An absolute gem in Little Italy! This family-owned Italian restaurant was nothing short of divine. Every detail, from the warm, attentive service to the thoughtfully curated menu and inviting atmosphere, was impeccable. You can truly feel the love and pride behind every dish, and the flavors were rich, authentic, and unforgettable.
The attention to detail made the entire experience feel special, not rushed, and incredibly welcoming. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why family-run restaurants are so magical. Delicious food, exceptional service, and a perfect ambiance, 10/10 would recommend and can’t wait to return! ✨

Came here for lunch on Christmas day and the experience was incredible. The place looked so cozy and the food was very good. Servers were a bit clumsy sometimes with their movements but tried to compensate it with positive attitude.
Dishes sizes varied. Some were large (penne, spaghetti) some were quite tiny (ravioli or gnocchi).
All in all a great place

Spending Christmas at Il Cortile, in the heart of Little Italy, was a magical experience. From the entrance you are enveloped by a unique Christmas atmosphere, cared for in every detail, capable of making you feel inside a fairy tale between tradition, warmth and authentic holiday spirit.
The food was simply delicious, full of authentic flavors and prepared with great attention to quality. Each dish tells of the real Italian cuisine, the one that warms the heart as well as the palate.
The impeccable staff, professional and always smiling, contributed to making the evening perfect. A special thanks goes to Tommy, the owner: a true gentleman, present, welcoming and passionate, capable of transmitting love for his restaurant and for every guest.
The Courtyard is not just a restaurant, but an experience to live, especially during the Christmas period. Absolutely recommended ✨

In our visit to little Italy this restaurant was everything we could’ve wanted and more our server was extremely knowledgeable friendly and accommodating, he even recommended a special that was not in the menu to accommodate our dietary needs, this restaurant truly has it all, amazing service, quality, and vibe. To make things even better, the food was the best Italian I have ever had. Truly an unforgettable experience, will definitely visit again when back in NYC! Thank you so much!!!

Delicious! The ricotta/spinach stuffed gnocchi was the best. The penne alla vodka with sausage was delicious as well as the ravioli. The cheesecake was also great, very rich! The restaurant is gorgeous inside and our server was 10/10.

TLDR: Welcoming, airy garden room, simple classics done right. Get the meatball and penne vodka, add a Spritz, and you are set.

Stopped at Il Cortile on a semi-rainy walk from Chinatown. Little Italy spots can blur together and some push hard outside. This one felt calm and inviting. Inside is cozy. The garden room in back is the win: high ceilings, warm lights, lively but comfortable.
Service was on point. Friendly team, clear recommendations, steady pacing. Warm bread with olive oil and balsamic arrived fast. The meatball was tender with a bright tomato sauce. The penne alla vodka was al dente and balanced. Drinks were a Mojito and an Aperol Spritz, both fresh.
Classic Little Italy feel without the tourist push. Good flavor, good people, and a room you want to sit in. I would return and bring visitors.
Pro tips
• Ask for the garden room.
• Reserve for peak times.
• Simple items shine: bread, meatball, penne vodka.

Looking for an old school Italian restaurant with great service? This place delivered. A few notes:
1) The service was amazing. I don’t think my water cup ever hit half empty.
2) The drinks were solid. Try the coconut martini.
3) Food was excellent. Wife had the lobster ravioli.

Food was nothing short of incredible. Even for a bulky price, you get a true Italian meal, and the service is incredible. My water never got to empty. The atmosphere is very pleasant, especially in the atrium.

Food was extremely good, environment was great, service was some of the best. Service is friendly, food comes out fresh with high quality and well priced. They serve very good portions and all of it tastes good. Expect about $35 a person for a solid restaurant. Came here with a group of 5 and they were very accommodating. Definitely recommend penne alla vodka and will be coming back
