Little Cortile in Hannover

Cozy restaurant and very nice service. Food was fantastic and looking forward to next time

We took a seat in the small inner courtyard of the Cortile, which gives it its name. Despite 30 degrees, there is a very pleasant and calm climate here thanks to a large vine plant. There was very tasty bread with dip and bruschetta beforehand. For the main course we tried the truffle pasta. Totally delicious. That's how I imagine it would be in Italy. 22€ for "a plate of pasta" feels quite expensive, but you get excellent homemade pasta with large slices of truffles and go home full and happy. The Cortile team was very friendly and attentive.

We had a great afternoon with delicious food with Henning and his charming assistant. Gladly again, absolutely recommended

Nice restaurant with a great ambience. The cocktails were very tasty. Unfortunately, the food wasn't particularly good. In my lasagne, the lasagne sheets were still uncooked and therefore hard. The lasagne was actually not edible. A note to the service only resulted in a "I'll tell the kitchen" - no "sorry", no "do you want an alternative", no "aperitif as an apology". Dealing with criticism is much better and you should actually expect it given the prices. The spaghetti carbonara we also had was mediocre at best. Unfortunately it will be the last visit for us.

Cold lasagna, poor packaging – disappointing! We ordered a lasagna full of anticipation, but what arrived was a bitter disappointment. The packaging was completely unsuitable, too big and no insulation. You can see the result in the photo: an unappetizing-looking, collapsed mass that is barely recognizable as lasagne. The food was completely cold. We definitely expected more for the price. Ordered through Wolt.

Very tasty pasta! The two of us were there (with a reservation) on a Saturday evening. We were warmly welcomed. The menu has a small but fine selection of pasta dishes and starters/desserts. There are also vegetarian options. The pasta was very tasty and freshly prepared. Highly recommended.

Great atmosphere, great service and the food speaks for itself. Highly recommended.

Super delicious food and delicious drinks, nice atmosphere and nice service. Big recommendation, especially if you want to eat real spaghetti carbonara.

We ordered pizza, the dough was too thick and limp

Small cute restaurant. We celebrated our anniversary but were only moderately satisfied. The menu was handed out quickly and the order was taken quickly. After the first slide of drinks arrived, however, you always had to draw attention to yourself if you wanted to drink something new. The starter was delicious. However, the main course was a long time coming. The table next to us came about 10 minutes later than us, the starters for both of our tables came at the same time, but the other table got the main course about 10-15 minutes earlier than us, even though both tables each ordered pasta twice. So we waited a total of 50 minutes for our main course. About the main course itself: the noodles were tasty, but only lukewarm. When I had eaten a quarter of the pasta, it was barely warm and was more of a cold dish. I have no idea whether it somehow took longer than usual to prepare it or put it on the table. I would have loved to give more stars because the restaurant really has potential.

The food was very tasty and the service was friendly, but very stressed and hectic. What is absolutely not nice, however, is the ambience. At the weekend it is really extremely loud and hectic. Unfortunately, the tables in the aisle don't work at all, just like the outside area. It's far too narrow and we couldn't converse at a normal volume. If you want good food, this is the place for you. However, if you're looking for a relaxing evening, don't. Really a shame and annoying given the prices

Top service, incredibly delicious pasta! Highly recommended! Thanks

We had dinner here with friends a few days ago and were very impressed and can absolutely recommend the restaurant. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The ambience is great and the food is super delicious. Price-performance ratio was absolutely right for us and we would be happy to come back.

We were there with 10 people. The food was of high quality and visually very fine. The service was also attentive. The 3 stars are based on the seating in the courtyard. Unfortunately it was drafty, cold feet and it had rained due to the weather. This area should not be operated in winter.

A very pleasant little place to meet friends. The menu is clear and doesn't overwhelm anyone when making a decision: only pasta is offered as the main course. The water flat rate is a good idea as an option! 👍🏻

Good food, a very cozy indoor dining table, but..... tremendously expensive.

Great food! The food was so delicious, I could have easily ordered two portions. Great service.

