10/10 evening that tastes like dinner with Nonna. Our waiter James made our night so incredibly special - I can't recommend this place enough; I'll be at Cortile every time I'm in town from now on.

I recommend making a reservation if you're planning to go, as it's very busy & you might not find a table. Philip who took care of me provided very kind & excellent service. I ordered the fish of the day, which was served with a starter & pasta on the side. Everything was absolutely delicious.

One of the best spots in downtown Montreal! The food was delicious & reasonably priced. The staff were very welcoming & kind. We visited a couple weeks ago to celebrate a friend's graduation & this place did not disappoint. We loved the terrace & the ambient lighting. When the staff found out my friend was graduating, they brought out a free drink! Our server, James, was the best. Highly recommend!

I had my wedding last year in that place. We couldn't ask for a better day. The food was amazing & the terrasse is just so beautiful. The owner was really kind & made the planning easy for us. Would recommend that place to anyone & I'll be heading to Il Cortile for our yearly anniversaries.
