We recently celebrated our engagement party at Il Cortile, & we cannot thank Dino, James, Mansour, & the entire team enough for making it an unforgettable evening. From the moment we arrived, the team took charge, providing exceptional support & service. The terrace setup was particularly stunning & truly elevated the experience. During the cocktail hour, the staff was attentive & proactive, ensuring our guests were never without a drink. The cocktail hour felt relaxed & enjoyable, with servers consistently offering hors d'oeuvres. Dinner service was equally impressive. The food was served promptly, with ample time between courses. The team was very mindful of the many dietary restrictions from some of our guests, which we greatly appreciated. Throughout the meal, the staff ensured that glasses were always filled & plates were promptly tidied. As we transitioned to the dancing & dessert portion, Mansour created a beautiful outdoor dessert table/dancing area. The staff continued to offer attentive service, allowing us to enjoy the evening. We wholeheartedly recommend Il Cortile for any event. The team exceeded our expectations & made our engagement party so special. Thank you again for everything-we will definitely be back!View more

James our server was such a sweet heart. He took care of us the whole night & made sure we always had enough of everything!! The place.. wow we dined outside in mid October & felt warm the whole night with the heaters close to us. I cannot say enough how the food was amazingly tasteful & fresh. Make sure you try the sea food pasta & don't forget about the carpaccio!! I hope you'll enjoy as much as we did!!View more

Absolutely stunning, European like courtyard to enjoy your meal in. The food was very delicious, fresh & authentic. The service however wasn't the most precise. But none the less we felt the place was great & would go back. We were there for a wedding this past weekend!View more

I was so excited to go eat there but what a disaster. 1. The service was really slow despite not being a full house. 2. The antipasti plate was delicious but the osso bucco was bland & flavourless. 3. Ambiance: None whatsoever. No background music. Manager was M.IA. Place was chaotic du to a group of people taking selfies , doing reels in the middle of the restaurant.View more

It is too expensive for what it offers. The osso-buco was not very tasty & the filet mignon looked more like sirloin & had fat. The location is really nice but we stop at that.View more

We had a group reservation for a birthday dinner in their courtyard & everything about the evening was amazing! Our waiter, I believe his name was Mansour, was very friendly & professional ! The drinks were great & the fixed menu was worth the price & offered a lot of different meals throughout the evening The terasse is beautiful & really is the highlight of the restaurant, definitely recommend eating outside while we still can! Thank you for a great evening!View more

Unique offering matched by very few in the city. The'courtyard' setting provides the euro vibe. A must for any summer or warm autumn date night. Classic Italian dishes prepared with personalized touch. All dishes fresh & savory. Grazie mille.View more
