with a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend reservations as the place was packed when we got there for dinner. This was one of the most delicious Italian meals we have ever had.

Great and cozy pasta place! Super affordable, would recommend.

Wine selection is good and reasonably priced. Meal was fantastic. From salad, soup, all the way to dessert, all very good. Would recommend to anyone coming to the area. Kids were very happy with the food, especially the dessert chocolate mousse cake and ice-cream. Parking: Parking across the road on slope need special attention.

Personally, I have visited this restaurant at least 30 times. Family atmosphere, the owners are present. This restaurant has existed for several decades, it is definitely a MUST. Lots of class, the music is perfect. Its not too strong and its appropriate. The waiter knows how to guide us to the right wine. I recommend the lemon pasta . You think the ones you make are good, I challenge you to make better ones. Amazing. Not a family restaurant though.

This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend, and the staff, the high quality of the food, the atmosphere, the wine list and the prices confirm that my friend knows my expectations for a high-end restaurant. I will come back to this restaurant with pleasure!

A wonderful intimate dining experience

All simply excellent

I ordered Spaghetti Al Ragú and sugar tart. The pasta was a big portion and I only finished half. The flavor was not extraordinary but decent. The bread had two types and were also very good. The sugar tart had a strong maple flavor - love it. I m not a big fan of sweet tarts but maple flavor is really complex so I ll say yes! Overall, a good place for dinner. You ll feel satisfied.

Nice Italian Restaurant enjoyed my meal great service.

Excellent restaurant: the food was delicious, the service impeccable and not too expensive! A must try if you go to Quebec!

Lovely place. My 2 kids and I adore this place.

We loved our time spent at the restaurant. The food was tasty, the service impeccable. It is now one of my favorites in Quebec.

This restaurant was recommended to me. The person who took our order had not inquired at all about the composition of the table dhôte dishes. To one of my questions he replied: I don t know, I ll have to go ask! Tells me about the three cheese fondue but doesnt mention the cheeses that make it up! Parking: None. We have to find a space in the STREET.

Great food, good prices, great service as always!

A unique restaurant both for its food, its atmosphere, its always excellent service, warm welcome, everything is taken care of, we have loved this restaurant for several years big thank you Anita and the whole team for these pure joys... Everything is more than perfect, thank you

A great classic in the image of Italian cuisine. Simple, tasty & warm. A sure value!

Truly excellent, impeccable service.

Absolutely exceptional quality of service. Extraordinary quality of dishes. Worthy of my memories of Italy!!!! It s truly a must-see in Quebec!

The veal Marsala was quite a let down.

excellent service, warm atmosphere and excellent food and not expensive. Im going to do it again\

Excellent, I recommend the table d hôte, great choice, good price

Very good and excellent service.

Super service!

Very good service from all our servers. My pasta duo was good but not WOW. Excellent desserts

Amazing staff/service and food!! Highly recommend the veal! Cant give 6-stars, which is unfortunate!!

Everything is really good from starter to dessert. Duo of pasta, a delight.

Lovely Italian dinner with gracious waiters and delicious food. We had four different pasta dishes and all were generous servings and so fresh. My family highly recommends Ciccio Cafe.

Excellent bread!! Hubby and I loved our pastas, it was delicious. Also loved the cassata ice cream we ordered at the advice of our server. Vegetarian options: There is a decent variety of vegetarian options. I ordered the pasta with veggies, it was excellent

Outstanding food.

Excellent pasta dishes. Romantic atmosphere. Best service in town. Be back soon!!!

The service is simply second to none, I have no complaints. The professionalism of the servers is felt, it was a great experience.

Crowded but they took us in. Great pasta. Definitely would go back.

Excellent !

You ll like this choice. Walked easy 10 minutes from Hilton in opposite direction from busy tourist area to neighborhood restaurant. Staff was attentive, and friendly, not pushy for you to finish. Food was tasty and portioned right, dessert yummy. Enjoy!

The service was impeccable from start to finish and the staff were very kind and pleasant. All the dishes were very good. Great discovery!

Wow! The pasta dishes were excellent, the service impeccable and fast, the atmosphere superb. These days, service of this quality is rather rare. We will definitely come back during our next stay in Quebec!

Small neighborhood restaurant. The decor isnt necessarily up to date, but the food and service are exceptional. I would go back without hesitation. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free pasta available. Kid-friendliness: A few families present with children during our visit. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a step upon entering, accessibility through the main door is very difficult, if not impossible.

Food was great especially the steak. The salmon fish was not upto expectation so no points for that. The highlight was the dessert.

Perfect Italian restaurant.

Delicious for reasonable prices. Attentive waiters.

Great decor with 10/10 service, very attentive waiter, the cuisine is incredible, lots of flavors with a large choice on the menu, I recommend it to everyone, very affordable price for the quality..

Very good service,

Very honest Italian cuisine. I recommend!

Everything was excellent about this restaurant. The staff were friendly and super attentive. The food was amazing. I would definitely go there again if I ever visit Quebec City again. If youre in the mood for some good Italian then this is definitely the place.

