Where to Get Authentic Italian Pasta Served in a Cheese Wheel: Numero 28 in River Oaks

If you’re a fan of creamy, cheesy pasta, this is your sign to head to N28 Highland Village for their Cacio e Pepe, tossed in a pecorino cheese wheel for that extra indulgent flavor!

With spring in full swing, their gorgeous patio is the perfect spot to sip on an Aperol Spritz and enjoy fresh, house-made pasta. Every dish at N28 is crafted with authentic Italian flavors, and you can truly taste the difference. The Prosciutto pizza is a must-try, featuring a perfectly crispy yet airy crust that complements the rich, savory toppings.

During our visit, we indulged in the Arancina Tradizionale, a crispy and flavorful starter, along with Prosciutto di Parma con Mozzarella, a classic Italian pairing that never disappoints. The Pappardelle alla Bolognese was rich and slow-cooked to perfection, while the Caesar Salad offered a crisp, refreshing balance to our meal. If you’re planning a visit, take advantage of their half-off wine bottles every Tuesday or their $19.95 lunch menu available Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 3 PM. Their happy hour, Monday through Friday from 4-6 PM, features $9 bites and drinks priced at $10 or under, making it a perfect spot to unwind after work.

Whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch, date night, or happy hour, N28 Highland Village is a must-visit for Italian food lovers.
