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!!!

    I booked yesterday and I was surprised to find on the bill a single glas of wine for over R170 - I asked the waiter and he said that is ok. Why wasn't it mentioned to us while ordering that this single glas would be almost as expensive as a whole bottle?

    Last night was our second visit. Table of 6. Some of our party was late and your staff were patient and gracious. In fact everyone was lovely from the point of booking all the way through. But my meal, the vegan risotto, wasn't great. Texture ok, taste below par. (The previous visit I had the porcini pasta which was really delicious.) My partner's kingklip arrived cold and we had to send it back for reheating. I think the others enjoyed their meals enough. My whiskey was the smallest tot ever! And the bill was enormous. It just didn't feel justified by the quality. We paid around R300 for a small portion of kingklip and potatoes! We'll wait a while before coming back.
