    One of our go to favorites in Paso! Great atmosphere, amazing food and overall nice experience. When the Sea Bass is available you have to do it. Service is always on point. Paso locals have been running this place for 20+ years and we love to support it.

    Fantastic dinner with some friends while visiting Paso Robles. We were surprised that the restaurant was celebrating their 15 anniversary and had a special 5 course meal with 3 options for each course, and you could pair it with wine for a good price. Two of us did the pairing and every course was delicious. The service was very attentive but not intrusive. Great dinner!

    This is the finest dining in Paso. The food is amazing! The pasta is house made and Carole is an amazing host and Santos is a genius in the kitchen.

    Great food and exceptional service by Nikki and Ryah. The owners are wonderful. When looking for consistently great food in Paso Robles this is your place. Lovely ambiance and if you can't get in at Il Cortile, check out their new place Parchetto! I highly recommend this restaurant.
