Il Cortile

Excellent service et pizzas excellentes !

Look for the "La Residenza" sign on Via Emilia. That's the hotel beside the restaurant and its big sign is the best way to locate Il Cortile. The restaurant courtyard is secluded from the street, and is very spacious. The distance between tables is very generous. Food was great and prices were reasonable, especially in the neighbourhood of Via Veneto. Service was prompt and friendly. This is a family-friendly restaurant and English is spoken.

I was served half of an eggshell in my Romeo & Giulieta cocktail. When I questioned the waiter his response was a curt “you have a problem with eggs”? I did not recall it being on the ingredient list and he said it was a garnish. He then sent a colleague out who asked the entire restaurant (about 10 tables of people) in a loud voice “lady with egg? I asked him the same question and he said “it’s a thing”. And “it is only a garnish and it is clean”. So... if you don’t want to have a sharp large eggshell in your drink, best to advise in advance. (And I haven’t been able to find reference to this trend anywhere.)

Service was excellent - food good and tasty. We enjoyed it but it was rather quiet due to the time of year.
