Decided to try out this new Italian restaurant we been hearing about. It was busy on a Sunday afternoon, all tables looked fully booked. Got food to go, for a family of 5... Chicken Parmesan was tasty! Wish it had more marinara sauce on the pasta because it soaked up into the noodles quickly on the drive back home. The chicken itself was delicious, crispy and cheesy! The pepperoni pizza was quite expensive for what it is. About $26- $28? We were pretty bummed because my sister in law was missing her cacio e pepe pasta that she had ordered... when we called the restaurant stating the check list it was marked off like it was inside the bag, they apologized and would call us back with the options of what could be done. We already made the drive back home and it would have been an inconvenience to drive back that way.. it was just an unfortunate mishap, they let us know they would refund the pasta back to the card.
My favorite place to come for dinner or lunch, with friends, family or alone! From the drinks to the food and desserts, it's all amazing. I am working my way through trying everything on the menu and can say I have yet to be disappointed. They have a great charcuterie board and have a specific kind of olive (Castelvetrano) that they so kindly have reminded me every time I visit what they're called. I don't even like olives and I love these! Same with the caprese salad, hate raw tomatoes my entire life but somehow they have convinced me other wise and I order it every time I come. Their salads and homemade dressings are phenomenal and the pastas I will rank from most favorite are the: Bucatini, Bolognese, Parmigiana (chicken), Gnocci Pesto, Ravioli and Cacio E Pepe (just not a big pepper fan but the presentation was really cool). All of them are perfectly cooked and flavors are amazing it's hard to pick anytime I go! The pesto pizza was also a great choice. I can't leave without a vanilla gelato cone or if it's early enough I'll get affagato. Every waiter/waitress/bartender I have had has always been so nice and helpful. I always enjoy sitting at the bar if no tables are available and if you're lucky enough you may get to meet meowmeow himself. The outside seating area is so cute and even in the summer heat we enjoyed it out there. Such a hidden gem I almost don't want to post a review so we can keep it to ourselves! Such a great place and happy to have somewhere like this to go in Bastrop.
Well, Bastrop has a taste of the big city here. If I have it right there is a No 28 in Austin. I dropped in on a early Saturday evening hoping to get a seat at the bar, which I did. The place was hopping. I would say a reservation is typically necessary. The service was nice. I got the Cacio E Pepe and the Caprese to start. The bartender recommended a California Cabernet. I can't recall the name but is was quite nice. Now for the take on the meal. Caprese, tomatoes are out of season and the mozzarella was not very good, a "C" at best. Then the Cacio E Pepe was abysmal, I am not sure what happened. Just look at the picture I posted, "D". Not going to be returning.
They offer a menu of apps, salads, Southern Italian pasta and NY pizza, along with Gelato, desserts, beer, wine and cocktails. There's chicken parmegiana and eggplant parmegiana. But entrees are pretty much pasta or pizza. Still... the pasta is obviously made from scratch, and that's not something I expected in Bastrop, so I'm very pleased. I have not tried the pizza. It looked good. But in my next visit I'll try the pasta that's served in a cheese rind. And the time after that I'm probably reorder exactly what I tried last night, which is the Cannelloni Funghi - three amazing tubes of fresh pasta, stuffed with Italian cheese and a bit of veal mince, and topped with a mushroom cream sauce and a liberal amount of shaved parmesan cheese. So rich and velvety and flavorful! Yes, they offer fresh ground black pepper :-) I had what the waiter described at "spumoni" but it was not spumoni ice cream - it was what he described as an "adult milkshake" with a chocolate liqueur and brandy. It was really tastey. They say they have "chocolate chip gelato" lol. But don't get fooled, it's authentic Italian stracciatella! That's so iconic in Italy. It's really sad that the waiter called it "chocolate chip." Hardly does it justice, as you'd know if you've tried it. Their $15 cocktails are really good. But who puts Jim Beam in a Manhattan, Negroni or an Old Fashion? One of the drinks had Templeton Rye, which was an infinitely better choice. I mean... Jim Beam? Really? I should have taken a star off for that... especially at that price. But... dang, that cannelloni was good!
There was a line outside waiting for the door to open on a Sunday afternoon. My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and were not disappointed! We splurged and ordered the cocktails (the margarita is phenomenal), fried ravioli (tasty), split a Caesar salad (one of the best we've had), a large pepperoni pizza, cacio e Pepe (pasta in cheese bowl) with meatballs, and dessert: cannoli, gelato, and the chocolate cake (w/an espresso martini). The service was fabulous and the ambiance was great with classic Italian music playing the background and cute touches of modern Italian decor. Very glad to see another nice, delicious restaurant come alive in Bastrop!
So glad they have come to Bastrop. I've been to the one in Austin a few times so I knew the food is delicious and the ingredients are fresh. Same goes for Bastrop. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful throughout our entire meal. We ordered a bottle of red, skipped apps this time but there are so many options at different price points which is greatly appreciated. I got the gnocchi pesto, the flavor was perfect and the portion was generous- the gnocchi were fluffy and cooked just right. My husband ordered the lasagna, the piece was large and he enjoyed the flavors. We will be adding No 28 to our list of Bastrop favorites to try out more of the menu!
Always amazing! Try the Pepe pasta in the cheese ring dish it was so fun and made an experience !
We chose Numero 28 Bastrop to celebrate my birthday and couldn't have been happier with the experience. We had reservations and were seated right away with friendly, attentive service throughout the evening. The Pollo Alla Parmigiana and Penne Alla Boscaiola were both incredible--rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. A glass of Cabernet paired beautifully with dinner, and the Tiramisu and Cannolis were the perfect way to end the meal. Amazing food, wonderful atmosphere, and spectacular service. Highly recommend--we'll definitely be back!
Great atmosphere well trained staff. Food is authentic and very flavorful. There is a full bar, wine and beer, including mocktails! Definitely will continue to dine at this restaurant. Only open for dinner at this time.
My husband and I enjoyed mid week dinner at No 28. We've attempted to try this new spot a couple of times but they've always had a long wait. This time we walked in and were seated right away. This quaint spot on Main Street Bastrop has been nicely renovated and includes a full bar and gelato case. The menu included several apps, NY style pizzas, pastas and salads. Our waiter, Michael provided excellent service, offering suggestions and even holding our entree orders until our appetizer arrived. The calamari was good and the zucchini was a nice addition. Not long after finishing our app, our mains arrived. The pasta was served in a skillet which was a novel touch. It was perfectly al dente and the meat sauce was nicely balanced and flavorful. My husband said the pizza was among the best he's had and he didn't leave the end crust as he typically does. We fully enjoyed our dining experience and plan to return. Hope to try the gelato next time!
I am volunteering at the state park in Bastrop and was pleasantly surprised to find this hidden little gem. The Service was outstanding. The food was phenomenal. We have visited this location three times now.

