What kristen Collins likes about Il Cortile:
I decided to book here based on numerous reviews on NYC pages I follow on Facebook. This was by far the most recommended restaurant in Little Italy. This restaurant is huge on the inside and was decorated so lovely for the holiday season. Our server, Frank, was definitely the kindest server we have had in a long time, if not ever. The menu options are amazing and he was more than happy to help with recommendations. T... View all feedback. What Madisyn Oberbrunner doesn't like about Il Cortile:
Overall I’ll Cortile was very good but the door kept opening and the icy cold air was blasting us constantly. We sat in the front and it was 10 degrees outside. This really put a damper on our night to be blasted w icy air. Especially when the bill was 400 for 5 of us View all feedback.
