    Best authentic Italian restaurant in Little Italy. We eat here every time we're in New York. Chicken bowtie pasta dish is exceptional.

    They served pig intestine when we ordered calamari. The remaining appetizers were very disappointing and small portions. They also listed "fried mozzarella," but actually served a very expensive disappointing grilled greasy mozzarella cheese (one) sandwich cut in half with no taste. We were to be a group of ten, but they set us up at a table in a small alcove for 8 where the chairs didn't have enough room to fit under the table. We eventually had nine people and we coped. with the tight space. I do not recommend this place.

    As always my dinner at Il Cortile was excellent. I have never had a bad meal here. I had the Pollo alla Francese. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. The service was welcoming and professional. I always choose this restaurant when I invite guests to dinner because I know we will be treated well and have a delicious dinner.

    Our experience here was wonderful! Not only was the food delicious but the service was impeccable. We were able to sit at the window, which added to the experience. Would absolutely return.

    The waitress stated that the restaurant never received our reservation. I pulled up the email to show my confirmation number then his response was give them 20 minutes. It took 45 mins to get seated. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The table service and food were outstanding. Rough start but I definitely would recommend and eat here again.