Beautiful little restaurant with gourmet meals, a little pricey but worth it, the service is excellent.

We were there for the first time last night and it wont be the last. Impeccable service. All staff work as a team! The food was excellent. Best Italian restaurant we have eaten at. The price is very affordable, even at table d hôte :) Parking: Parking on nearby streets

This is the most delicious Italian restaurant we had during our family trip to Quebec. The cooking and service is done by older staff, and it is a restaurant preferred by locals (no tourists), with the best taste, friendliness, and cleanliness. Be sure to try it~

Super good little Italian restaurant! Good prices and a good portion! Impeccable service I will go back.

Hidden gem. The food was excellent. Within walking distance to hotel. Even on a busy night the staff was friendly and efficiant. We were not disapointed with this great find.

Excellent experience .. everything was good the starter, the main course and the dessert. We really really enjoyed our experience

Excellent dinner with friends, everything was perfect from the food to the service. I recommend it without hesitation. We found our rare pearl in Quebec. Thanks to the whole team.

A restaurant to visit. You sure would like it.

Really excellent meal, and very good to our kids. Strongly recommended.

Ate very well. Recommended.

I go back regularly and I am always very satisfied. Excellent value for money. Very nice place. Very clean. A high quality restaurant for a long time. Long live!

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

The tortellini came out the color of mac and cheese its flavour was that of Elmers glue ...my partner had fetticini alfredo it was also tasteless and not worth the price

Very good meals and services, I recommend.

My favorite restaurant in Quebec.

Food was delicious! Staff was very friendly.

This a great restaurant. What a great find for Italian food. The food and service were so good . What a great evening experience. Make sure to enjoy an appetizer and a glass of wine with your meal, amazing.

Very inexpensive, good service Does not compare to a real Italian restaurant. In my opinion, Ciccio Café is as Italian as La Casa Grecque is Greek. The decor has probably not been updated in 20 years and the decorations have no connection with Italy. Digital frames with photos of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, old-fashioned show posters, etc. The place is small, quite noisy, our tablecloth was dirty and so were our utensils. The service was very good, even a little too good. The servers dont have assigned tables, so we found ourselves with a server every three minutes. They made me taste the tartare before serving it to me. This is the first time this has happened to me. I told the waiter that I was happy with the taste, but I was running out of time. I had already waited about forty minutes. My girlfriend had a salmon pasta dish. Both of our dishes were loaded with sauce. My girlfriends dish looked like soup. However, I give 4 stars for the service, but especially for the price. This restaurant therefore falls into my new category: I m not disappointed, but I won t go back. »

Really good quality/price! $39 for the table d hôte. Its an excellent restaurant. The food and service were really good. I recommend

Good value for money! Its not homemade pasta, but the sauces are excellent and the staff is courteous!

A friendly place where the staff is attentive to customer needs The food is very good, the menu is varied and it s always a delight. Easy to park near the restaurant

A great time for dinner with friends. Great service. We loved our pasta dishes!

We had great time here. It s our favourite Italian restaurant in Quebec. Highly recommend!

Good Italian with quality cuisine. Correct service. A smile or two and a few words in Italian would be nice, if they are really Italian?

A service of extraordinary quality. Very clean and consistent dishes, the flavors reminded me of my weekends in Italy. With the table d hôte formula at around 35 dollars with starter, soup (excellent), main course, dessert add to that a cocktail we had a great time! Very casual, ideal for a romantic or family dinner without loud music in your ears.

Place was packed and the food was great! Make sure you call and make a reservation

The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. Beautiful evening. Thanks to the waiter who allowed us to finish our coffee even though it was closing time.

All the dishes were delicious but the eggplants would have benefited from cooking a little longer. Good selection of wines. Courteous, fast and professional service. Best to book during the summer period.

Fine Italian dining at a great price. The food and staff are amazing. Mercí!

Very good service and delicious pasta

For an Italian restaurant and based on previous reviews, I was expecting to have a better experience. The bread was cold and hard. The butter also. The appetizer was lacking, soggy and small for the price. After our wine came, our waiter disappeared. The food was mediocre. I ve never posted a google review before but felt this was warranted. Very disappointed.

Good food and good service

Food and service were both fantastic.

My favorite restaurant in Quebec for almost 30 years. Incomparable quality and price ratio! Warm atmosphere and impeccable service, I love this restaurant which I have recommended several times in my restaurant reviews on the radio. Try the matarbaks as a starter, a house classic, the pasta is delicious and the table dhôte including starter, soup or stew, meal, dessert ( profiteroles yum) and coffee for around $32 per person, a bargain for the quality of dishes. You feel at home with the same owner and the servers who have been the same for years. I go back every time I go to Quebec!

Great service. I had the veal parmigiana and crème brûlée desert! Would def come again.

Very attentive service and a delicious meal. We ordered the fried calamari and it was perfectly cooked. The clam linguini in white sauce just leaves you wanting more, and portions are right. You can t go wrong having a meal here.

