Cousins Italian Deli is a bustling spot for lunch and dinner, known for its quick service despite its popularity. The menu features a delicious sub and a standout slice of carrot cake, which has been praised for its phenomenal taste. The owner and staff are friendly and welcoming, creating a pleasant dining experience. One popular option is the long roll, which offers great value for the price. A cold sandwich called Cousins on a round bun is also a highlight, with every bite bursting with flavor and freshness.
The weekend dinner at Cousins Deli is a special event that requires reservations booked months in advance. Dinner is served family-style with one seating each night, accommodating many guests in the limited space. The atmosphere can be quite loud, but the food makes it worth it. The menu includes various appetizers, a huge salad with pepperoncini, and a delicious pasta a la vodka. The main entrée, chicken piccata, is served in massive portions. Guests can also enjoy a dessert plate featuring carrot cake, biscotti, and cannolis. The restaurant is BYOB, allowing guests to bring their drinks, and leftovers can be taken home, ensuring no food goes to waste.
