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!!!

    it is always a pleasure to dine here. we have enjoyed several very special occasions here - we dont mind the rather long driver - it always is more than worthwhile. everything about this restaurant is beyond special

    Most amazing meal in a long time out. Gnocchi is the best I ever had. Wow. Langoustine pasta and the new mascarpone and white chocolate cake is off the hook.
