Il Cortile évoque la générosité, l'humour et la simplicité de l'Italie
Chez Il Cortile, nous vous proposons un menu table d'hôte pour le midi et soir, avec une variété de délicieuses entrées pour accompagner votre plat principal.
Le secret le mieux gardé de Montréal, servant le meilleur de la cuisine italienne.
Il Cortile offre une expérience italienne authentique, avec une cour intérieure magnifiquement décorée qui transporte en Italie. Le service est chaleureux et attentif, prêt à s'adapter aux demandes et à rendre les moments spéciaux inoubliables. La cuisine est excellente et généreuse, avec des pâtes fraîches savoureuses, des gnocchi fondants et des sauces riches qui séduisent autant lors d'un dîner romantique qu'en repas entre amis. L'ambiance est charmante et conviviale, que ce soit en terrasse ou dans ce cadre intime, et chaque visite paraît mémorable. Même lorsque le restaurant est très occupé, le personnel reste professionnel et attentif, et les desserts comme le tiramisu ou la gelato viennent couronner l'expérience.
We had a party of seven & we had a beautiful table outside.
Food was excellent, the pastas all came with an appetizer. I loved my fettuccine & all my friends liked their food. Would recommend the fettuccine & bolognese.
James our server was so sweet & accommodating. He turned an extra heater on for us. & at the end he gave complimentary desserts!! Thanks James!!!!
It was a nice experience that atmosphere was really on top but when we ask the waitress to change our plate & bring the balsamic she forgot so we had to ask another waiter to give us that service. The food was good but I prefer more cream in the pasta & fettuccine sauce, which was feeling a bit more dry in the seafood fettuccine plate. The Caesar salad was tasting good as well as the other fettuccine plate with meatballs. Visit my instagram for more experiences of restaurants & places to visit: @fatimadiaryy

Honestly , I have wanted to try this place for a while for its outdoor courtyard dining. As you enter the building & arrive at the Helm , no one is there to greet you . It could use a bit more charm . The courtyard is super cute & you expect that you are about to discover a hidden gem & most importantly eat an unforgettable meal . Before I begin , I want to mention that the service was exceptional. A lot of attention was given to our particular changes & requests in our order & this is something I greatly appreciate . Now the food was just ok . That part definitely needs to be worked on . It doesn't take much more to design flavors up a couple of notches. & please , if you talk about having fresh pasta , use more semolina . The pasta was not flavorful nor great quality . As for the sauces , definitely missing some Italian love , especially at the price point you're charging for those dishes . My daughter who adores lamb , would not eat her dish . You are in a great location & have the potential to do more . Glad I tried it but won't be returning . The thing that made me happy was being with my children on my birthday & their generosity.
Went there for dinner for the first time on a Sunday with a reservation.
When we came in it's like a zoo. Nobody is at the helm. We just stood there looking for someone to check us in.
Suddenly someone came out of the kitchen & showed us to a table.
The decor is magical. Can't say enough about the atmosphere. Service was so so.
We asked if we could have something off nenu, pasta carbonara. The waiter said sure but let me ask the cook.
I had to ask twice bc he had forgotten.
We ordered as well 2 caeser salads.
Takes forever to be served with 1 large group & nobody else but us in the restaurant.
Salad, my husband liked, me I thought it was very generic. Just ok. No lard or bacon, no parmesan slices etc.
I eat it.
Then came the Pasta carbonara. I had asked for spaghetti & received some flat noodles. They were cold & the sauce was like a thin lake in our plates.
I returned mine.
My husband ate them anyway ( I'm the picky one.) when you pay $38 a pasta plate, it better be good.
His noodles were busy trying not to drown. The sauce had not been reduced properly. My plate came back & it was much better. You can compare with my video & pictures.
When I stopped eating I asked the man taking back the plate to bring mine home. He said « of course ». Never saw that pasta again!
I asked for gelato. The waiter said yes . I picked raspberries. I received some raspberries granita full of ice pieces.
My husband ordered key lime pie, he left part of it. He said it tasted artificial.
We finally asked for the bill. It took FOREVER. I had to get up & asked 3 times during the meal for service.
My meal had been thrown out so they gave me another pasta instead.
Would never recommend this place to eat anything they sell.
Oh yeah & to use the bathroom you have to take an elevator one floor down
Not wheelchair friendly, in the expensive side. 0 parking.
I have contemplated coming here for weeks, after seen social media posts.
I had high expectations & we finally came today.
Unlike the pictures posted in social media, the open terrasse is very small, no fans, no air...hard to breathe.
Service was mediocre, I mean really mediocre.
We waited 1 hour or more for our meals,.during which time I poured whine in my glass my self.
We got my son's filet Mignon with sauce, not as we ordered so we send this to back to the kitchen, the second take came way too cooked & we return it to the kitchen again.
Their pasta is definitely not home made regular supermarket pasta, nothing to it.
Unfortunately the pancakes came with additional dressing, a nice hair in the center of them.
I'm sure my experience was unlike others, never the less, I wouldn't go back for any reason.
Favourite place we have visited in Montreal! Beautiful environment & atmosphere, our waiter James gave the sweetest most attentive service i have ever experienced. He was patient with us explaining the menu options & was always offering suggestions for drinks, desserts & meals. Great italian food, the ceasar salad & gnocchi pasta was 10/10! Would 100% recommend trying this place if you're in the area.
A hidden gem. Book your table outside & feel transported! Pastas are delicious, personal favorite here is the vongole. Delivers each tine. A lovely spot to bring out of town guests especially after the fine arts museum - it is just down the street!

