It was a long time since our last visit to Il Cortile and it was Zinfandel weekend...so while at the Turley tasting room we asked the nice poeple there what they would recommend for dinner at Il Cortile...so we brought our own bottle. Such a nice thing to be able to bring a wine to the restaurant. There is a... More

We went to Il Cortile last year and have raved about it ever since. When we went back this year, we were apprehensive that it may have changed or that our memory have may embroidered the actual experience. But it was every bit as good as we remembered. Not your typical Italian food (no lasagna, as I recall) but a... More

When we call to reserve for our guests, they are always so nice. We love to send our guests for dinner. specially those that are first time visitors!... More

Upon the recommendation of our driver Michael we tried Il Cortile for dinner our second night in Paso. What a delight! We thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful food, wine and impeccable service! All the courses were delicious, however the standout for us was the beef cheek ravioli! What a revelation! Make sure to save room for the tiramisu, it's a light... More

The excellent quality of the food and service at Il Cortile prompts me to write this first-ever (for me) review. My wife and I made Paso Robles our stop-over point on a leisurely Marin-L.A. round trip, and selected this restaurant based on the TripAdvisor consensus. Not only were we not disappointed, we were very impressed with both the food and... More

This jewel of a restaurant served us some of the best food we ever have eaten. The carpaccio with truffle sauce was divine. Stuffed zucchini blossoms had a wonderful cheese filling. Main course of hand made pasta with rabbit was delectable -- delicate and light. Nice wine list -- this is Paso Robles after all. Decor is stunning -- buttery... More

Even thought Il Cortile is 4.5 hrs from home, this was a third visit in 12 months. Definitely a destination restaurant, and it's many hours less than traveling to Italy. We put together our own 'tasting menu' of 6 courses, splitting everything. The kitchen and server were excellent in timing/spacing, often splitting the courses. Must haves are the grilled octopus,...
