This mouthwatering gem stems from T-Boy writer, foodie, and photographer\u00a0extraordinaire, Steve Rosenfeld. He seems to have a knack for finding the very best dining venues in the most exotic locations. And, this one compels me to experience The Cousins Trattoria<\/a>, located in Cape Town, South Africa. \u2013 Audrey<\/em><\/p>\n

I think I would be remiss if I did not tell our readers about an Italian restaurant\u00a0 my bride Elaine and I visited when we were in Cape Town, South Africa. The name of the restaurant is The Cousins Trattoria and it was actually started by three cousins \u2013 Luca, Simone and Andrea Biondi \u2013 who came from Italy and somehow ended up in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

Their signature dish is Tagliolini served with cream, mushroom and thyme, but the best part is when the meal is brought out to your table, it is dropped into a large wheel of Grana Padano cheese, which the server brings to the table on a cart, and proceeds to mix the Tagliolini around in the wheel until it picks up the cheese from the wheel, and is then placed back on your plate. We enjoyed it so much, we went back again during our short stay.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere is very warm and intimate, the service great and the conversation enjoyable. I recommend it for anyone who has the good fortune to visit Cape Town.<\/p>\n
