One of the most genuine and authentic places I've ever found. Excellent food with all the flavors of tradition, great service, and great bill. I recommend booking ahead.

My cousin is always my cousin. I've been going there for years. Time has stood still there. The traditional cuisine is always excellent.

Osteria dal Cugino is a recommended stop in Dipignano for those seeking authentic Cosenza cuisine, featuring authentic flavors and generous portions. The restaurant has a traditional, family-friendly atmosphere, reminiscent of old-fashioned osterias.
The food is excellent: simple yet well-executed dishes, made with genuine ingredients. Be sure to try the Cugino appetizer and the traditional first courses, rich and flavorful. The portions are generous, and the quality/price ratio is excellent.
The service is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is welcoming and informal, ideal for lunches with friends or simple dinners, showcasing local cuisine.
Overall, a positive experience, recommended for those who love authentic, unfussy Calabrian cuisine. 👍

Il Cousin is an institution of traditional local cuisine. A top place to enjoy good food. Cesare, the host, is a real gem: polite, empathetic, and very courteous. He's taken over the family reins and continues the tradition. The restaurant is a destination for important figures from the worlds of culture, entertainment, politics, and even the common people. I highly recommend it 🤞

I was there way back in 2009! I went back two weeks ago and the legendary cousin did not disappoint! Everything was excellent, but the real highlight was the cousin's tagliatelle! The atmosphere was very friendly, and the cousin who hosts us is a living legend! We'll be back soon.

I went there for a birthday party, and I have to say the food was excellent; the handmade tagliatelle were excellent. It's a shame the place is a bit small; you almost couldn't move your chair to get up. The staff was friendly and quick.

Osteria dal Cousin is located in Dipignano and is a classic of Cosenza cuisine. The restaurant is historic, and the many photos inside testify to its longevity and iconic status, portraying all the important guests who have passed through. The portions are generous and the food is exceptional. The meatballs, the antipasto, and the fusilli or gnocchi are especially must-try. Cesare is a warm and attentive host who effectively continues the restaurant's tradition. I highly recommend a visit 😁🍝🍷

Recommended by residents of Paterno for lunch. We were looking for authentic Calabrian dining experiences and we found one here. It was a real treat.
