There’s a good chance that the first person you’ll see when you walk into Numero 28 is the owner himself, greeting his customers. “We want to treat every customer like they were coming into our own house,” Leo Gravino of Ancona, Italy, says.
Pasta with cacio e pepe comes in a hollowed-out wheel of Parmesan at Numero 28. Order one and watch neighboring tables follow suit.is the owner himself, greeting his customers. “Hospitality is very important in Italy," Leo Gravino of Ancona, Italy, says."We want to treat every customer like they were coming into our own house.”
The restaurant is cozy, with brick walls and photos of pasta throughout, except for the wall with the giant Aperol Spritz mural perfect for Instagram. We had an early reservation and were seated immediately. It was clear that there were both regulars and newcomers throughout the restaurant, and we overheard the table next to us tell their server they had heard about it through word of mouth. We deliberately went on a Tuesday, which means half-priced bottles of wine.
Our three bruschetta picks were mozzarella, tomato and basil; eggplant, olives and onions; and artichoke and Parmesan.For appetizers, we selected both the arancina vegetariana and the trio bruschette. Arancini is traditionally a small ball of rice stuffed with cheese, coated in breadcrumbs and fried. This was exactly that but super-sized and easily enough for two people.
Desserts are made in-house, and we chose the tiramisu, the chocolate nutella cake and the cannolis. We were a table divided about which was the best but we were unanimous that we’d order any of them again. We finished off our reasonably priced meal with an espresso and limoncello and never felt rushed to leave.
