Your Italian Restaurant in Cape Town

The Cousins Trattoria was an idea created by Andrea, Simone and Luca who wanted to bring their knowledge and passion for food to Cape Town.

These cousins from Romagna, on the Adriatic coast of Italy, have lived in (and loved) Cape Town for many years, but felt there was not a place in the city where they could find the simple, authentic Italian food they had grown up with, in their homeland.

So joining their skills, they opened The Cousins Trattoria, where Andrea makes fresh pasta every morning, using only fresh and natural ingredients, just like Mama does! Bread and tiramisu are baked daily; great coffee and a passion for service makes this easy going place a heaven for the senses.

Buon Appetito!!!

    We were a party of 13 and Blessing, as usual, was fast, helpful and very efficient. Its about the 3rd or 4th time he has waited on us when we've visited the restaurant.

    We celebrated our anniversary of 16 years on Friday night with our kids. Was our first time and we enjoyed it as well as the service from Carmen. The check in by the manage was a nice touch. One meal stood out The Cousins Pasta was a hit.

    As our second time at Cousins we weren’t very happy as the first time. We felt rushed, i mentioned to our waitress that we had a birthday at the table and was told “ okay then order what you want” our first time there it was also a birthday being celebrated and that waiter made our night special. We left not necessarily wanting to come back. If we do we’ll request the waiter we had the first time knowing our experience will be good. food last night was 8/10.