Following a cancellation, we were offered a table. Despite a busy hour and a full restaurant, the service was fast and the staff were courteous. We had a good meal. We will go back. To advice Vegetarian options: Possibility of dairy-free dishes.

Small, friendly restaurant. Super good service. But Wow the food is great, it s delicious. I ate cannelloni as I had eaten for a long time. It was delicious.

Great service, delicious food and prices were cheaper than other Italian restaurants. Highly recommend

Excellent meal, the Bolognese pasta in the table dhôte pasta duo was particularly good. Overall food 5/5 and the service was just as good.

Fantastic in every way, amazing food, good value and exceptional service, nice ambiance. Even though it was busy you didnt feel cramped and could still easily speak to one another at the tables. If I lived in Quebec City Id come here all the time.

Very good services and food. Recommend the snail with cream sauce. Price is soooooo nice for this kind of environment ans services. A $34 meal, I got a entree, a soup, a pasta, and a dessert! Even the free bread is amazing! Wow!

Spending the week in Île dOrléans. We ve eaten here twice. What a gem! I had the Tagliatelle alla Boscaiola one evening and the Linguine Ciccio the second. My husband had Linguine with seafood and then the Ossobuco the next. All four dishes were excellent. Their pastas and sauces shine. Staff is experienced, professional and efficient. A well oiled machine!

Excellent food with friendly and attentive service. Good value for money. Ate there twice during our 6 night stay in Quebec and thoroughly enjoyed both evenings. Very popular with locals and away from the main tourist area which is a bonus! Highly recommended!

I was passing through during the pandemic in July 2021. As always, the quality and service were there. Homemade pasta and quality meats. One of the best Italian cuisine restaurants in Quebec. A must-see on Rue Claire Fontaine. Near the Delta Hotel. About 7 minutes walk.

Authentic fresh pasta that is delivered to the table piping hot.

Very friendly staff. Simple and refined Italian cuisine at the same time. Good plates of dough cooked to order. Cheaper than the tourist trap restaurants in the center of Quebec and even better. UHMMMMMM!

The restaurant is really classy where we were very well served!! The dishes are good and plentiful.

One of the oldest Italian restaurants in Quebec. Good classic cuisine. I particularly like the veal polpettes on buttered pasta.

Very good service, the servers take great care of you and starter, main course, dessert for $35 and everything was very good. I will return on my next visit to Quebec!

This was by far the best Italian food Ive had outside of Rome.

Excellent value for money. Excellent service!

Gluten-free products

Don t be fooled by this Italian restaurant. Without flavor or aroma it feels like a canteen. We had a starter and a main each, I had to send my dish back to the kitchen after the third bite. Run away.

A restaurant I visited by chance. The pasta is really delicious!! The atmosphere was very good too

Very good service and very good food. This is the 2nd time weve been there. We are not from Quebec City but we loved it the first time and wanted to go back and we will go back.

The restaurant closes at 10 p.m. We arrived around 8:45 p.m. and surprise, the kitchen was already closed. Especially since the waiter looked at us from head to toe before answering that. We came out of sports, we were hungry. Apparently, you have to be dressed stylish to eat in this restaurant and given the reviews, we did well to go elsewhere. I recommend that you go your way and go eat at Hobbit where the waitress welcomed us very well and served very well and the cuisine is visibly better in view of the comments here...

The food was nicely cooked, and it was flavourful enough. Nothing extraordinary at Ciccio though. You can expect a decent meal with balanced dishes, but nothing more and nothing less. The Fettucine Alfredo is really bland. It was the only dish we found that was hard to finish out of everything we tried here.

Great hospitality! Loved the ambiance and food tastes fantastic.

Excellent service, and amazing food, especially for that price ! Would recommend to anyone.

A restaurant with delicious pasta, quality service, excellent wine, a pleasant atmosphere and a very affordable price. I loved this restaurant!

The best food

The best Italian food and service is 10 food is ever expectation amazing food . Was our best Italian experience in Quebec .

If you want the best costumer service and delicious food this is the right place to visit.

Very good service Bland food Seasoned with disappointment Ate more successfully cooked pasta with much tastier sauce in many places. Anyway, that evening, I regretted my choice of restaurant.

Best restaurant in Quebec! Impeccable service.

Excellent good service I recommend bye

Amazing place. This is a no brainer.

This review will not do justice to the amazing experience here. The food was delicious and amazing. The staff so attentive and friendly. We had the perfect dinning experience here.

Exceptional food, but the service is even more exceptional and deserves more than five stars And this after more than ten visits. Best wishes

Decent service, exceptional meal with reasonable price. Spent 3 days in the city, tried as many fancy restaurants as I could, and this one brought me the most satisfaction.

Wow. This restaurant is a gem, a restaurant so charming youll feel spoiled. Hopefully you arrive hungry and go with the course set, every item is so satisfactory youll be wondering how come you never visited before. The service is so warm, the staff is mature and attentive and will make you feel welcome. The price/quality value is the best I have ever seen. This is at the moment my favor #1 restaurant and cant wait to go back.
