il Cortile in Luzern

Very friendly staff, fine food and great wine selection - highly recommended!

Horrible and rude service! I dont understand how can they have good reviews. We went for a lunch on Sunday. There were just 3 tables that were finished with their meals already but the waitress seemed stressed. After ordering a meal we also asked for a cappuccino. But the waitress made a weird face like „are you crazy“ and left. At first I thought it was just joke. But she did not bring it. Then we thought maybe the coffee machine was broken. But the tables around us were ordering coffees and she made it to them. Like what? I was so shocked and wanted to leave even though thry haven’t brought us food yet. But i didn’t want to be rude. Even the food could not made up for this horrible experience. This never happened to me in my life that the waitress would refuse to bring me something thats on the menu..What kind of restaurant is this???? Does the owner know? I guess they do because according to other reviews the bad service is a common knowledge there. Don’t go there.

Only one person in the room and she delivers. The cuisine is fresh and delicious. The tiramisu is just perfect.

We chose Il Cortile due to very good reviews. The restaurant seemed simple and quite comfortable. We really enjoyed the food (salmon fillet and osso buco). But unfortunately the service was extremely unfriendly! No smile, unclear what language she spoke because when we spoke German she answered in Italian and vice versa. As we drank our aperitif wine and chatted, she repeatedly asked us to place our food order. We said we would like to wait a little longer, we hadn't been in the restaurant for fifteen minutes yet! She said that a lot of guests would come at 7 p.m. Since she didn't let up and kept staring at our table, we reluctantly placed the order before 7 p.m. Finally it was possible to have a conversation without interruptions and impatient looks from the waitress. By the way, the announced “rush of guests” didn’t happen the whole evening….!

Fantastic restaurant, it's like being in Italy, everything is fresh and the service is super professional.

Very good restaurant. No a la carte pizzas

Nice atmosphere, nice service, good wine. The food was boring.

We went here without reservation on Saturday night for dinner. We ordered the set menu, everything was delicious. The food is clean, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The portion size is ok. Great wine pairing. Service is thoughtful and friendly. It's just for us the restaurant lighting feels super bright, they should dim the light to create a more relaxed ambiance.

In summer, this Italian restaurant with its charming garden is an outstanding choice to enjoy delicious food. Both the extremely friendly staff and the attentive patron contribute significantly to the positive experience. The menu recommendations are definitely worth trying. In addition, the atmosphere is extremely well maintained and gives the restaurant a special flair.

Highly recommended restaurant! Excellent cuisine, attentive service and good advice, quiet setting, in a secluded garden, personalized pasta for children. Delicious desserts.

The food is okay, but the owner of the restaurant is very fierce and nervous!!! Why do people want a calm and smiling face because we simply eat with our money

Excellent Italian place a stone's throw from the center of Lucerna, beautiful internal courtyard for summer

Get away from the tourist traps, just off the tourist trail and quiet, chilled, great food, great service

Looks nice but can't provide a full review. They turned us away even though 3/4 of the tables were empty. It's not clear if there was a dress code, but if so they should specify.

Perfect restaurant, highly recommended.

Excellent pasta al vongole in a beautiful back garden

The food was good. OK. The owner also does the service and here he definitely has potential for improvement in terms of friendliness. A smile or a bit of fun every now and then never hurt. It's a shame, the location would be good

We ate very well at an extremely fair price. We enjoyed the tasting menu for 70.00 and drank excellent wine with it. The service was exceptionally attentive and courteous. We felt very comfortable! A little more advertising would certainly help to push the restaurant a little further, as there was surprisingly little going on for an evening before a holiday. It's worth visiting this hidden gem in the middle of the city of Lucerne for authentic Italy experience. Thank you very much, we would love to come back 😃

Best Italian food in Lucerne. Homemade pasta that is so delicious! Wonderful service in a beautiful courtyard in Old Town Lucerne but away from the hordes of tourists. A delightful dinner that we will remember. Definitely check it out.

We arrived in Luzern in the afternoon and walked the rivers edge and surrounding streets. To our joy we found Il Cotile and snapped a picture to call when they opened. Wow, one of the finest dining experiences i have had in many years. My wife and i phoned to see if there was availability, thank goodness there was. We were greeted like family. We let them know we are pescatarian and for them to make the meal (4 or 5 course) and wine. What a smile from our host Salvatore and off he went. He returned over the dining experience with a joyous beam of delight and incredible dishes. From appetizers, salads, main course and deserts. We did go to another resultant the next night, after sitting and reviewing the menu we both looked at one another and decided to go back to Il Cortile. Another amazing dining experience!!!! Thank you Salvatore for your care in all areas.

Amazing food with lovely service. Romantic atmosphere with a cute courtyard that would be beautiful on a nice day. Highly recommend!

Great atmosphere, service and food. Highly recommend.

The place is nice and the service elegant but a bit “cold”. The pasta dishes were ok but not good, at least from an Italian pov.

Very warm welcome, fast, professional and attentive service. We ate very well there, delicious Italian dishes. I’ll happily go back 🙂

Menus are in Italian or German, but the staff is amazing and explained every option to us to make sure we were comfortable with our selections! Great authentic Italian cuisine! Would highly recommend!

very nice Italian restaurant (not a pizzeria). we had an excellent meal. the service was very attentive. not exactly cheap.

