The food is absolutely incredible, but service suffers if there's a large group dining at the same time. Accept the grated parmesan at your own risk- we saw birds eating it from the serving bowls. Will probably give it another go on a slower day because the food is delicious.

Il Cortile is the real deal. The food is always excellent, the service is sharp, & the atmosphere makes you want to stay all night. Dino runs a tight ship & his staff know how to treat people right-you feel welcome without any of the fake stuff you get at other places. It's consistent, it's classy, & it's the kind of spot you can count on every time. I definitely recommend it.

I've been to Il Cortile a couple of times & it's always a great experience! Last week, I organized a dinner for my cousin's bridal shower & we really loved the service we were given by our waiter James. He made sure we were having a great time & that we enjoyed the food! Highly recommend this hidden gem, the atmosphere is amazing.

I came here to celebrate my close friend & loved the service. Our waiter, James, was the sweetest person ever. He made our entire experience even better. He took pictures of us & brought us a cake to celebrate my friend. The food was amazing & at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be coming back!!
