    I was with a party of 10 people. Many of them have eaten here before, but it was my first time. Appetizers were good although a little small. I had a pasta dish that included some chicken and the chicken was way overcooked and hard so I was basically disappointed with my main course. I asked the others about their dishes and they weren’t blown away either.

    Food was awesome. We had a group of 8 and the service was great. We all tried something different and not one bad meal anywhere. Atmosphere was awesome with that small Italian resteraunt feel. Highly recommend.

    I have dined at il Cortile a number of times and each is better than the last. The food is excellent but the best part of this restaurant is the staff. Where in the world did this amazing group of professionals come from? Each person who helped us was knowledgeable and efficient but also friendly, welcoming and kind. Il Cortile is truly a wonderful dining experience.

    Great Italian restaurant in Little Italy. Great ambiance and service. Only negative I can think of is, I expect from good restaurants that they include biscotti and natural sugar cubes with my after dinner espresso.
