We had a table of 10 on Friday night and everything was spot on. Arrived at 6 and were seated and started a fabulous dining experience, certainly one of the best in Wilmington.The service was very attentive and everything from the Homemade Bruschetta to the Pasta course to the Main course were delicious. All of us will certainly be back for another great dinner. Thank You to Joe and his staff for a great dinner.

Great experience! We were there for their weekend family style 6 course dinner. You get a lot of food and can take home what was served to your table that wasn't eaten. Only negative is that it's loud. Joe, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with through many reservation wait-lists and changes. And, he came around to our table to say hello. Nice people.

Did not understand all the TikTok rave. We were disappointed overall. As a date night for us, the atmosphere was lacking. Party of 14 was loud and was not suitable for such a small place. The starter lacked flavor and the bread was extremely hard. The salad was good but was basically greens. Pasta sauce did have flavor, but pasta seemed under cooked. The appetizers were okay, but again lacked flavor. The chicken had no color and was bland. The broccoli was over cooked. Desert was okay. As for service it could have been just our server, because one of the other servers that was coming around seemed a lot more pleasant. I really think they are trying to do too much to satisfy their new found fame base. Going from doing date nights to just filling tables. I wish my wife and I had been when they were not TikTok famous. I really feel like they need to go back to doing date nights, if only some.

I’ve been to cousins deli once for dinner and twice for lunch. The food is very good and it’s a nice family style meal. Dinner is BYO which is rare in NC and much appreciated. For dinner, we all agreed that the eggplant rollatini was the best! The chicken they served us was not great. The salads, appetizers, and pasta were very

The four of us went to Cousins Deli for their family style dinner on Friday night. Each dish brought out was more delicious than the last. Service was also 5 star and I would definitely recommend to anyone. I will be back again. ps. I have been here for lunch dozens of times and all the food is fresh and tasty.

Nice little place to grab a sandwich. I got the long roll and barely ate it all. Plenty of meat with a nice balance of veggies. The tomato was really good. The Italian dishes weren't available when I went. Hopefully they still do those.

Got really lucky with last minute reservations for the family style dinner. It was delicious and so much food. I now see what the hype is about. 10/10
Worst ever meatball parm. The meat was actually white. Never saw a meatball ever look like this. My mom and grandma were Italian. No sauce that should be on a parm and the cheese was almost not there. Me and my wife drove from Shallotte to the deli looking for something worthy. Wrong place.

Worst chicken parmigiana I've ever had. Chicken tasted like it was in the refrigerator for several days, barely any sauce, which actually had no flavor, and not a nice crisp, Italian bread as it should be served on. It cost $13 and the sandwich was pretty big so I asked if it could be made on a roll and they said no. I'm from Brooklyn, living in Wilmington now and still looking for good Italian food. Won't be back.

I am a big foodie and have been to a lot of places. The Cousins restaurant is definitely within my top ten choices in downtown Wilmington. They took time to learn the right pronunciation of my name and made every encounter so pleasant. It has such a safe and kind environment that feels like I’m just eating my lunch at home!
