    Would definitely recommend, located on a quiet street, cute ambiance. Yummy food, we had the antipasti special, and lasagna dinner special, both delicious and fresh. The branzino was perfectly cooked and they made a special pasta primavera for a vegetarian dinner, carpaccio was unique and rich. Service was attentive and friendly.

    Santos the owner does a fabulous job with food. The Pappardelle with boar ragu is a fav. Portions are smaller than usual and costly BUT the food flavors and attention to detail are wonderful. Ivan our waiter from Bulgaria is knowledgeable and an outstanding person to serve. The burrata crostini with caramelized fennel is a must....Il Cortile does not disappoint....Linda G from Paso Robles....

    One of the best Italian restaurants my husband and I have eaten at in a long time. The food was incredible and the cost was very reasonable for the portions and what you’re getting. They had several specials with items that were overnighted from various parts of Italy such as white truffle and buffalo mozzarella. We will be back! If you are in Paso this is a must try!
