Galata · Istanbul

Benvenuti

In the courtyard of a 19th-century French school, embraced by Genoese walls that have stood for eight hundred years, IL CORTILE brings the warmth of an Italian table to the heart of Galata. Wood-fired pizzas, handmade pasta and a carefully curated wine list — all in one of Istanbul's most storied settings.

The Courtyard

Our name means exactly what you find here: a courtyard. Sheltered from the city's rush, framed by ancient stone, it is a place to linger — over a long lunch, an aperitivo at dusk or dinner under the open sky.
