I had my wedding last year in that place. We couldn't ask for a better day. The food was amazing & the terrasse is just so beautiful. The owner was really kind & made the planning easy for us. Would recommend that place to anyone & I'll be heading to Il Cortile for our yearly anniversaries.

I had high expectations going to this restaurant but alas, left disappointed.

Positives: Nice courtyard, excellent service
Negatives: The only things Italian were the meal names & the music in the background. Weak welcome but very good service throughout.

Negatives: Very underwhelming food. Penne tasted store bought & the pesto on the tomatoes were flavourless. & the dessert menu? Key Lime pie? Blueberry cheesecake? Not exactly Italian staples!!

Given the very expensive meal, I wish I could have had a delicious meal & authentic experience. Hopefully the restaurant takes note & improves things.

Nourriture excellente, mais service exécrable.

Nous avons attendu constamment toute la soirée. Le serveur était peu présent, expéditif & ne souriait pas. La personne pour le pain & l'eau ne comprenait pas le français. Même pour payer, nous avons dû attendre le retour du serveur qui
nous a laissé avec sa machine de paiement qui ne fonctionnait pas.Très décevant côté service, malgré la qualité des plats.

Nous sommes arrivées en fin de service pour prendre un tiramisu. Ils allaient fermé le restaurant mais nous ont quand même acceptées. Nous avons rencontré James qui nous a super bien accueilli, le cadre est très charmant. Je recommande à 100%. Encore merci à l'accueil & l'hospitalité de James.
