The Italian Cousin is a small but charming restaurant that provides excellent service and delicious Italian food. The waitstaff are knowledgeable and friendly, ensuring they accommodate dietary restrictions such as vegetarian options. The restaurant features a cozy atmosphere with two separate seating areas, offering an intimate experience for diners.
Upon being seated, guests enjoy a mixture of olive oil, basil, and parmesan cheese along with a basket of bread, both delightful accompaniments. Recommended appetizers include the mozzarella caprese and fried calamari, known for their fresh ingredients and excellent preparation.
The menu showcases a variety of dishes with standout options like the linguini with white clam sauce, Veal Marsala, and an impressive half mushroom half cheese pizza. The linguini is made with perfectly cooked clams and pasta in a well-balanced white wine and garlic sauce. The Veal Marsala is celebrated for its perfectly prepared veal and balanced mushroom and wine sauce. The pizza, noted for its thin crust and ideal cheese-to-sauce ratio, has received praise as some of the best in Vero Beach.
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. Although it can get a bit loud due to its popularity, the service and food remain outstanding. The restaurant offers generous portions at reasonable prices, making it a consistent favorite for Italian cuisine in the Vero Beach/Sebastian area. It is also family-friendly and wheelchair accessible, ensuring a pleasant experience for all guests.
