We made a reservation for a large group of people and everyone at Numero 28 was so kind and accommodating!! It was a fantastic experience and the pizzas and appetizers were delicious. I would highly recommend this pizzeria.
I've been here twice. The first time i went the service was pretty bad and the food was average. I gave it a second chance and was pleasantly surprised. Get the carbonara pizza!
This place is hands down my favorite restaurant to get Italian! Everything is soo fresh and delicious and the wine is absolutely amazing! They have indoor and outdoor seating options and you can even sit up at the bar and watch the pizzas cook. We've never had a bad experience here and the service is great! I recommend going for lunch or happy hour when it's nice and quiet, but dinner has a very romantic vibe with candle light and intimate seating
Came for drinks with my partner on a Sunday (aperol spritz for me and a prosecco for her) after a stressful morning regarding her health. We brought our dog, who isn't social with other dogs, so had to sit 2 tables away, under the edges of the awning on a hot day: One of us was covered, the other wasn't, which was awkward, so we switched halfway (we made it work). The service was otherwise great, with great people-watching, both of the clientele and the people on 2nd Avenue. Didn't try the food, but will, obv. not on Friday nights. The music being pumped outdoors was perfect! One star off for serving with single-use plastic straws EXCEPT UPON REQUEST which is against city rules since NOVEMBER 2021, OMG
Delicious food and wonderful Neapolitan atmosphere (in The Lower East Side, anyway). Nothing like traveling with 23 hungry teenagers to NYC and finding this fabulous place 2 blocks from the hotel. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, and we spent our first night in the City lingering at our tables and enjoying delicious salads, fried calamari, and incredibly humongous pizzas.
Overall this place is amazing ! The service and food is great. We were a large group (10+) and they got all our orders correct which is shocking as most places tend to get things mixed up. Also for the price you really get your moneys worth. The portions are all shareable and everything tasted delicious. The gambari with mussels is a bit spicy but I did not mind as I enjoy spicy food. I would definitely return.
TL;DR Rowdy but decent dinner spot. Recommend both the pizza and pasta! Food (5/5) - Pizza was great - crust was crispy, toppings held onto the sauce and the dough. Good variety of toppings as well - mushrooms and proscuitto was a good contrast in the Capricciosa but also not too salty.. Pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce consistency was pretty perfect, no breakage. Tiramisu was pretty good, not too soggy or too dry. Pretty good kick of brandy. Price (4/5) - Spent probably 30 apiece for two mains and a dessert. Not bad as far as NYC goes. Service (3/5) - Came here at 8pm, food was served at 9:45 and I had to leave at 10:15. Really long wait and no one really told us why it was taking so long. It was a busy Friday but still. Ambiance (3/5) - Will say I had to shout to hear what my friend was saying across the table at all times and the table was a little wobbly, not to mention small. It could barely hold both our dishes! In terms of lighting, definitely on the darker side and the area near the French windows at the front can get a little drafty.
i was on my way to angelikas and needed a bite. obviously it's les so i wasn't expecting cheap but i didn't want to leave having spent $50 either. numero 28 was perfect! i walked in and sat myself at the bar. there was a live band playing and overall just a great rustic vibe. nothing felt overly contemporary and as soon as i started getting served, i knew it was authentic italian. the owner (i think) walked me through the menu and the prices were great. entrees topped out in the mid 20s and personal pizzas were all around 17. cocktails topped out at 15 and beers were around 6 dollars. amazing value for what you're getting. i had been craving pizza and i was looking for something relatively light so that's what i got. the readily offered up the chili oil and they didn't tiptoe around the heat. paired with an italian lager and a one of their cocktails, the experience was great. i'll definitely be going back for more of an entree situation and would definitely recommend! the
Dined here with a party of three. Was quickly seated and felt as if you're in someone's home - the restaurant is tucked a few feet below ground level making the experience feel warm and cozy. The pizza was great - the Capricciosa was my favorite - Delicious flavorful prosciutto with earthy mushrooms to contrast. They all were great, the tartufo could've used some more truffle oil and a touch of salt. Nice menu with fair amount of traditional options that I'd like to try in the future. Items were all reasonably priced. Peroni listed on the menu was $6, but was charged $7. The bottle of pino noir was great as well. This place offers a warm and welcoming experience to have great tasting brick oven pizza and other typical Italian fare that could easily become a routine spot for some.
