This is honestly one of the best Italian restaurants i have had the pleasure of being able to dine at. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is warm and feels like a giant hug. Their Cousin's special pasta is what i fall asleep dreaming about. Simple dishes with the most amazing flavour and fresh high quality ingredients.We have never had a bad experience and I'm pretty sure they were a big reason why we moved to Cape Town, This has become our local celebration spot and we will keep coming back! its what dining at an Italian restaurant should be.
Dinner club with friends. Our table of 18 was handled very well, even during the taxi strikes and violence around the city. It was awesome to see the managers and owners getting involved in front of house serving the tables because they were low on staff. Very good intro to the menu and specials. Very knowledgeable. Interesting menu with loads of fresh pasta options. I took the seafood option with the squid ink. I tried something I don't usually try and it was very tasty and fresh. Pasta is not my "go to" at a restaurant but it was very good. I had the veal meat balls for starters which were also very good and then the chocolate temptations for dessert. They were delicious and you could drink the chocolate sauce like hot chocolate. Very yummy. Staff were friendly and knew their stuff and the food was very nice. Well done and thank you for the awesome evening.

We were admittedly a little dubious about the location of the restaurant, as Barrack Street is where the Home Affairs Offices are and during the day absolute mayhem. We had a reservation at 7pm, and the street in that part of town was actually rather quiet at that hour, and we even managed to find a few parking bays in front of the restaurant.
The restaurant itself is nothing spectacularly beautiful, rather old, and well used, but we loved the homey feel! And the aromas wafting through the restaurant upon our arrival had our mouths watering before we even sat down. The restaurant was fully booked when we arrived at 7 pm, and the table before us was in the process of settling their bill, so I reckon the restaurant was fully booked from 5pm even. Making a reservation is a necessity.
Customer Service was incredibly efficient! We never sat for a moment wondering where our waiter was, and this restaurant has definitely the fastest time between placing an order to receive your meal. The meal portion size was extremely generous and so incredibly tasty! Cousins offers authentic Italian meals, which will put some of the other "Italian" restaurants in town to shame! And we thought their prices were rather reasonable!
