No. 28

Went to a new place called No. 28

It's tucked behind Crate & Barrel in Highland Village.

Place is small but also has covered patio seating.

We started out with Calamari - my only complaint is that they went ahead and squeezed the lemon on there.  So some of it is soggy and not crunchy and definitely more zingy than the other ones.  I guess that's the other bit, either have it everywhere evenly or don't do it.  Wasted a good dish.

Then we got the meatballs.  It was really good and we saw how much sauce that came with we went and ordered the bread basket.  They charged $9 for the bread basket.  Reason being it's really just plain pizza bread with olive oil.  So, you decide if that's worth it or not.

Then, the piece de resistant!  I came here just for this.  It's Cacio de Pepe.  They really brought the whole wheel out.  

Then they twirl...

...and twirl.

Here's the result.  I'm not unhappy seeing this much cheesy goodness and she scraped the melty cheesy for us.  YUM!  Sadly, this is probably the only thing I would come back for, so that will be a short visit.

When we got here, there were more servers than clients.  Almost all of them were training.  I was surprised that they didn't have experienced servers applying to work there.  A lot of them, seems very green when it comes to service industry.  

They do have a decent wine list, and pizza and pasta are good for grown ups and kiddos alike.  In the evening, the shopping center do get filled up so get there a tad early to get a parking spot.  There's a few, just have to have patience and look.
