I had the pleasure to celebrate my 20th birthday at the cortile restaurant & it was simply amazing! Starting from the FOOD I've never ate a filet mignon well done, cooked & spiced exactly like I wanted in Montréal. The chef ‍ needs a 100/10 ⭐️. Next the service was marvellous, James & Hicham gave us the most amazing service ever in Montréal, My guests & I were all happy, we had an amazing night & we are definitely coming back!❤️

Un restaurant italien authentique avec la plupart des pâtes fait maison dans une ambiance classique on se croirait en Italie. Service impeccable & attentionné sans trop en mettre. Mon restaurant préféré à Montréal

Service was really good but food is not. I had the pastas with "wild" mushrooms that weren't wild.. lol. Pastas were not cooked & the sauce had no taste.

As Italian in Montreal I can officially say I've found my favourite Italian restaurant in Montreal. Yes it's a little price but it's absolutely worthy for quality & quantity of food. The service it's out of this world, our server (madur/ madir sorry if I've butchered your name) went above & beyond to give us the most amazing dinning experience. If you want to have a real Italian dinning experience I really suggest you this place.
