I had the Osso bucco. In the menus it is described as being served with saffron risotto but it came in a tomato sauce, only traces of rice, a medley of vegetable & chewy meat. Do not recommend it.

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.

Classic authentic italian food. They keep it simple & its amazing. Service was professional & fast. They are also very flexible with diatery resteictions as we asked to switch a sauce that had alcohol with something else so we rlly appreciated it.We went to test it out before having our engagement dinner during winter & we will surely pick this place. Highly reccomend making a reservation first.

This is a lovely urban courtyard restaurant hidden away in the heart of downtown Montreal. The unique setting & the pleasant service by the amiable young staff compensate for the quality of the food at this establishment. If you enjoy North American-Italian cuisine then you won't be disappointed by the heavy cream sauces, faux parmesan, very salty good or overcooked meats. Montreal has so much to offer when it comes to authentic Italian food but Il Cortile isn't one of the places. This would be a perfect spot for pre-dinner drinks or cocktail on a sunny afternoon.

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

The most beautiful Italian restaurant in the world. The nicest staff you could ask for. Felt a real connection with the workers. The food was absolutely delicious. Creamy rose sauce is to die for. Risotto was my favourite. Best experience I've ever had. Everyone should try this place, you won't regret it.

Food was absolutely delicious. Took the fixed menu. It costs $70/person but you get such an incredible amount of variety (Two types of pasta, two appetizers, etc). The pasta tasted fresh & the sauce is incredible. The night ended with an excellent key lime pie. Love the vibe of the place too. It was small & quiet