They were extremely rude. We arrived at 12.40pm, several tables were empty, but they didn't want to accommodate us. Truly an unacceptable stance. I would never recommend it.

Food excellent. Service underground! You feel very unwelcome. Miserable. I would never go to this restaurant again.

Top welcome from the beginning of the evening. Cozy restaurant and excellent quality food. Matteo, 5 super stars!

Excellent food, excellent service! A local recommended, I had the pasta and Rabbit dish, My husband had pasta with shrimp... everything was really good. Perfect presentation and the prices fit the meal!! I recommend!

Very good Italian restaurant. Food is tasty made with fresh ingredients, the service was excellent (super friendly and helpful), and if the weather permits, you can dine in their beautiful garden, tucked away from the busy streets.

Friendliness, chic place, really good dishes, not the usual place where they write about Italian cuisine and then you eat stuff where there is nothing Italian... and then the coffee is coffee, not dirty water.....

Excellent freshly prepared cuisine, fresh and quality food. Very good choice of wines. Very good and friendly service. Very nice location with outdoor terrace.

Excellent restaurant, we were pleasantly impressed by the variety of the menu and the quality of the dishes. Advised.

Nicely decorated restaurant. You don't come here to eat pizza, but to enjoy real Italian cuisine. Tasty prosecco, tasty burrata, delicious main course (forgotten name), tasty panna cotta as well as super tasty grappa. Really enjoyed it!

Very nice place. Entree buffalo mozzarella and tasteless tomatoes! Fish omelette: excellent! On the other hand, value for money: expensive! Cozy place! Nice for a romantic outing or in the summer! Gallant welcome!

The best Italian restaurant in Lucerne!

Food was delicious and the service was friendly. Unfortunately there was only one vegetarian dish on the entire menu.

Nice restaurant and good food. Unfortunately, Salvatore is a bad host and you always have the feeling that the customer is a nuisance. It's a shame for the kitchen's good performance.

Place located in a central but very quiet location, a few steps from car parks and other venues. Cuisine to be the envy of the best restaurants, with menus of the day with various tastings of typical and selected Italian dishes and products. I recommend this place for a candlelight dinner. I'll be back to visit them soon.

Highly recommended by a local Lucernian. Very quaint establishment with personal attention and great food. The experience was highlighted with nice wine, expertly prepared authentic Italian dishes (no pizza, thank you!), and a relaxing atmosphere. Don't come if you are in a rush or just want to grab and go. This place is worth the time spent.

Fantastic! A super beautiful courtyard, the finest food and excellent wine. All in a warm environment! Everything that makes a perfect evening.

Very good authentic cuisine. Always my pleasure.

Top! Does what the rating promises👍🏻

Authentic Italian cuisine. The garden is a gem that invites you to linger. "Dolce far niente" in the middle of Lucerne.

Very good food, excellent service and the restaurant with a very cozy and quiet patio

Great meal and great Chianti with it.

Very well eaten! Courtyard terrace is great. It's a shame that the typically Italian, hospitable conclusion was missing: a small drink from the house would have been appropriate.

super essen, kleine karte dafür perfekt zubereitet. gemütlicher innenhof mit super atmosphäre. sper produkte direkt aus italien. immer wider gerne, little itali in luzern

Very good restaurant, excellent food !

Di passaggio a Lucerna abbiamo pranzato in questo carino ristorante italiano in centro.Ottimi piatti della cucina italiana...completo e con ampia scelta il menù fisso del pranzo...e buona scelta anche alla carte. Consigliato!

We enjoyed a wonderful 4-course menu accompanied by a wonderful Borolo. Perfect service, thank you very much

Siamo entrati in questo piccolo ma grazioso ristorante e da subito ci hanno accolto molto bene e con estrema professionalità. Abbiamo preso antipasto e un secondo, dessert alla fine, e dall inizio alla fine è stato tutto perfetto, dal servizio al cibo all’ ambiente.

Fine pasta, great service - everything was wonderful.

Fine Italian cuisine - a very special culinary delight!

Une découverte, bonne cuisine italienne de qualitéBon service, terrasse agréable, au centre mais en-dehors des sentiers piétinés de la zone touristique de la ville de Lucerne.Les différents plats du jours ont tous été excellents.

Sehr zu empfehlen. Top Service und sehr gutes, italienisches Essen. Das Menü, welches angeboten wird, ist sehr fein und widerspiegelt die italienische Küche.

A beautiful gem in the middle of Lucerne. Authentic Italian cuisine. If you are looking for a place to feel transported to Italy - you will find it there.

The food was extremely good. Super friendly welcome when we arrived. The service was very good. We felt very comfortable.

Schöner und ruhiger Ort. Der Service ist ausgezeichnet und das Essen ist sogar besser als ausgezeichnet. Empfohlen und ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen Vielen Dank "Il Cortile"! ! !

