• There are two Italian spots in Cape Town that consistently vie for my number one spot. The Cousins Trattoria is one! And quite aptly named for this site. Andrea, Simone and Luca are the Italian cousins from Romagna responsible for this intimate, laid-back spot that makes the BEST homemade pasta. Star of the show? The Cousins Pasta - a magnificent dish made up of freshly made taglioni pasta and a simple mushroom-and-cream sauce, theatrically finished off in a giant wheel of parmigiano reggiano – of course.
