Ristorante Numero Unico is a small, cozy restaurant with just a handful tables in the front part (but more in the back part). We were welcomed enthusiastic, but the service degraded during the meal.
Their pasta was outstanding, especially the open ravioli with burrata and...homemade tomatosauce.
My secondo was disappointing. Pig is normally the must safe-proof, but my suckling pig was tough and I had a hard time chewing half of it. Couldn’t eat the last half. The dish was much more decorated (including flowers) than normally in Italy. Nothing wrong with that, just unusual – and maybe wrong prioritizing.
My partners beef cheeks were fine. And so was the semifreddo.
The Chianti Classico, Riserva le Baroncole 2015 was a powerful and excellent wine.
Speed of serving was fine in the beginning, but it was strange, that 1) we were not offered any drink on arrival 2) any extra wine when we had finished our bottle of red wine and 3) it took a very long time before we were offered coffee and dessert. In fact, I had to tilt the empty wine bottle to get attention.
Also when I was asked how the food was, and I replied ‘hard to eat’, there was no reaction.
Price was general speaking ok for Siena.More
