Numero28 Austin

numero28 has a very lovely and cozy ambiance, especially the outdoor seating area when the weather is nice. the service was also super friendly and fast, which made the experience pleasant overall. they have some good happy hour deals, but the margherita flatbread had a bit too much crust and not enough sauce, so it ended up tasting a little dry. the bolognese was somewhat bland and the pasta itself was slightly hard. the cacio e pepe felt a bit more gimmicky than anything and didn't really stand out flavor-wise. the cannelloni con funghi was heavy on the cheese and oil, though the flavors came through a bit better than the other dishes. we did get free cannolis for our birthday celebration, which was a really sweet gesture and definitely appreciated. overall, the vibes and service were good, but the food felt pretty mid for the price, so it's probably not somewhere i'd rush back to.

Best Italian restaurant I've been in the US for 3 months! You can tell it is an actual Italian restaurant, delicious food, lovely staff, more than reasonable prices, authentic decoration... I ordered the pasta alla norma which was al dente. I assumed their tiramisu would be top as soon as I saw that AC Milan scarf and it didn't disappoint! Bellisimo ristorante, don't miss it when in Austin❤️

This place has more of a family business vibe, friendly staff. Austin pizza was great except for the fact that they burnt it up a bit. Cozy atmosphere and nice decor!

Good Italian restaurant with decent choices of pizza, pasta and other items. Unfortunately didn't find anything outstanding about it, dishes were good, better than usual pizza places but was hoping for a stand apart kinda taste which was lacking. Can't try if you are in the area. Outdoor and indoor seating available. Host is polite and welcoming. Staff is decent and service is usually fast.

Visited Numero 28 in Downtown Austin and absolutely loved the experience! It’s a cozy and authentic Italian restaurant with a great vibe and a perfect downtown location. The atmosphere feels warm and welcoming — ideal for both casual dinners and special outings. I tried their pizza, caprese, and pasta, and all three dishes were amazing. The pizza was thin, crisp, and flavorful with a true Italian touch. The caprese was fresh and beautifully presented, while the pasta was perfectly cooked with rich, balanced flavors. Everything tasted authentic and freshly made. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the overall service matched the quality of the food. Combined with the pleasant ambiance and convenient location, this place easily stands out among Austin’s Italian dining options. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious Italian food in a relaxed, charming setting.
