Tres belle terrasse on se croirait en Italie! La nourriture était succulente & les viandes bien tendres. Nous étions un très grand groupe avec un seul serveur, les service a été très long pour cette raison seulement mais tout le personnel est très attentionné & serviable. Nous reviendrons certainement!

Un restaurant avec une terrasse exceptionnellement belle! On s'y sent presque comme en Toscane grâce à son décor & l'intimité des murs en briques.

Les serveurs & l'ensemble du personnel sont très gentils, polis & attentionnés.

Les portions sont généreuses & les prix sont cohérents avec les quantités offertes. La nourriture est bonne, sans toutefois être particulièrement mémorable ou exceptionnelle.

Une belle adresse surtout pour l'ambiance & la magnifique terrasse.

C'était bon, mais sans plus ! J'y retournerais pour la terrasse, mais pas nécessairement pour la nourriture malheureusement.

Great service, always present to serve wine. Beautiful little terrasse, far from the city noises. Had a great date with my girl, even had limoncello shots on the house! The garlic spaghetinni wasn't quite my type, but the shrimp fettucinnis were delicious!

Will definitely come back soon!

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.
