damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Il Cortile yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Il Cortile is a Little Italy fixture since 1975, and per Time Out New York it gets 'liveliest (and busiest) on holidays, Valentine's Day, San Gennaro festival days and weekend evenings.' Time Out specifically notes that on those occasions waits 'can mean waits even with reservations,' meaning a booking doesn't guarantee a table on time.
Time Out's listing offers no typical wait-time figures or off-peak crowd notes, so outside of holidays and weekend evenings the picture is unestablished. The restaurant does accept online reservations via OpenTable, per Time Out's listing, which is the main lever for avoiding a wait on quieter nights.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
Reservations: Reservations accepted via OpenTable, per Time Out New York's listing.
Mon-Thu, Sun noon-midnight; Fri-Sat noon-1am, per Time Out New York.
Waits are concentrated around holidays, Valentine's Day, San Gennaro festival days, and weekend evenings, when Time Out New York reports the restaurant can mean a wait 'even with reservations.' No wait-time figures are published for other times.
Yes — Time Out New York's listing links to online booking through OpenTable, though on peak nights a reservation doesn't guarantee being seated immediately.
Walk-ins aren't explicitly addressed by Time Out New York's coverage, but given the restaurant's size ('sprawling,' per Time Out) walk-in seating is plausible outside of its named peak occasions.
