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.

Loved the outdoor patio! I recommend the mussels with pasta & white wine sauce, it was excellent! The tiramisu & spinach soup both were great!

Beautiful location & the waiters are great but the food wow such a big disappointment. I felt I was at a school for cooking. An Italian restaurant that serves raw zucchini & squashed eggplant drenched in oil, appetizers missing salt-the whole table complained. Improve on the basics & this could be a 5 star restaurant. So misleading !

Il Cortile is a beautiful gem in Montreal for any occasion. I had the pleasure of attending my bridal shower at Il Cortile & cannot be more grateful for the outstanding service & support from their staff & manager. All guests were raving about how amazing the food was, how beautiful their courtyard is & how attentive, respectful & professional their staff was. Thank you Il Cortile & Dino! It was amazing.

Beautiful Patio. Ambiance is worthy of a European alley resto. Unfortunately food - not so good. Pastas were bland & flavorless. I've had tastier instant noodles. Eggplant appetizer & Caesar salad were tasty however. Good wine selection. Service was ok.

I took a client ot for dinner, was a little pricy but what isn't these days. They screwed up my meal but fixed it quickly. Also at first they said they could not chnage the pasta to veggies but they did fix that too. Also we booked on line with open table who screwed up & booked NYC. They told us its not the first time but they did accommadate us there too. Was very nice of them for a saturday night. Nice expierence overall even with all opstacles. I had the lemon chicken which was awesome.
