I met James, the kindest server ever, who made my 20th birthday a wonderful memory. Thank you James! & I recommand this place to everyone, the food is delicious.
We had a great time in this lovely resto. We got there when it wasn't busy so we enjoyed it. Food was amazing & reasonable price! We were also given free limoncello shots!
I had my engagement party here last summer & it was truly perfect. The staff was absolutely amazing & went above & beyond to help set everything up-moving tables, adjusting the layout, & accommodating every request to make sure the setup was exactly how I envisioned it.
The food was excellent & all of our guests loved both the dishes & the beautiful decor of the restaurant. Having the space closed just for us on a sunny Sunday lunch created the most relaxed, special vibe, & honestly, nothing could have been better.
A huge thank you to Dino & the entire team for making this such a memorable & flawless experience. We're so grateful!
A nice restaurant with an authentic Italian vibe. The food is very nice &, as someone who visits Italy often, very close to the authentic Italian cuisine. Our waiter James was very accommodating to our needs & friendly. Absolute must visit restaurant if you love genuine Itailan food!
I had an amazing birthday supper at this cozy hidden restaurant! I ordered fettuccine with shrimp & tomato sauce, & the chef's generous amount of shrimp made me really happy. For dessert, I had a cheesecake, & it was also delicious. Finally, I appreciate the server for being attentive & kind throughout the night, which made my experience at this restaurant unforgettable & I definitely would return. Thank you so much!!
I had a birthday dinner here for my friend, & the staff were incredibly warm & welcoming. The lasagna I had was amazing, & they added pepper & cheese at the table to our preferred amount, which was a lovely touch. I also had mango gelato, which was so nice & chewy just like real mango. Overall, both the meal & dessert were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was so cozy, & I'd love to come back in the summer to enjoy the terrace next time.
Tout était parfait. La nourriture & le service. J'y reviendrais sûrement l'été pour profiter de la terrasse.
service was really slow, food took forever to came out. waiter was a nice man but it seemed like he was the only waiter taking care of customers in that entire restaurant. i did not see other waiters, only bussboys.
- the ricotta crêpe w spinach was 10/10, melt in your mouth really amazing
- linguini + meatballs was perfectly cooked but wayyyyyy too salty & sauce was a bit too watery. nothing crazy. i didn't ask for it to be changed because the service was *that* slow that i couldn't risk waiting another 40 mins.
- apple tart with ice cream was a flat 0, it was blatantly obvious that it wasn't house-made which you'd expect better from a restaurant like this. it was gummy & soggy & overall really bad. the vanilla ice cream paired with it was definitely breyer's, it sure tasted like it.
the atmosphere, however, is really beautiful & home-y, very traditional italian. i loved it.
Had a great dinner with friends at Il Cortile! I got the lamb ragu with Stracciatella soup with lamb ragu. The portions were large & delicious. Our server James was fantastic & gave great vegan recommendations for my friend.
Loved everything 🩷 the food, the ambiance, the staff. Highly recommend this place! ⭐?
Vraiment authentique & délicieux! Merci à James pour son service impeccable. Nous avons vraiment passé une belle soirée.
One of the best Italian food ive had here in Montreal.
Very cute spot, they have a cute outside seating. Our Waitress was really nice.
The sommelier was very nice aswell & knew what to recommend us.
The food was amazing, no complet at all. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
James is the best server ever! He made my best friends birthday unforgettable. It was our first time here & we will definitely be back. The food was phenomenal & the vibe was immaculate ! Thank you james for your hospitality & generosity! You are a one of a kind! Everyone go see James & enjoy the best night as if youre in Italy
I went there with a group of my friends for dinner. 10/10 I would recommend this place to anyone. Our waiter James was super friendly & nice! I would recommend getting the Linguine Con Frutti Di Mare, it is really good & creamy!
We had a party of seven & we had a beautiful table outside.
Food was excellent, the pastas all came with an appetizer. I loved my fettuccine & all my friends liked their food. Would recommend the fettuccine & bolognese.
James our server was so sweet & accommodating. He turned an extra heater on for us. & at the end he gave complimentary desserts!! Thanks James!!!!
Très bon service, notre serveur, Hicham, etait à l'écoute & très professionnel!
Pour la nourriture, je pense que c'est assez basique, je n'ai pas retrouvé le plein goût des aliments dans mon assiette & c'est dommage.
Par contre, très jolie décor & belle petite ambiance, sans musique.
Some dishes were better than others, I would highly recommend the gnocchi! Service was friendly, excellent wine selection, & the alleyway dining area was just spectacular. Beautiful little nook! Bathrooms need updating, unfortunately.
Véritable ambiance à l'italienne j'ai très bien mangé & le service était excellent dans un cadre chaleureux. La terrasse est juste magnifique on se croirait vraiment en Italie. Endroit propre & soigné. Un bon restaurant
James is the best, very kind & thoughtful. You feel in italy with classic & traditional food. Would thousand percent recommend!
