Review Summary

Overall, Il Cortile offers an authentic Italian dining experience with a charming courtyard where guests consistently praise delicious pastas, seafood dishes, and comforting Italian favorites, generous portions, and a warm, attentive service that makes you feel welcome. The atmosphere feels like a slice of Italy in the heart of the city, with tasteful decor, pleasant outdoor seating, and a vibe that suits intimate dinners, celebrations, and relaxed evenings. The menu, wine list, and occasional complimentary touches contribute to a memorable experience, while a few reviews note slower service during busy times and that some dishes vary in execution, leaving room for refinement. Many visitors express the intention to return and recommend Il Cortile to friends.

We had such an amazing night at Il Cortile! Food was incredible, atmosphere was very pleasant & we felt very well taken care of. Service was excellent, & it was definitely the best restaurant we visited during our week stay in Montreal. Gluten free options were delicious, we felt very well accommodated for those in our group who had allergies/intolerances. Highly recommend!

We were really disappointed. Our first server would barely come to the table & forgot to put our dinner order in. We finally asked after an hour. The seafood was completely over cooked & was incredibly overpriced for what we got.

The second server that came by after the first one ghosted us was super sweet. She got us a free dessert & drink. Although appreciated, I wouldn’t recommend for dinner but maybe dessert & a drink on their patio.
