    The quality of food does not match the prices. Staff doing the best they can with the limited space and poor configuration of the restaurant.

    First visit for my wife and I and we were very pleased with the whole experience. The menu is not simple but it’s not overly extensive making selections easy. We found everything from our bar orders, bruschetta with mozzarella done 3 ways starter, focaccia bread with fresh olive oil to drizzle, and our mains fresh, delicious and very authentic. The tiramisu finished table side is maybe the best and freshest we’ve ever had. The dinning room is small and intimate, almost feels like you’re in a small Italian village. There is outside seating that would be ok on a summers evening but not so much earlier in the day. We are looking forward to our next visit to further explore the menu.

    We had such a lovely time at Numero28! Very friendly staff and the food was phenomenal! We ordered the cacio e pepe, the numero 28 pizza, and an arugula salad to split. Everything was fantastic, the Cacio is a MUST! The service was great and they even treated us to some complimentary cannolis for dessert. This place is a must try!

    Since the first time we had the cacio e pepe, we were hooked! We've been back a few times, and it never disappoints. The waitstaff is always professional, courteous, and timely. Numero28 feels so authentic, it really is a great little place with great food! The meatballs are very tasty and the marinara sauce is on-point. Our friends also had the cacio e pepe, as well as a pepperoni pizza. Both were well loved! One thing I'd like to point out, the caprese was under seasoned and the tomatoes weren't firm enough. The dish needed more salt, pepper, basil, and balsamic drizzle. We also loved the wine selection, and were very happy with our choice.

    This was our first time here. It won't be the last. Everyone was very satisfied with their meal. We started with the Garlic Focaccia Bread Basket and Polpette (veal meatballs). I had the Cacio E Pepe which was served from a cheese wheel. I added grilled chicken on the side. My wife had the Prosciutto Panini. our friends had Pappardelle Alla Bolognese and Penne Alla Boscaiola. The portions were so big, we all had to-go boxes. For dessert, my wife and I shared a tiramisu and they shared the cannolis. The tiramisu was light and tasty. Our friend is full-blooded Italian from Long Island and he commented on how the shell tasted homemade and the filling was perfect. My only regret is that we shared the desserts. They were so good, we wanted more than just a portion. The place is a hidden gem figuratively and literally. It's in a shopping center tucked behind a building. If you want good, tasty Italian food. This is the place.
