Il Cortile offers an enchanting Italian dining experience in a charming downtown courtyard, with authentic flavors, generous portions, and a warm, attentive staff that makes celebrations feel special; the atmosphere blends cozy European charm with a beautiful terrace that transports diners to Italy, and the menu features well executed pastas, gnocchi, seafood, and dessert options that consistently impress. Service can be slower during peak times or larger groups, but guests describe the staff as going above and beyond to accommodate requests and to create memorable evenings worth repeating.
I was blessed with the opportunity to visit such a magnificent dining. Oh my, where do I even begin my friends. The servers were amazing & one of them was even able to make me laugh. No one has been able to make me laugh in years, not even my own wife! So it was a remarkable surprise that I will never forget. The first glance, the first smell, the first bite, the first taste, evoked strong memories of when I would wait for my nona's delicious food. No one could ever compare to her, besides this place. Nona if you're reading this, I'm joking. Rip. The atmosphere was very pleasing, which included beautiful artwork & music. I'll see you next time boys ;). Don't miss me too much. Cause I will definitely most certainly miss you so much. Wonderful fellow also took a photo of us. - your favourite customer. D.

C'est la meilleure place à Montréal pour ce régaler, disposer d'un service de qualité dans Un cadre extrêmement agréable. Le personnel est toujours extrêmement compétent & au petit soins. La cuisine traditionnelle est une pure merveille ! Merci à toutes l'équipe & à très vite !
Restaurant parfait pour un rendez-vous amoureux.
Le romantisme à l'italienne !
Ne sachant pas quoi prendre à boire, le serveur nous a conseillé le limoncello Spritz qui était excellent.
La nourriture était également très bonne (nous avions pris le menu degustation)
L'extérieur était très charmant.
We are regulars. Such a civilized way to enjoy a meal lunch & supper. The wine list is extensive & mid to high end in pricing. The private imports are the go to wines.
My mother & I went for dinner here this evening after flying in from Vancouver. The food was simple & delicious, as Italian food should be. Our server, Mansour, was lovely. He visited the table at all the right times & created a very smooth experience with great suggestions. I'll definitely be back.

Restaurant chic
Les serveurs sont très sympa
Le service est impeccable
Le repas est succulent
Nous avions réservé une table le jour de l’anniversaire de mon fils.
& nous sommes arrivés tous vêtus d’un tee-shirt à son effigie.
À la fin du repas, ils nous ont fait une merveilleuse petite surprise en lui offrant un petit gâteau.
Tout le restaurant s’est joint « au game »en lui chantant un joyeux anniversaire.
Nous étions agréablement tous surpris & mon fils était ému & joyeux.
I love this place. The food is so nice & the service is very sweet. I really appreciate the owner opened this restaurant here so I can eat such delicious food. I also really appreciate James. He always provides bests services with big smile. I often bring my friends here & we came here at least five times. I will keep come back here.
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.
Avoid at all cost! À éviter! There are plenty of good Italian restaurants in Montreal, NOT THIS ONE! Food is fair at best but the service is awful. 2 glasses of wine were spilled on 3 of us by 2 different waiters... silk, linen, nice shirts, .. irrecoverable. They offered us one free beer & to bring back the cleaning bill, that's it. I have travelled in many countries & never have I had such a bad experience. It was my second time at this restaurant as I always give a chance to the runner. Sorry this restaurant would not even make it in the Turtle's team!
