Il Cortile is frequently celebrated as a hidden gem in downtown Montreal, particularly for its stunning, traditional outdoor courtyard that transports guests to an authentic Italian atmosphere. Many diners praise the restaurant for its delicious food, with highlights including the gnocchi, seafood pasta, and fresh ingredients, as well as the generous portions and complimentary gestures like dessert or drinks. While experiences with the service vary, many guests highlight the attentive, warm, and professional care provided by the staff, which often makes celebrations and special events feel memorable. Although some visitors noted inconsistencies regarding service speed during busy times and occasional feedback on specific dish preparations, the overall consensus points to a welcoming venue that successfully offers a cozy and traditional European dining experience.

Great atmosphere, was seated in the outdoor courtyard. The vibe was very pleasant.

The food was amazing, we went for F1 weekend, & the menu was very nicely put together. All of the entrees we tried was delicious, as well as the pasta, gnocchi, & desserts were amazing.

Hicham took good care of us, Dino & the other staff were excellent as well!

Very great experience!

I just had a lovely lunch with my daughter for Fathers day. The courtyard was stunning, the service & food were excellent, a wedding celebration added to the joyful vibe of the sunny afternoon.
Highly recommend, will be celebrating here again.

Cuisine à revoir surtout à ces prix … plats fades sans goût & rien à voir avec la cuisine italienne …
Déçue pour la qualité des plats, le cadre en terrasse est pourtant très sympa .

i had a small wedding dinner party of 15 & they even printed set menus for us. our waiter Mansour was pleasant & was very happy to see James there. service is really outstanding & many thanks to Dino who helped organize & made everything happen so quickly. all the guests left empty plates stomachs full.
couldn't have asked for a more perfect outdoor dinner ambience.