Wir haben hier am Samstag Abend zu Abend gegessen. Als Vorspeise melanzana alla parmigiana con fior di latte anschliesend gniocchi con Taleggio e tartufo und trofie con salsiccia leggermente piccante e scamorza.Das Essen war einfach spitze. Der Service sehr zuvorkommen und unglaublich nett. Wir waren außen im Innenhof gesessen. Es ist sehr schön bepflanzt und man fühlt sich fast ein wenig wie in Italien. Ich muss sagen, das beste italienische Essen hier in Luzern! Top!!

(Traducido por Google) Gran restaurante italiano en la zona a 5 minutos de Kantonsspital Luzern. Excelente ubicación en un hermoso patio. El restaurante es elegante, con un hermoso ventanal con vista al jardín abierto. Ya usan las normas de seguridad y el protocolo Covid con divisores de vidrio. La habitación es limpia, luminosa, con un baño en el sótano accesible solo por una escalera. El personal es educado, profesional, bilingüe. La comida, recién preparada, se elige del menú diario o a la carta. Amplia selección de vinos italianos por copa o botella. Excelente relación calidad-precio. Hauspark cerca. Lo recomiendo altamente.

(Traducido por Google) La comida fue sensacional! La pasta en particular estaba deliciosa! La ensalada de tomate mozzarella de búfalo y el tiramisú eran maravillosos. Lamentablemente, el servicio no fue tan bueno y a menudo tuvimos que esperar mucho tiempo o pedir el servicio nosotros mismos. La camarera nunca vino sola y preguntó si queríamos algo más o si todo estaba bien. Para la deducción de una estrella en la evaluación. (Original) Das Essen war sensationell! Besonders die Pasta war sehr lecker! Auch der Tomaten Büffel Mozzarella Salat und das Tiramisu waren wunderbar. Leider war dee Service nicht so gut und wir mussten oft immer lange warten oder den Service selbst bestellen. Die Bedienung ist nie von sich aus vorbeigekommen und hat nachgefragt, ob wir noch was möchten oder ob alles in Ordnung ist. Dafür den einen Stern Abzug bei der Bewertung.

Das positive Vorneweg...Das Essen war sehr gut, vorspeise (Sepia Salat) wie Haupgang (Stockfisch)Leider reicht dies nicht aus, vor allem nicht wenn man sich Besitzer von 13 gault millau nennen darf...Empfang; mangelhaft... es wurde nicht nacht apero od. wasser gefragt. Eine Bedingung, zwar nett und bemüht, sprach kein wort... hallo?!? Gehts noch, immerhin ist das Lokal im herzen der zentralschweiz.Nach dem Essen mussten wir selbst für Kaffee / Espresso nachfragen. Dies sollte selbstverständlich sein. Frage nach Dessert? Fehlanzeige...Da hilft es auch nicht, dass wir am Ende den Limoncello auf Kosten des Hauses erhalten haben, wohl weil wir da die Rechnung bereits beglichen hatten.Fazit: Essen TOP, der koch versteht sein geschäft... Service FLOP... viel Luft nach oben

(Traducido por Google) El camino positivo a seguir ... La comida era muy buena, entrante (ensalada de sepia) como plato principal (stockfish) Desafortunadamente, esto no es suficiente, especialmente si puedes llamarte dueño de 13 gault millau ... recepción; pobre ... no se pidió aperitivo ni agua. Una camarera, amable y se esforzó, no habló una palabra de alemán ... ¿hola? Todavía es posible, después de todo, el restaurante está en el corazón del centro de Suiza. Después de comer tuvimos que pedir café / espresso nosotros mismos. Esto debería ir sin decirlo. Pregunta sobre el postre? Ninguno ... No ayuda que terminamos recibiendo el limoncello a expensas de la casa, probablemente porque ya habíamos pagado la factura allí. Conclusión: Essen TOP, el cocinero entiende su negocio ... Servicio FLOP ... mucho margen de mejora (Original) Das positive Vorneweg...

(Traducido por Google) La comida es buena, pero 13 puntos están en el límite superior. El servicio parcialmente subterráneo, en particular el jefe de la casa es muy arrogante. Probablemente no entendía bien cómo tratar a los invitados, te sientes muy mal con él. No elegiría este restaurante de nuevo. (Original) Das Essen ist gut, aber 13 Punkte sind an der oberen Grenze. Der Service teils unterirdisch, insbesondere ist der Chef des Hauses sehr arrogant. Er hat wohl nicht ganz verstanden, wie man Gäste behandelt, man fühlt sich bei ihm sehr unwillkommen. Würde dieses Restaurant nicht wieder wählen.

Schon die Begrüßung ist italienisch: sympathisch und freundlich mit Händedruck! Die Speisekarte ist eher klein, was auf dem Teller serviert wird, qualitativ desto größer! Vorspeise Tintenfisch und Peperoni, diskret gewürzt damit der natürliche Geschmack des Tintenfisch und der Peperoni nicht verlorengeht. Hauptspeise Kaninchen mit einem sämigen perfekt abgeschmeckten Risotto. Das Dessert rundete die sehr gute Küchenleistung ab. Der Service aufmerksam und gastfreundlich. Schöne Weinkarte. Das Preis-, Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Der Besuch lohnt sich auf jeden Fall! L
