Il Cortile In Pettenasco

Pizzeria visited on 25 August 2021. Updated to 08/24/2024. We have always returned to this pizzeria once or twice a year, on the occasion of our traditional holiday on Lake Orta. The Mottarone pizza (tomato, mozzarella, Piedmontese cheese, speck and porcini mushrooms, rocket which I hate and don't allow) is always superb. An excellent, richly seasoned dough, with delicious mushrooms. Really excellent. Cornice of the right size, not too much, not too little, crunchy on the surface and soft on the inside. Price of pizza 10 euros: just 50 cents more than in 2021. Then meringue (price 6 euros like all desserts), really excellent. Not a slice as usual, but a cake of considerable size served on a blackboard stone with a very nice icing sugar decoration (see photo). The service was good, friendly and helpful. Total price for two Mottarone pizzas, two meringue pies, half a liter of white in a carafe, one mineral and obviously two place settings: 44.50 euros. As long as we come on holiday to Lake Orta we will definitely return to this pizzeria. Attention: the place closes at 10pm, so you need to arrive not too much after 9pm.

its an honest place not to fancy which i personally like, it might not be for everyone though. service is great, food is good. i can recommend this place wholeheartedly as we have been here three times allready.

Simple but effective cuisine. The choice fell on gnocchi for which the taste of cheese was very present. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. In addition, the staff is able to speak English, which is perfectly suited to tourists.

An Italian cantina, with good dishes and pleasant service but a somewhat cold decor and atmosphere. 45€ for 2 people without alcohol, without dessert.

Great little family run restaurant, food tasty, great value for money and staff friendly. It’s best to book ahead by phone or email as they can get busy.

We had a delicious meal here. Shared a starter of smoked swordfish, each a pizza (one with raw ham and mushrooms, the other with raw ham and burrata) and for dessert, at the suggestion of the waiter, the tart with chantilly and forest fruits. Everything was very tasty and was brought to the table with a smile.

Gode og smagfulde pastaretter. Deres pizzaer er kedelige og mangler sjæl. Vi bestilte pizza m. Skinke og den var der ikke meget af i forhold til hvad vi er vandt til når vi rejser rundt i Italien. Skinken manglede smag og pizzaen var i det hele taget en flad fornemmelse. Selv tomatsovsen manglede smag. Tilgængel er der et godt udvalg på vinkortet og der kan fåes god vin fra nogle fantastiske områder. Fra bestillingen blev lagt, gik der ikke længe før drikkevarer og mad kom. Det er et kæmpe plus. God og sød serveringspersonale.

Thank you for the friendly service and the lovely evenings - the food and wine taste fantastic!

Extremely good and friendly service. Very good pizza, salads and wine - would come back any time

Leuk restaurant met vriendelijke bediening. Heerlijke pizza gegeten met een prima huiswijn erbij. Als voorgerecht een plank met salami en andere vleeswaren gedeeld…echt top en een aanrader. Informele en gemoedelijke sfeer.
