An authentic family owned Italian no frills restaurant. Friendly and prompt service. Our food was served within 10 minutes of being ordered on a Saturday night.
Garlic bread as entrees and 2 mains came to a total of $59, decent value but perhaps slightly on the higher end. Would have imagined it to be between $50-55.
Casual & relaxed atmosphere, great for families or a relaxed date night.
i really love my first italian leichhardt pizza at this place perfect balance of all the ingredients. highly recommend to all my fellow Filipino's craving for italian pizza.
Can't fault the place, even though the menu's are a bit sticky, the pizza, the pizza and the especially the gnocchi; marone it's bloody good. This is a place that i can see myself coming to regularly and being welcomed tjme after time. The pizza is not too salty, not too doughy, not burnt but still has the right amount of crunch and flavoursome aroma. Most of all, great value for good food.
First time for a takeaway from Il Cugino. Charles was really helpful and honest when I called to order - not wanting us to over order (which is rare from a commercial business).
Our hungry boys loved the thin crust pizzas and gnocchi & pasta. We will be back soon - good quality and good value!
Awesome traditional Italian food with a family friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices!!! Best restaurant on the street by far run by a beautiful family for the past 30years. Give them a try, you won't regret it!!!
My husband and I have recently rediscovered our love for Il Cugino. We used to go here over 20 years ago pre marriage and kids and this last year have returned and become frequent visitors. We can't go past the pizzas they are excellent. Our favourites are mexicana, continental and the special. Our two girls love the cheese pizza and our boy shares our love for the spicy Mexicana. The pastas are also excellent with the kids loving the Napoletana and me the Arrabiata. The service is excellent, the ambience great, the staff welcoming and the food the best. We rate it 5/5. When we come home from being there our son always asks where's the Il Cugino pizza ? We can't come home without any !! Steve and Lisa
The best place to eat or to get a takeaway. Being going there for over 20 years. The food is very good, the service is fantastic. You feel at home. The best place to be. I don't live locally, but going to Il Cugino is always a special outing!!
An institution of Leichhardt! Family run business with classic unchanged pizza and pasta recipes for almost 3 decades. Staff go that extra mile to learn your name and regular order - never dissapointing.
It is what is says it is. Great little home style Italian cooking that isn't expensive. Nothigh end a culinary experience but honest simple fair and they make you feel like one of the family. Our local for Italian food and Friday night Pizza.
I love the Liver & Onions (cooked perfectly), and grilled Veal & Rocket with sea salt and lemon. All the pasta's are home made and servings are generous.

Outstanding! Very authentic italian food, plentiful and absolutely delicious. The service was excellent and went above and beyond what was expected. Excellent value for money.
Maybe the last truly Italian family food establishment left in Norton Street! If you like a heavy bodied pizza with great flavour, crunchy and chewy pizza base this place delivers! Ask the owner to give you a secret chilli slice! At your risk😁 Their non pizza dishes are great also. And for those that like a heavy coffee (a real coffee in my opinion) you must get a short black no sugar. I'm feeling like pizza writing this!
Great price great service great pizza. Family Business feel. Came here on a whim, can't wait till next time. Thanks for the yummy pizza!
great place for pizza. friendly service . environment is ok as well
just hope the pizza sauce and cheese could be less salty that would make this restaurant perfect
Super friendly staff, very well priced & crispy bases which retain a nice chew. Nothing to complain about & a really delicious meal.
Best pizza 🍕 in Sydney, and friendly family restaurant... wish we could go more often!
Delicious traditional Italian pizza. I've been eating from here for over 20years. The pizza is fantastic.
Love this place. Pop is of course the boss but Charlie makes the best pizzas. A family run pizzeria and you feel that. Always welcoming and friendly. It is cash only and a great laid back place to take the family and friends. Top place.
