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.
I just had the best time at this restaurant. I met James, the kindest server ever, who made my 20th birthday a wonderful memory. Thank you James! & I recommand this place to everyone, the food is delicious.
I went there with a group of my friends for dinner. 10/10 I would recommend this place to anyone. Our waiter James was super friendly & nice! I would recommend getting the Linguine Con Frutti Di Mare, it is really good & creamy!
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!!!!
Some dishes were better than others, I would highly recommend the gnocchi! Service was friendly, excellent wine selection, & the alleyway dining area was just spectacular. Beautiful little nook! Bathrooms need updating, unfortunately.

My friends & I were able to visit for dinner & it was easily one of the best dining experiences I've had. Our server James was amazing & made time for us even while busy & went above & beyond to make our evening memorable. The food was delicious, every single dish was loved by everyone at the table. The courtyard is beautiful & makes the whole experience even better. Would highly recommend this place & we are looking forward to visiting again on our next trip!
Quelle expérience parfaite ce soir! Je célébrais mon 21eme avec ma famille. Le
décor est magnifique, on se sentait en Italie. Service chaleureux & efficace, délicieux les plats de pâtes, aperol spritz, vin! & pour finir, ma mère avait appelé avant, elle a demandé si on pouvait amener un gateau, elle ne savait pas quoi trop choisir, le propriétaire lui a dit'pas de problème, je vais aller acheter un gateau chocolat crème glacée pour vous'! Jamais vu ça. Ils m'ont donc amené un gateau entier à la table qu'ils s'étaient procurés pour moi, avec un bonne fête écrit dessus. Vraiment une superbe expérience. Ce resto existe depuis 40 ans, du père au fils. Je recommande fortement!
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.
Bread was boring, oil but no wine vinegar.

Il Cortile is the real deal. The food is always excellent, the service is sharp, & the atmosphere makes you want to stay all night. Dino runs a tight ship & his staff know how to treat people right-you feel welcome without any of the fake stuff you get at other places. It's consistent, it's classy, & it's the kind of spot you can count on every time. I definitely recommend it.
I've been to Il Cortile a couple of times & it's always a great experience! Last week, I organized a dinner for my cousin's bridal shower & we really loved the service we were given by our waiter James. He made sure we were having a great time & that we enjoyed the food! Highly recommend this hidden gem, the atmosphere is amazing.
our waiter james was incredible he gave us amazing service always made sure we had what we needed & was so sweet. would definitely recommend trying out this place if you're looking for a beautiful outdoor patio or great italian food.
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.
Like an evening in an Italian piazza, the food is authentic Italian, the service is excellent, a hidden gem in the heart of downtown Montreal. Enjoyed an evening doing outdoors, the ambiance, decor & music transports you to Europe. Highly
Recommended!!
I just had a lovely lunch with my daughter for Fathers day. The courtyard was stunning, the service & food were excellent, a wedding celebration added to the joyful vibe of the sunny afternoon.
Highly recommend, will be celebrating here again.
Our waitress Io could not have been more delightfully attentive. The food was delicious. Perfect place for a large party. Would recommend wholeheartedly 5⭐?
