We arrived early and walking through Little Italy was a treat! The hostess was polite and genuine.She sat us upstairs and we had the homemade sangria. It was so delicious! Then we were seated in the courtyard. Table with linens and heavy silverware. They brought us bread! A man strolled and played the violin. We ordered an Italian salad. Chicken parmigiana with vodka sauce, the Ragu with spare ribs meatballs, sausage, and special Sugo. Our daughter ordered the seafood pasta with lobster, clams and calamari. Pasta was cooked to perfection and the flavors were outstanding. Our waiter was Angelo. He was very professional. At the end of the night he served us a 20 year old Port wine. They treated us like family. Salute!
I was skeptical about trying restaurant in the tourist area. Came here for lunch and it was surprisingly good! Really cute place, great friendly yet professional service. I ordered fettuccine di parma, homemade pasta was fresh and the sauce was tasty!! The mussels my friend ordered was flavorful too. Good portion of food.
Il Cortile in Little Italy, NYC had the potential for a lovely date night, with the magical atmosphere of the neighborhood and a bustling ambiance inside the restaurant. However, despite booking through Yelp, our reservation didn't come through and we had to wait for about 10 minutes, which was handled efficiently. The Manhattans we started with were strong and enjoyable, and the fried mozzarella we shared was essentially deep-fried mozzarella toast. As someone who loves cooking, I found both the chicken parmigiana and spaghetti puttanesca underwhelming in terms of flavor and quality. However, the service was prompt and fantastic, the drinks were stiff, and the restaurant provided great opportunities for people-watching. Given its 4.3-star rating, I expected more from the food.
Excellent service by long-serving waiters who really know the business. The food is very good, the atmosphere is great, and waiters like Fabrizio make you feel very welcome.
I had the scampi and soooooo good!
The service was amazing, not overly in your face, but also very attentive. The food was flavorful, fresh and natural. I saw the garlic chunks. They deveined the shrimp. The seasonings were added in the right amounts.
Also the vibe is great for an upscale dinner/lunch or just a casual stop in like we did with regular street clothes!
Knockout Italian spot amongst the many on the street!

The staff was very accommodating and the service was fast and excellent. Sitting outside under an umbrella kept us comfortable even with a slight Sprinkle.
The food was very well prepared and seasoned, especially the lamb special, the chicken parm, and the stuffed mushrooms.
This place will be going on the "favorites " list.

This was the best pasta I’ve ever had. The whole experience was amazing and felt like I was in Italy. The waiter was so nice and he showed us pictures from when he lived in Italy. I loved the food and the atmosphere was spectacular. I highly recommend.
