J'y suis allée à quelques reprises. Service très sympathique. Jolie terrasse. Très agréable pour un lunch d'affaires. La cuisine, ça va. Tiramisu caramel délicieux.

We ordered for a large group the veal scallopini with vegetables & potatoes. The veal was so flavourful & tender that you didn't need a knife to cut it. The potatoes were delicious as well as the vegetables. The service was impeccable. We definitely would come back & highly recommend Il Cortile.

Went there for a wedding, food was good, staff very busy & efficient, by the end of the meal the dessert took a long time to be served. High noise level in the courtyard, inevitable, nice setup.

great food unfortunately the service was lacking today.
went to celebrate 2 birthdays.
waiter never smiled, asked for things he said he would be back in a few & saw him leave on the street. most of us ordered table dhote but only brought 1 cake with candle when celebrating 2.
missed previous waiter but his service was a wedding party.
We did speak briefly. next time definitely will request him.
hopefully 20% tip we left will be shared with the staff.

Underwhelming. Nice terrace but food was nothing outstanding & definitely not worth the price. We had the tomato & mozzarella as a starter which was stingy portion & tastes like supermarket cheese. My partner had lamb ragu pasta which was decent, & I had the seafood linguine which at 44$ had 4 baby clams & 4 dried gummy unfresh shrimp - having looked at the photos, I was expecting other types of seafood on the plate. After the disappointment of the pastas we decided not to have any dessert. Also waited for 30 minutes to get my water refilled. We will not be returning nor recommending this place. I can think of much better Italian restaurants well worth visiting.

I went there for a birthday dinner & truly appreciated the exceptional service James gave us.

He was such a fun & kind waiter, & he made the whole experience & ambiance so much more enjoyable. We all felt genuinely welcomed & appreciated as guests.

On top of that, the restaurant truly makes you feel like you're in Italy. It was such a lovely dinner from beginning to end.

A huge thank you to our waiter, JAMES! We'll definitely be back.
