I came here with my parents around 10 PM on Saturday night. The space is gorgeous; it's cozy and light with great front windows (the front walls are entirely windows) that overlook a quiet, residential block. The room was lit with candles and soft lighting that gave it a romantic, comfortable feel.
The waiter was fantastic and the food was spectacular. My dad and I shared the Arugula salad (fairly basic: arugula, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese with a nice, light balsamic dressing) and a sausage pizza that was enormous (we got a medium–there were plenty of leftovers). My mum ordered the calamari which were delicious (lightly fried, chewy, perfection) and the eggplant Parmesan which I believe is an appetizer but satiated her just fine.
The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is wonderful, the service is great. I HIGHLY recommend Numero 28 for date night or just a nice dining experience.
Have you ever been mad at yourself for not having gone to a place in your neighborhood that's been open for a while, because when you finally go it turns out to be pretty great, so you're kicking yourself for not having gone sooner?
My wife has that problem, except she gets mad at me instead of herself, and she kicks hard.
In any case, we should've been coming in here for the past year because Numero 28 is pretty great. We have a surplus of good pizza in this neighborhood, so we didn't really feel the need to check out another, but this cute little spot off Smith Street offers a lot more.
Namely, delicious fresh pasta:
Lasagna bolognese. Purple gnocchi. Spaghetti with clam sauce. These are things I like to have in my life, and I don't know why I waited so long to eat them at Numero 28, where they do pasta right. The salads are solid (pear, gorgonzola and pancetta are never a bad combination), the apps are good (I don't know what aurora sauce is, but I like dipping calamari in it), and of course they have pizza, but we needed some good lasagna around here now that Brucie is no more, and I like this one.
With regard for the pizza, it's not bad by any means. They offer an array of toppings to place atop a not quite thin, not quite thick crust, and I'm not sad about being able to order at 29" pie. Anything with caramelized onions is a winner, by the way.
But I'm here for the pasta. And the booze, but that goes without saying.
This rustic chic eatery is so much more than just a pizza joint, but they definitely know how to pizza. I was pleasantly surprised by how stylish and spacious this place is. Complete with a full bar and a bartender who, I've heard, makes some rockin' cocktails, I could even see bringing a date here.
My friends and I ordered a carafe of their house red, two apps (kale salad and burrata with eggplant), and two medium pizzas (Capricciosa and Diavola). The kale salad wasn't anything special, but the burrata with eggplant was delicious and unlike anything I'd ever tried before. The pizzas were also very delicious. Thin, but still soft crusts and great, fresh flavors. Just looking at the photos make me hungry.
Note that the mediums are rectangular and about 2.5' long! Definitely enough for 3, or 2 hungry people.
Our bill came to just under $130 before tip; a good value for the amount and quality of food you get!
Pretty disappointing considering we've been going to the other Number 28 establishments in the city. This one did have a nice decor and does accept cards, but the quality wasn't that great compared to the others. Partner got the Capricciosa, and I usually get the Rustica, but they didn't have it. They did have a similar version with Kale. We tried to order some beer but they seemed to be out of everything except the bland stuff. As far as the pizzas go, one was undercooked and the other was burnt. The flavor wasn't there, which was sad since we do like the other restaurants which sold us on flavor. Maybe it was an off night, but it was pretty disappointing to be let down on so many fronts at once. Overall, try the ones in the city if you have a bad experience here.
Beautiful restaurant with authentic Italian pizzas (and staff!). We went in during brunch hours (they do have a brunch menu), but decided to stick with personal pizzas- the Italian way! If you've ever had pizza in Italy, this is going to bring you back to that delicious moment. If not, let me give you a virtual taste. Italian style pizzas are usually 10-12 inches and made for a single person. That's a sort of fun size where you're going to feel really happy (and then really sad) if you eat the whole thing yourself, but you might start slapping your dining partner's hand if you just share one. The pizza is very thin, though not crispy, and has the best quality ingredients and sauce adorning it. Bellissima!
The restaurant is very well done, cozy and chic, and the staff are great. Highly recommend checking it out.
I am so glad I get to update this review with 5 stars because I've really been rooting for Numero 28.
Came for the third time last night at 11:45pm (yes, they were still serving food!) and the service was absolutely stellar. The food, as it's always been, was on point. (So far I've tried the reginella and frichetta pizzas, the homemade fettuccine in tomato sauce topped with fresh basil, and the bruschetta). The classic, fresh flavors plus the kindness of my waiter just made my night.
Thank you, guys. Keep it up!
When this gorgeous space opened up in Cobble Hill, I must have passed it a dozen times before finally grabbing some friends for dinner. The first thing they noticed was the thing I love so much about this place: It's huge! Seriously, it's rare to find something that's warehouse-sized in this 'hood, and it's a nice spot to bring a big group for a meal.
The pizza is amazing (and fairly priced, those complaining didn't comment on the massive size of it). The drinks are also superb–loved the Japanese influence, which was a nod to their chef.
My only complaint is that the service can be a bit slow at times, but hey that might be the Italian way.
Awesome.
The vibe, seating, and music are absolutely awesome and so relaxing. I just wanted to sit there and sip wine all night.
Appetizers: we got the buffalo mozzarella with prosciutto which was incredible and a healthy helping for the 4 of us. My co worker said it was the best he ever had, it was totes good!
Spaghetti: we wanted something to split so we got the bolognese fettuccini which was arguably some of the best homemade pasta I have had and cooked all a denete.
Pizza: note pizzas are HUGE! We got two mediums and I thought they would take over the world! Definitely probably some of the best wood fired pizza I have had. 2 mediums were a lot maybe one medium and a small would have been good. We got the Frichettonne and the Parma, the Parma being my fave and blowing it out of the water, but incredibly delicious though.
This would be excellent to go or bring home for leftovers. I definitely want to/am looking forward to coming back here again.
