Wonderful place if you’re looking for a chill & relaxed spot for a birthday dinner or anniversary. Our server, Nico (I hope I spelled that right) was a great service provider & answered any questions we had. The food was amazing!

Good Italian spot. I got takeout and the pasta was prepared well and warm when I picked it up. They didn’t provide utensils but no big deal. I got a few items, listed below with asterisks to indicate what I enjoyed: - pappardelle alla bolognese* - spinach and ricotta cheese ravioli* - gnocchi al pesto - cacio e pepe

What a gem of a restaurant! I was thoroughly impressed with the food and service, starting with the cacho de Pepe, which was utterly delicious made with fresh pasta and the cheese wheel. But the real showstopper was the tiramisu, prepared tableside- definitely one of the best tiramisus I've ever tasted! The ambiance is incredibly cute, adding to the overall charm, and I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonably priced everything was. A must-visit!"

"I've been wanting to visit for quite some time, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! The food was absolutely amazing, and the drinks paired perfectly with our appetizers. The staff provided excellent service, accommodating us even though we were late for our reservation. I will definitely be returning!"

We stopped by numero 28 while running errands in the Highland village area We stopped in for lunch a weekend around noon. There were only a few patrons when we arrived. We had two adults and one child. We had chicken Parmesan, Cacio E Pepe, and margarita pizza. All of the food was delightful. The pizza was probably all three of our favorite. All of the servers were extremely attentive and friendly. There’s only very small seating inside the actual restaurant proper. Maybe 12 small tables. They also have a small covered/shaded patio as well as a side sidewalk patio. This was a great lunch spot on the go with delightful food, and people!

1st time, Daniel was very friendly & attentive. Restaurant was clean, staff friendly. We had Capresse to start. Melanzane Alla Parmigiana (sliced LENGTH WISE-expect eggplant skin). Delicious! Just enough tomato sauce. Cacio E Pepe - served in a cheese WHEEL, but plated at table, wonderful aroma. Delicious! Just enough bread slices for us! Can't wait to try the other dishes! Check out the menu & watch for specials.

Italian here, been in Houston for the past 10 years. This place perfectly catches the atmosphere of an authentic Italian dinner. From their spritz, to their appetizers and their pizzas, the quality of food is top notch. It is obvious that there is a lot of care in choosing high quality products that highlight the flavors of the Italian tradition. Plus, the staff is really dedicated to make your experience excellent! Daniele is very nice and makes a wonderful pizza (along with pizza suggestions for those who are undecided!). Diego is a professional and knowledgeable manager that, with his welcoming manners, came to our table for a very pleasant conversation! You'll want to come back!
