Il Cortile Del Re in Charleston is a four star Italian restaurant. This is a great place. It's been awarded the Best of Romantic award. Know before you go: this place features outdoor dining. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a romantic a
It was my birthday dinner with four couples. We called ahead to make sure splitting checks was okay ( do not normally do that). When sat, waitress was extremely offended when mentioned split checks. Service was awful, drinks went empty for long periods, waitress was mad at husband for asking for no cheese sauce on meal( even though he mentioned he was lactose intolerant). When asked for the restroom, waiter opened the broom closet for me. I have been to many fine dining restaurants and have been treated with exceptional care. If you are looking for that type of treatment; I would not reccomend this restaurant.

Five friends and myself decided to come here for my birthday . We called prior to arriving to ask if we could have 3 split checks. (They do not normally allow that) They said that was fine as long as we let our server knew at the very beginning. Which we did, and our waitress said that if we come back again that we are not allowed to ever have split checks again very rudely and some how annoyed. My party is all in the food and business industry so we know it is not that hard to do. Our drinks went empty frequently, and our waitress basically ignored us the whole time. If she was stopped so that someone could have some more wine or water, she would huff and stop off, and then slammed the drink down when the person received their drink. She never once asked how our food was, and was also bitched at my husband for when he asked to have no cheese sauce on his steak ( and he even told her how he was lactose intolerant!)... When we were leaving i asked one of the waiters where the bathrooms were, and he told me where it was... and it was the Broom Closet! and all the waiters laughed at me thinking that this joke was hilarious. I have been to many fine dining restaurants and have never in my life been treated with so much disrespect. They may have nice things on the menu, but this restaurant acts like they are top notch. Which as you can tell by other reviews that their not. Not a single person in my group said they would go back because of the service.

For our last night in Charleston, my husband and I wanted something other than lowcountry cusine. Il Cortile was recommended by at least three locals, so we gave it a try. We had low expectations, but ended up...

The food and the wine selection are excellent. The setting is intimate and, for the most part, the service is very good. Management could be better, which might remove the few rough spots in the service. My...

How does this not yet have a review? I think it's because everyone who goes there likes it so much that they don't want other people to find out about it. Well the day has come, I am introducing you…

If you like a snooty owner and a fairly overpriced menue with moderate to poor food come to this place. Lamb looked like it was cooked for 5 days straight but the duck was raw. Owner said we cant sit outside...

Snooty wait staff, and owners combined with a foul odor in the court yard made for a lousy evening. Decent food, above average wine list, however WAY OVER PRICED. Save your money.
