"The staff here are absolutely lovely polite kind and attentive. Made us feel absolutely welcome and even done little extras to help out as they seen us with kids. The Lady who I assume was in charge (only slightly older than the rest) was especially kind. And to top the food wad amazing empty plates!!!! Thank you all"

"Our favourite restaurant- lovely choice of food- Hubby had Prima Margherita,Daughter the same+ I had Apollo pizza with Garlic Chicken, Peppers,Prosciutto- it was divine! Had Santa's Sunset cocktail which was lovely. The mini pudding selection was gorgeous too.Staff very attentive + good service. We had a lovely Anniversary meal - we will be back soon!"

"Nice restaurant, same as every ask but nice. Bit expensive for what it is but it what you expect"

"Where do I begin... For starters, we ordered the Calamari and Bruschetta. I came in with high hopes just to later be disappointed. The Calamari was frankly tasteless. The only saving grace was the sauce with which it came. It was drowned in oil which caused it to become limp and soggy - not the crunch that I expected. The Bruschetta was similarly bland and soggy. It came on what I believed was a slice of white bread (which did not feel authentic), and the tomatoes were mushy and dull. It was far from traditional. As for the mains, they were equally unsatisfactory. I ordered a Margherita pizza with extra prawns only to later discover that what I thought would be extra was a measly two prawns cut into quarters, mind you this was for an extra two pounds! The pizza base itself was not bad, although a bit doughy, the cheese had a nice bite and the flavour was there. However, the tomato sauce was honestly saddening. In my previous trips to Ask Italians, they have been nothing short of amazing, but perhaps today was not the day. The Spaghetti al Pomodoro had next to no flavour - no salt, no tomato, no nothing. The "Fresh Mozzarella" was the only redeeming quality. Overall, my experience here was subpar. I never thought I would have to say this about Ask Italian but this was a disheartening experience."

"Always a good food experience at ASK, cannot fault the quality or service even though they looked a few short on staffing, but the manager was brilliant in making sure we had good food and a laugh to boot. Well done !"