Overall, unfortunately, a disappointing evening. The wine was delicious, the water fee is great. The mixed starter platter is tasty, but easily €10 too expensive at €29 for a small selection of antipasti. The carbonara looks good at first glance, but it is too salty, in my case it wasn't really warm - and I don't know whether the bacon crumbs that look like bacon are really guanciale. The carbonara also lacked creaminess. It was just heavy and rather dry. The Sardinian pasta was barely seasoned. It is cold and drafty in the store due to the open courtyard and the door that often opens. The price is also really expensive for the quality offered, apart from the red wine. Our first visit will probably also be our last.

Great food, great service, great

Mega delicious food! We'd love to come back!

Sehr nettes Personal und ein sehr schöner kleiner Laden mit einer sehr schönen Atmosphäre

Wir hatten einen tollen Abend und das Essen war super lecker! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Went here for dinner with friends. The food was super delicious! The truffle pasta 👌12/10 but also the starter plate and the dessert were very good! The atmosphere was very pleasant and the service was very nice! Definitely recommended 😊

A real hit for anyone who focuses on pasta dishes!

Leckere Pasta. Die Wasser@@- Pauschale ist sehr gut

Beste Trüffelpasta die wir je gegessen haben! Netter Service, schönes Ambiente und wirklich vorzügliches Essen!

A very nice service. Pasta was okay, but too al dente for me, not enough shrimp for a €20 pasta... Unfortunately the tiramisu wasn't good. Way too creamy, no mascarpone. Drinks were very good.

Chic little restaurant, delicious pasta

Delicious food and friendly staff!

Super delicious food and friendly staff!

Great atmosphere! The tiramisu… a dream!

Vom Essen bis zur Lokation, alles sehr stimmig. Wor kommen ab jetzt öfter.

The food at LittleCortile was very tasty, the pasta was fresh, al dente and the portions were perfect. The price-performance ratio is right. As a carbonara lover who regularly visits Italy, I have to point out that a carbonara should be spicy but not too salty. This result can definitely be achieved through a perfect interaction of bacon, fat, parmesan, pecorino and unsalted pasta water. It's a shame that a nicely meant note was justified instead of gratefully accepted. The reasoning was “1 in 10 people say the carbonara is too salty” Otherwise everything was great.

Great ambience, the pasta dishes were delicious and beautifully prepared. Portion size just right. I'll definitely be back!

The homemade pasta tasted delicious. Basically, the dishes were quite bland, but you can add spices. However, the spaghetti carbonara was flavorful. Before the meal we were served homemade bread with a homemade rocket/cashew nut dip, which also lacked any spice. The bruschetta was very good. Service was nice and the food was brought to the table quickly. Overall I would recommend the restaurant. Price was quite high. There is a lunch menu with extra ingredients until 3 p.m. Parking there is a matter of luck

Super tasty pasta with decent portions. Price/performance (for wine and starters) too high.

Pasta bar with homemade pasta, nice courtyard seating and an overall great atmosphere. It's one of our new favorite restaurants in Hanover!

The best pasta I've ever eaten! We'll be back!

Food very tasty. But also in the high price segment. Ambience is so good!

Really delicious food from the starter to the desert, it was really perfect and the rest there is nothing to complain about

It's appropriate to say here: small and fine. I found a menu that wasn't too extensive and received fresh and handmade food. Take a look for yourself and stop by there. I felt very well. Best regards.

A very classy and tastefully decorated restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. The homemade pasta and the high-quality, fresh ingredients make a clear difference in taste. Service is very friendly and work quickly. Prices are a bit high but reasonable (homemade pasta, fresh ingredients and great atmosphere). I've eaten Italian food many times, but rarely this good. A small point of criticism is the location. The restaurant would fit much better in a (different) part of Hanover. Otherwise I can only recommend it.