Bastrop is very lucky to have a place like this. Very nice Italian inspired pizza. Everything here seems to be house made. We went at a time that was expected to be busy. We got a lucky seat at the bar and had wonderful and enlightening service from the bar server and the owner. Seems like we have a lot in common once again. Food was delightful and another refreshing taste of Bastrop. CritDicks read more

This is a new Italian restaurant that has opened in Bastrop. The service was exceptional, the ambiance was very nice, and the food was good. My only concern was pricing. The pepperoni pizza was good however the price of $26.00, for the size, was a bit high. The pizza was a little bigger than 8 bite size pieces (picture attached), which would be better priced at $18.00. Totally understand having to pay for space, food, and employees but this is Texas, not New York. read more

From the warm greeting at the door, to the waiter that takes the time to get you familiar with the new restaurant it was great. The two personal pizzas were delicious. The prosciutto on my wife's pizza was the best I've ever had. My Austin pizza crust was amazing. I hear a Bastrop pizza is coming soon! The tables are close together so be ready to meet your neighbors. The bonus to close encounters is you can see all the amazing dishes that arrive around you. My only negative comment is that I like cold beer and my Peroni arrived at room temperature. read more

It's literally the best homemade Italian food I've ever had. I'm one of those menu lookers ahead of time and stay in my comfort zone. Not here, at this point I'm trying everything on the menu. So far not one thing wasn't absolutely amazing. The owners, staff, service...can't say enough of just go honestly. Go early or expect a wait as it's worth it. Pro top: BBC is next door to grab a drink if you need to wait. Ambiance is well done and you'll never feel rushed, just welcomed. read more
