    Food was so delicious… I will be dreaming about my meal until I go back again. Service was great too. Our server actually split our check 5 ways without rolling eyes or saying that the computer system won’t allow it. Made the end of the meal a nice and easy experience. My only negative was that I ordered a mocktail and added gin to it and it was $21 Didn’t make sense. Otherwise I’m excited to come back.

    We make an annual visit to Il Cortile for a special dinner and, while we've never been disappointed, this year was the most amazing! Of the amazing dishes and service I want to call out - Ivan, our server was so helpful and described each dish so well to help us decide - scallop appetizer was devine, cooked so perfectly and tender, served with delicious small sauces of variating flavor profiles - pesto truffle gnocchi was the most pillow-like and light gnocchi I've ever had, the flavor was out of this world - sea bass and branzino each had a flavorful and crispy side, fish was tender and cooked perfectly - osso bucco sets a new standard for that dish Only drawback is if you are seated in the patio it's rather chilly and not as comfortable an area. This was the first year we got to sit inside and it was so much better. Try to get reservations for the dining room! Thank you Ivan and Il Cortile for yet another memorable meal!

    Sooo glad we went off the beaten path and went here instead!! It was absolutely exquisite. We ordered the spaghetti, cioppino, butternuts squash ravioli, seafood pasta, fettuccini, and finished off with tiramisu for dessert. We devoured everything! Every single dish was homemade from scratch. The sauces were creamy, lots of seafood in the dishes. A lot more than expected. More people should try this place & they will fall in love. Why wait 5 hrs for a restaurant downtown when u could be enjoying your delicious dinner in less than an hr. Also found a reservation quickly on OpenTable.
