    Really like the small neighborhood feel. Good variety on the menu. Had both entrees as well as pizzas and will be re-ordering again soon.

    Numero 28’s menu is fantastic. It has a lot of veg and non veg options and the food is excellent. My family and I went to Italy a couple of months ago and the food at Numero 28 tastes like it came straight from Italy. I can’t stress this enough- the food is very authentic and delicious. We found out the owners of the restaurant are from Italy and all the recipes are straight from there as well, which makes sense because the food is amazing. The ambience and environment is so nice and relaxing. The space is kind of tight but makes for a very intimate evening with your loved ones and friends or a date!

    First time here great corner spot in the Highland Village shopping area… Easy parking. Enjoyed a yummy Italian Cabernet wine tried the caprese salad and a delicious pizza alla Jimmy- both were delicious!The service was fab- outdoor seating was exactly the vibe we were hoping for.. next time we are in the city I will look forward to visiting again.

    Went for dinner with my mom and sister. Restaurant is small and very cozy. The staff were all very polite and attentive. The food was great! We shared the Cacio E Pepe (which was served in a pecorino cheese wheel), the pasta was definitely al dente. The Pappardelle Alla Bolognese was amazing, full of flavor and the Diavola (Aka Pepperoni) was delicious! Will definitely return with hubby to try other things on the menu.
