I came to visit my Mother and we went to church and she wanted to take me out for a bite to eat she mentioned 528 and what a good choice. I had the Seafood Lasagna and she got the crab cake with shtimp, we both enjoyed our lunch. Deliciousness is all I can say. If you are traveling thorough or to Tappahannock and looking for a nice atmosphere and Delicious food I recommend 528.

Myself and two others went close to closing, and went to grab the door and realized that it was shut already, but the owner saw us and came outside to catch our attention before we could walk away. Welcomed us in and Evyn gave us some fries on the house. Great guy great service and then there came the food the Cheese steak was phenomenal. Fries were excellent and the cheesecake was amazing. His homemade Capo Sauce is fantastic as well, I HIGHLY recommend!

Came here to eat a few months ago and my experience wasn’t the best. Today I decided to try them again and I thank God I did. This time I was welcomed, I met the owner whose customer service was amazing, my Philly was amazing, and that Capo Sauce is to die for. I’m so happy I gave them another chance. If you want a real Philly and an experience worth your money please stop in here today! May God bless your establishment and everything you and your family do. Shalom!

528 Italian in a true gem! My husband and I, along with my sisters had AN AMAZING meal. EVERYTHING is fresh/scratch made, in house. The drinks, appetizers, pizza, bread and entrées were phenomenal. Thank you Tony and staff for a wonderful experience. WE WILL BE BACK SOON!

Capos “Boss of the Cheesteaks”… no lie! Serving up some serious steak sandwiches, follow the local regulars as they stream in and out. Made to order sandwiches, fries and hot dogs, you will be well pleased with what is served here. Owner is Cleveland born and Philly/Chicago trained on the grill. Voted Best Small Business Restaurant in the area! Get some! Take out only, but plenty of seating outside.