Enttäuschung pur… wir wollten das erste mal das Restaurant testen und bekamen die letzte Ecke im Hof, trotz vorheriger Reservierung (2,5 Wochen). Ein unmöglicher und enger Eckplatz mit dreckigem Fußboden für 4 Personen, um den Abend zu genießen. Nachdem wir gefragt haben ob es möglich wäre einen anderen Tisch zu bekommen, sagte man uns sehr unfreundlich das alles reserviert wäre. Sehr unflexibel da noch einige Tische frei waren, auch im Aussenbereich. Somit war dann die Entscheidung nicht schwer die Lokalität zu verlassen. Das Essen können wir deswegen nicht beurteilen. Hier sollte dringend das Personal nachgeschult werden, sonst bleiben die Gäste zukünftig aus. Wir werden das Restaurant definitiv nicht noch einmal besuchen und auch keine Weiterempfehlung geben.

Lovely service, friendly staff that had fun among each other as well. Food was tasty and large portions. Recommended.

Don't cook the pasta and it's too salty. Atmosphere very good and staff friendly too

Erstklassig wie immer 🤗 Ist kulinarisch immer ein Erlebnis

Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre, höfliches Service und leckeres Essen, aber die Portionen waren klein und Preise teuer.

A fantastic restaurant! Super great service and delicious food! I particularly liked the flat rate for the water.

I ordered through Lieferrando and the Pasta Arabiata was tasty and well prepared, although it could have been spicier for my taste. The addition of olive oil gave the dish a great touch because you could taste it. What was particularly pleasing was that the bread was delivered specially packaged, which kept it nice and crispy. Overall, a recommendable delivery with minor potential for improvement.

Very good restaurant with great dishes! We sat in the inner courtyard, which is in a wonderfully quiet location and has a great atmosphere! The food and drink came quickly and was delicious! We'd love to come back!

Sehr freundlicher Service, sehr gutes Preis/Leistungs Verhältnis! Sehr empfehlenswert!

Wir hatten das Mittagsmenü mit einer sehr leckeren Lasagne und tollem Service. Gerne wieder.

Food was great Service 1st class Always happy 😀😀 Next time I'll come with my family 😀 Always my pleasure

Incredibly delicious main courses and desserts, incredibly friendly and attentive service and an incredibly beautiful ambience in the courtyard. Went to Little Cortile this evening with 6 friends and it was a perfect evening all around. We will be back definitely :-)

Best pasta restaurant in Hanover with a pleasant atmosphere and very nice staff

Always worth a visit. Pasta is fantastically tasty, and the rest of the menu from starters, drinks and desserts is also recommended. The service is attentive, professional and fast.

Best pasta, made with a lot of love and homemade.

Einfach rundum perfekt: gutes Essen in schönem Ambiente

Auch nach dem Generationenwechsel (und damit erfolgter Umbenennung) ist das "Sardegna" einen Besuch wert 🤗

the truffle pasta tasted very good

Really very good handmade pasta, super tasty and the atmosphere in the courtyard - welcome to Italy ❤️ We had a great evening and felt comfortable and in good hands. We'll definitely be back soon! I highly recommend making a reservation in advance, as the shop itself is rather small and very cramped with tables. There is more space outside and it is more pleasant if the person next to you is not looking directly at your plate.

Wirklich jedes Mal wieder hervorragend 😍! Der Klassiker "die Trüffelpasta"

Wie immer glücklich das Restaurant verlassen. Ausgesprochen köstliche Vorspeise und unsere Hauptgänge gnadenlos gut . Der Service ist sehr zugewandt und natürlich freundlich . Wir können Little Cortille absolut empfehlen.

Small but mighty: If you're looking for a good pasta restaurant, you should take a look here. To the restaurant: Not only is the restaurant small from the outside, there are also relatively few seats (reservation recommended). The very modern ambience is more reminiscent of a cocktail bar than a restaurant. A contrast to this is the inner courtyard, which also seems to give the restaurant its name. Here are a few more tables, some of which are also equipped with beer house furniture. Some people find it too rustic, others like it or love it (I would include myself in that category). In winter the yard is completely closed (winter garden) and has radiant heaters. About the service: The service is attentive and friendly, as is the boss, who had time to say a few sentences while paying. About the dishes: The homemade pasta dishes are of course the star here. In addition to a lunch menu and the standard menu, there is also a weekly menu with other dishes. From the weekly menu we had the “Spaghetti neri allo scoglio” (black spaghetti with seafood) and the “Ravioli con asparagi e ricotta” (stuffed pasta with green asparagus). Both pasta dishes were excellent, although the spaghetti had no spiciness whatsoever despite the “chilli note” on the menu. First we had bruschetta (pomodoro) and the “vitello tonnato”, which was really fantastic. Very thin and tender veal and lots of the very tasty tuna cream. The planned desserts were canceled: we were simply too full after the first and main courses. We'll try those next time.

