Delicious Italian Food

Numero 28 is known for its tasty Italian dishes. They offer different kinds of pizza, both round and square. These pizzas are made in the Neapolitan style, which means they have a special crust. You can choose from red pizzas with tomato sauce or white pizzas without it. They also have pizzas that are gluten-free.

What's on the Menu?

Beyond pizza, Numero 28 has a full menu of other Italian favorites. You can start with antipasti, which are small appetizers. They also serve parmigiana di melanzane, a yummy eggplant dish. Another popular starter is bruschetta, toasted bread with toppings. Fresh salads are also available.

For main courses, they make their own traditional pastas. You might find dishes like gnocchi, which are soft potato dumplings. To drink, they offer classic Italian beverages like americanos. The head chef, Ramon Duran, has many years of experience. He worked at a famous restaurant called Gino's for 40 years before joining Numero 28.

What People Think

Food critics and guides often review restaurants. In 2013, a well-known guide called Zagats reviewed Numero 28. They gave its food a high rating of 24 out of 30. Zagats especially liked the rectangular pizzas. They said these pizzas had "perfectly crisp–crusted" edges. This special crust comes from being cooked in wood-fired brick ovens.
