No 28 - Gnocchi with pesto and shrimp! - Italian Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

I thought that No. 28 is an upgrade of eateries for the Bastrop neighborhood. The food is delicious. The atmosphere is delightful.

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! read more

No 28 - Cannelloni con Funghi :-) - Italian Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

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. read more

No 28 - Menu - Italian Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

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! read more

No 28 - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

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. read more

We went to Numero 28 to celebrate our son's fiance graduation and we could not have asked for a better experience. From the wait staff to the food, everything was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our waiter, Michael, he truly made our experience unforgettable. The food was excellent, from the appetizers of garlic bread to the fried ravioli, to the main dishes of Lasagna Bolognese, Pollo de Parmigiana, and Cacio E Pepe. We will definitely be going back and would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great time. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Took my wife to dinner for our anniversary. She chose No. 28 and I'm glad we did. We visited Rome almost 2 years ago and ate Caico de Pepe for the first time. No. 28 had it on their menu and did not disappoint. Watching the waiter melt the pecorino romano with the pasta to create the sauce was amazing and the flavor took me back to the sidewalk cafe in Rome . My wife ordered the hazelnut gelato, which our waiter said was imported from Italy and said the cases in the freezer have not a word of English ". I have had SEVERAL samples (let's call them samples) of gelato in Italy, as it seems there is a gelato shop and a pharmacia on every block. Outstanding flavor. Definitely going back, much more convenient than getting back to Rome! read more

Authentic Italian, not frozen stuff like olive garden. Clean, and a courteous staff serving good cocktails and good wines. Would recommend more meat dishes be added to menu. The homemade pastas and pizzas are on point. Fresh served homemade gelato as well. 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

This quaint, family owned, Italy-inspired, Authentic Italian Ristorante & Pizzeria is a must visit. We stumbled upon Numero28 Pizzeria in Bastrop TX while being vendors at an event at the Convention Center and, OH WOW, we are so glad we did. The first night's dining was so fantastic that we made a reservation for the following night! The owners and staff are so kind, accommodating and attentive. Most importantly, the food is A+++! The ingredients are clean, healthy, and fresh, making for delicious and nutritious meals. The salads are delicious, chicken parmigiana was excellent, pasta is freshly made and fantastic. Some of the best Italian food I have had in Texas! Our server, Michael, is a true gem and made our visit over the top. His attention to every detail made our entire experience. He was so overwhelmingly wonderful and fun, that he was the main reason for our second visit. Numero28 Bastrop is beyond extraordinary, and I would highly recommend you visit. Thank you Michael and family for the memories! We are already looking forward to and planning our next visit. 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

Bastrop Location: AMAZING food! Best meatballs I've ever had in my entire life! They are so good! Husband had the chicken Parmesan and it to was amazing! Service was great, we sat at the bar and got to talk to some of the owners! Very nice! Tried the hazelnut and vanilla gelato and also very good! We waited an hour and 1/2 to get a spot but right when we were next in line a spot at the bar came open. I'll say it was worth the wait! 10/10 I even got some spaghetti & meatballs to go! Historic building on Main Street so of course the atmosphere was great! read more

What did we have? Carpaccio, cannelloni, gnocchi, and gelato. All were delicious, timely and hot with the exception of the gelato which, of course was served cold. The service? Excellent. Attentive without being overbearing or annoying. Ambiance? The place would fit in New York or Rome. Well done, keep the standard high and you've got a gold mine. read more

First time dining here at the Bastrop location. We had heard good things and thought we would try it out for our anniversary on a Sunday night around 6pm and there was a short wait. Small, busy restaurant inside. Food was delicious. We tried the arancina tradizionale as an appetizer and a couple of cocktails and they were all great. I had the cacio e pepe pasta and the wife had the penne boscaiola. Both were amazing. We finished the meal off with tiramisu and gelato. The tiramisu was a generous size and made for sharing. Overall the entire experience was excellent. I watched a lot of different plates being served on other tables that looked equally impressive. Will definitely be back to try more things on the menu. Five stars! read more