Köstliche italienische Pasta im modernen Ambiente, freundliches Personal, leckere Drinks

Delicious food, very pleasant and stylishly decorated.

Es ist zwar handgemachte Pasta, aber leider auch dafür zu teuer.

Super friendly and courteous service and great food.

Super leckere Pasta. Desserts sind auch sehr zu empfehlen.

Delicious. It's nice to come back here again and again. I still know the store under the previous owner and still enjoy coming here after the change in ownership. The crowd has changed, but the food has remained very authentically Italian. It's nice that these places still exist.

Maybe I'm exaggerating again - but for me the tiny courtyard was one of the most romantic places in Hanover. So sweet. We actually just wanted to have a quick drink, but then we had two appetizers. They were perfect - as were the cocktails and, above all, the charming service. Great experience - we will definitely delve deeper into it soon!

Gutes Essen, toller Service, super Ambiente. Wir haben recht lange auf unser Essen gewartet; daher nicht ganz volle Punktzahl. Ich würde es aber jede:m empfehlen und immer wieder gerne kommen!

Very nice location and delicious food. My lunch break here was tasty, the crew was friendly and helpful. Thank you and gladly again!

Wir wollten zwei Mal Lasagne bestellen aber es gab Sonntag um 18 Uhr nur noch ein Mal Lasagne.. nach uns kamen noch einige Gäste.. ansonsten war alles gut :-)

The food was very tasty! There is even GLUTEN-FREE pasta!!! Excellent! You only have to wait a bit for the food, but the service was also very nice and friendly

We were there yesterday and reserved a table. The confirmation email said that the table was only available to us for 2 hours (until 8 p.m.). No problem since we were there at 6:30 p.m. and the food always came quickly on previous visits. Ultimately the food arrived at 7:40 p.m. after a waitress was made aware of it. Since the bar and kitchen were kept partly open, we could see that our food was prepared in a hurry. There was also no excuse for forgetting food. The truffle pasta, which is otherwise highly recommended, was unfortunately very dry. For €22 you can really expect more. To say something positive, the atmosphere is nice. Especially the winter garden in summer. The store is rather small and it can get very noisy when the store is full. However, it is clean and stylishly furnished. Beforehand there is always bread + dip, which also tastes very good.

I have never eaten such delicious pasta in my entire life! The restaurant may not have the best location in Hanover, but every single meter there is worth it! I'm in love and have been a top fan since last Friday!!!

Danke! Heute vor einem Konzert noch einen Zwischenstopp eingelegt. Es hat sich gelohnt. Schnell, super lecker und super freundlich. Meine Familie war begeistert.

Hello everyone, The winter garden is really not cool, it looks cute, but not that cozy. Food... Well nh... It really didn't taste fresh, rather a little stale. Is it worth a visit? Rather not.

Sehr nettes kleines Lokal, in dem man sich mittags zwanglos mit Kollegen treffen und sehr lecker italienisch speisen kann. Es gibt auch günstige wechselnde Mittagsangebote. Ich komme gerne wieder.

One of the top locations in Hanover for pasta fans. The service has been VERY friendly on every visit so far and has never been stressed even under stressful conditions!

Auf jeden Fall weiterzuempfehlen. Gefällt uns sehr gut

Nice restaurant in the front part. We sat in the “winter garden”, which has some cheap garden furniture and doesn’t fit in with the front part of the restaurant. Food and service are perfectly fine.

