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!!!

    A fabulous dinner at Four Cousins last night. The atmosphere is authentically Italian, the staff friendly and knowledgeable, and the manager, Andreas, was so warm and generous — he even treated us to a complimentary round of drinks. The food was outstanding, and we ended up staying until very late. We'll definitely be back.

    We had a fantastic meal and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our visit. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the evening without ever being intrusive. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented, packed with flavour, and clearly prepared with great care and attention to detail. A special mention must go to the Negroni, which was one of the best I've had—perfectly balanced, expertly mixed, and a wonderful way to begin the meal. What impressed us most was the combination of outstanding food, exceptional service, and excellent value for money. It's rare to find a restaurant that delivers such a high-quality dining experience at such a reasonable price. We left thoroughly impressed and will certainly be returning. Highly recommended to anyone looking for delicious food, superb cocktails, and genuinely first-class hospitality.
