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

great food and service but we were a bit rushed... even with a 5:45 reservation... they told us they needed us to be out by 7 PM and made sure we were...

Fabulous food, service, sensible portions, impeccable presentation. Owner/Chef appreciates "Hook 'em Horns!"

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,...