The food tasted very good, very good atmosphere. We'd love to come back!

We were here early evening during the week. It is a small, beautifully decorated restaurant with fresh pasta variations. The service is very friendly. We had Vitello Tonato first, which was very tasty, as well as lasagne and spaghetti carbonara as the main course. The paste was also delicious. The only thing we didn't like about the carbonara was that it was covered with a kind of flakes of very crispy (breakfast) bacon and not, in the classic way, with thick cubes of bacon. This creation or variant was not for our taste. Nevertheless, we would like to come back, we liked it.

Die Atmosphäre im Restaurant war super. Man hat sich direkt wohl gefühlt. Sowohl das Essen als auch der Service waren eine 10 von 10. Angenehm ist auch, dass die Karte nicht zu lang ist und man hierdurch den Eindruck bekommt, dass mehr auf Qualität als auf Quantität Wert gelegt wird. Es ist eine absolute Herzensempfehlung.

35€ for dry pasta with few Trüffel on top is crazy.

Die Trüffelpasta war gigantisch!!! Absolut empfehlenswert ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet im vorderen Teil. Stühle bequem für längeres Sitzen. Sehr freundlicher und zuvorkommender Service. Pesto hätte etwas kräftigere Würze (Knoblauch) gut vertragen können. Insgesamt ein gelungener Abend.

Ein sehr kleines, aber feines Restaurant. Sehr, sehr freundliche Bedienung. Das Essen war frisch und lecker. Es gab noch eine sehr gute Weinempfehlung. Wirklich eine Empfehlung wert.

Tolle frische Pasta, leckere Cocktails, super Musik, sehr netter Service, schönes Ambiente. Immer wieder gerne!

First of all, I have never eaten such delicious truffle pasta. Really highly recommended and the service staff was also very nice. Regarding the ambience, however: It was my first time visiting the store and I therefore selected the high table area when making the online reservation. In the end, it is probably better to choose the winter garden, despite the already beautiful ambience in the interior. Inside, whether it's a high table or a normal table, it's relatively small and the seating is much too tight for my taste. I would also always make a reservation, we were there during the week and it was full.

I had the pleasure of visiting Lille Cortille in Hanover and it was a wonderful experience. From the moment I walked in I felt transported to another world. The decor is stylish and inviting, a perfect mix of elegance and coziness. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made my evening particularly enjoyable. But the real highlight was the food. Each dish was a work of art, both in taste and presentation. The pasta with truffles was particularly unforgettable – simply divine. The wine selection was impressive and perfectly matched to the food. I really enjoyed my visit to Lille Cortille and would recommend it to anyone looking for an exquisite dining experience in Hanover. A truly magical place!

Die Erfahrung war super. Das Essen und die Atmosphäre waren hervorragend.

Very friendly service, but waiting time is a bit long. Starters TOP, Pasta Carbonara very al dente and powerful, dessert very tasty. Good wines, water flat was great. Ambiance: very nice and chilled at the front, winter garden a bit cool and it was quite humid. But we'd love to come back!

Schöner Abend, tolles klares Konzept. Nette Bedienung nettes Ambiente, leckeres Essen.

Nice restaurant and bar with a good selection of food and drinks, specializing in homemade pasta! Both the food and the drinks are super fresh, tasty and varied. The ravioli and the pasta with fresh truffles are particularly recommended. Because there are very few seats, it's worth reserving a table in advance!

Kurz gefasst - es war alles hervorragend! Das Essen war qualitativ sehr hochwertig und Geschmacksintensiv, es ist kein Aroma zu kurz gekommen! Das Ambiente und der Service waren ebenfalls wunderbar. Das Serviceteam war freundlich und zuvorkommend also blieb kein Wunsch offen 10/10 ich komme wieder

Das Essen und die Getränke sind fantastisch! Preis-Leistung ist super. Die Bedienung ist freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Musik ist ein wenig laut, aber das Ambiente ist trotzdem schön. Insgesamt wirklich sehr zu empfehlen!

Ausgesprochen netter Service und tolles Essen im Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
