    The lasagna and the pappardelle bolognese were delicious. The wine selection was amazing and bonus, we were thee on Christmas Eve and all bottles were half off. We had an amazing Brunello. I am still joyfully looking for a Cacio e Pepe dish in HTX that rivals that in Italy. This offering does not make the cut. There was a thickening base to the dish and the cheese and butter were not prevalent. The tiramisu was awesome and had a surprising service. The servers were attentive and prompt.

    Dinner with friends at Numero28 was fantastic, it was our first time to dine in and we really enjoyed enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and the level of service. Their pasta dishes were great!

    This was our first time to visit here. The service was very good as well as our entrees. They were very accommodating as traffic was horrible and we were very late for our reservation.

    Numero28 was a delightful surprise. We were looking for a new place to try in celebration of my mom's 83rd birthday. This was perfect - the noise level was low...good lighting...small and comfortable...great service...awesome weekday cocktail special...wonderful food (you must order the cacio e pepe)...amazing desserts - the cannoli was to die for and the tiramisu presentation is NOT TO BE MISSED! Overall, a home run for celebrating a birthday!

    We had a pasta out of the menu (rigatoni alla norma - special of the day) and a pappardelle alla bolognese that were really good!
