This is where the magic begins. 🇮🇹🍝

Before Cappelletti reaches your table, it starts here - carefully folded by hand, stuffed with a rich, traditional filling, and made with the kind of patience that only real Italian cooking demands.

Worth every fold.

Heat, depth, and a little attitude. 🌶️🍝

Our Tagliolino Arrabbiata is everything a great Italian pasta should be - silky handmade tagliolino coated in a rich, fiery tomato sauce with just the right amount of kick.

Simple. Bold. Absolutely worth it.

Some restaurants tell a story. At The Cousins, it's part of who we are. 🇮🇹❤️

Our heritage wall is a tribute to the generations of family who have kept the tradition of handmade pasta alive. From the very first opening to the family members who shaped our journey, every photograph represents a chapter of our history, our passion, and our Italian roots.

When you dine with us, you're not just enjoying a meal, you're becoming part of a family tradition that's been shared across generations.

Meet Andrea. 🇮🇹❤️

The chef behind the recipes, the handmade pasta, and so much of what makes The Cousins feel special.
His passion for Italian food is evident in every dish that leaves the kitchen, but it's his warmth, kindness, and genuine love for people that guests remember long after the meal is over.

Whether he's sharing stories, explaining a recipe, or welcoming guests through the door, Andrea brings the heart of Italian hospitality to everything he does.

And we're lucky to have him.

Cappelletti is a true labour of love, requiring skill, patience, and years of tradition to perfect. 🇮🇹🍝

In this video, Andrea takes you behind the scenes to show how our handmade Cappelletti comes to life, from carefully preparing the filling to folding each piece by hand, just as it's been done in Italy for generations.

Now featured on our Winter Menu, this is comfort food at its finest.
