The Cousins Trattoria

What an amazing experience. The place is much bigger than it looks from outside, but also doesn't feel that way. Staff are well dressed and made us feel welcome right from the start. The dining area is divided into two cosy, warmly lit areas, with comfortable furniture, creating a relaxed, yet sophisticated atmosphere. Delicious light bread, hot from the oven to enjoy while browsing the menu. The well curated wine selection, although small, made it easy to find the perfect pairing to go with the meal. Our waiter was discreetly attentive and very knowledgeable. The freshly made tagliatelle being carefully stirred in a wheel of parmesan cheese at the table, before being plated, was a great experience. The other, exceptionally plated dishes arrived at the same time, engulfing the table with exquisite aroma. The food was delicious. Perfectly cooked, with a beautiful balance of flavours, further accentuated by the wine. All in all, this is the most authentic Italian dining experience to be found locally.

Excellent service and delicious food! We liked the atmosphere a lot as well. Will recommend everyone to not miss out on this place when visiting cape town

We had such a great time at The Cousins Trattoria! The food was absolutely top notch – I had the lamb gnocchi, and it was incredible. The service was just as impressive; everyone was super friendly and attentive. A special shoutout to the bartender, who went the extra mile and created a delicious non-alcoholic drink just for me. Highly recommend this spot for amazing food, great vibes, and outstanding service!

One of the best Italian experiences in Cape Town. Food was great and elevated by the exceptional service and fitting atmosphere.

good food, great service, nice vibes. not a fan of the sliced steak on rocket, carpaccio was much better

Had a lovely experience at The Cousins restaurant! The pasta was delicious and full of flavor. Big thanks to Melody who assisted us with a warm smile and great service. We’ll definitely come back! 🍝✨

Delicious pasta and top-notch service! I had the mushroom tagliatelle, which gets tossed in a literal wheel of cheese before being plated—so freaking good. And the beignets filled with citrus cream and served with warm chocolate sauce? Absolutely to die for. I'd make a trip to the city just for that chocolate indulgence

Delicious variety of Italian dishes. We were a table of 4 and each one had a different dish which we all thoroughly enjoyed. I had their signature dish which is displayed in this video
