The Italian Cousin is a small but charming restaurant that offers excellent service and delicious Italian food. The waitstaff are knowledgeable and friendly, making sure to accommodate dietary restrictions such as vegetarian options. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with two separate seating areas, providing an intimate experience.
Upon being seated, guests are given a mixture of olive oil, basil, and parmesan cheese along with a basket of bread, both of which are delightful. Appetizers like the mozzarella caprese and fried calamari are highly recommended for their fresh ingredients and excellent preparation.
The menu offers a variety of dishes with standout options such as the linguini with white clam sauce and Veal Marsala. The linguini features perfectly cooked clams and pasta with a well-balanced white wine and garlic sauce. The Veal Marsala is among the best, with perfectly prepared veal and a balanced mushroom and wine sauce.
Prices are higher than local pizza joints, but the quality of the food justifies the cost. The restaurant is a popular choice, so reservations are recommended for Friday and Saturday nights. Despite the occasional loudness due to its popularity, the service and food remain excellent. Overall, The Italian Cousin is an excellent choice for Italian cuisine in the Vero Beach/Sebastian area.
