Number Twelve

My boyfriend and I had dinner at Number Twelve on a Friday evening. It is a nice place, though there's an unavoidable hotel vibe. The menu had a good range, and the food was seasonal and perfectly cooked. It lives up to its 'modern Italian' billing - I had a lovely chicken and wild mushroom soup to start and wild boar sausages and polenta for main. The wine list is varied and interesting and the service efficient and unobtrusive. The restaurant manager Georgio is really great at his job, and he took pains to make sure our evening went as well as possible The only down side is the fact that it is a hotel, and feels like one, but the decor and furnishing does its best to minimise that

My friend recommended Number Twelve as a great restaurant. Finally I have decided to go there and I have to say I was impressed. Very nice modern décor, delicious and very well presented food, fantastic service plus nice atmosphere. But it is not all: I was literally speechless over wine list. Surely everyone will find something to drink. We had Sauvignon Cru for starter (no doubts best white wine I have ever had) and Sangiovese from Valturio.

Staff is very polite and professional.

On top of that prices are reasonable.

Definitely I will dine in Number Twelve more often.

I see my last review of this restaurant is almost 18 months old. As I live locally, I've probably been 4 times since then, the latest being last night. I don't usually do multiple reviews but, in view of some of the negative comments, I feel that, for balance, I should add that I have never been less than fully satisfied here. I usually dine "a la carte" but last night I had the "special menu" of 3 courses with prosecco, olives and bread for £22. Enough choice and the food was tasty and well-cooked, excellent value at that price. As usual we discussed wines with the manager - I like his enthusiasm - and were very happy with his recommendation of a Calabrian red, not unreasonably priced at £36 given its quality. Personally I have always found the service polite and efficient and last night was no exception. Last night it was pretty busy so the "atmosphere" was more lively than it sometimes is. One plus of this restaurant is that the tables are well-spaced, so no danger of putting your elbow in the plate of a diner at the next table or inadvertently joining in their conversation ! I shall happily return.

If Mr Cerilli is the manager, the service cannot be less than fantastic!

There is no one around who knows and loves and is passionate about his job more than him, and it shows. Extremely good value too.

Keep up the good job and see you soon.

The Valentine massacre: it is unfair to rate a restaurant on a night like this but service and details were not up to scatch in comparison with the lovely and well presented food.....sicilian wine a good offer but not well matched with menu.