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 underwhelming food experience. For the price of the dishes the taste was not really there. I ordered the seafood linguine with a white wine sauce, although the pasta was cooked perfectly the sauce was watery & the dish itself lacked flavour.
Where they lacked in flavour, they gain in service. All waiters/waitresses were attentive & making sure everything was ok for our large group.
I have heard a huge plus for this restaurant was for the courtyard, however the night we went it was pouring rain. The staff was very kind & offered outdoor seating as they did have heaters, however we opted to still sit indoors.
Il Cortile offers an exceptional Italian dining experience with authentic flavors, elegant ambiance, & top-notch service. From the perfectly cooked pasta to the rich, homemade sauces, every dish feels like a warm invitation to Italy. The staff are friendly & attentive, making the entire evening smooth & enjoyable. Whether you're going for a romantic dinner or a family gathering, Il Cortile never disappoints. Highly recommend!
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.

James our server was such a sweet heart. He took care of us the whole night & made sure we always had enough of everything!! The place.. wow we dined outside in mid October & felt warm the whole night with the heaters close to us. I cannot say enough how the food was amazingly tasteful & fresh. Make sure you try the sea food pasta & don't forget about the carpaccio!! I hope you'll enjoy as much as we did!!
The place is beautiful, I wish I could say the same of its food. I had a Parmesan eggplant which was good, but I also had their veggie lasagna & all I could taste below the fist layer, was dry, flavorless pasta with overcooked vegetables tasting like carton.

This restaurant has a great setting & overall good service. However, the food is quite unimpressive & underwhelming. I had the carpaccio as an appetizer, it was so poorly executed, the beef had large patches of fat & connective tissue, which a carpaccio is not supposed to have, it not tender & it was truly un chewable. The beef colour didn't look fresh either. My friend had the shrimp pasta, the tomato sauce was so watery it looked like he had his pasta in a soup, & some shrimps still had shells left on it. If your want a dinner worth this price range, walk a little further on the street & go to Beatrice.
The place is super pretty & you're surrounded by flowers but it took an hour & a half to get my meal. The food was flavourless. The pasta sauce lacks so much flavor. One of my friends got a drink & it was so weirdly salty. My friend got the chicken, beware, cafeteria food tastes better. Would not come here if you're expecting to eat good italian food. Go somewhere else. Not worth the money at all.
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.
