Absolutely shambolic service, the only saving grace was the food. After arriving at around 5pm to a fairly quiet restaurant (over a dozen empty tables) it took 25 mins to finally be spoken to by a member of staff, had there been a big queue this wouldn't have been as much of an issue but there was 1 group and 1 person looking to make a reservation ahead of us. It took so long that 2 groups behind us actually left. The server did eventually go and clear a table for us however another server gave it to a reservation who turned up early. Eventually we were able to place our order for food and drinks, which were lovely and came promptly unlike the removal of the empty plates which took 20 mins. We asked to see a dessert menu but were forgotten about. After going to look for a member of staff myself I tracked down the menu and then had approach a passing member of staff to place the order. The dessert sat on the pass with kitchen calling service for a good few minutes before we were finally served and were Luke warm. Had we not had ongoing travel plans and were killing time, I would have made more of an issue as 2.5 hours from start to finish is a bit of a joke.

Great place for a nice and relaxing diner. The food was delicious, good portions sizes and reasonably priced. The service here was excellent. Magda, our server, was attentive without being intrusive. The entire staff worked seamlessly together to create a great dining experience. We never had to ask anything twice!”

Did some work here and ended up with a free meal. Eaten lots of Italian dishes before so expectations were high and they sure did not let me down, the pasta Al pomadoro was absolutely sublime, lovely rich sauce, dry fresh ingredients, piping hot and 2 massive balls of mozzarella. I also had a huge slice of garlic bread which smelt and tastedamazing, I watched the lass make it from scratch so it’s as fresh as fresh gets, and just as I like soaking wet through with strong garlic butter and lots of herbs. I didn’t pay for this dish but I sure am coming back here again (will have to pay this time though) Even though it was free and a takeaway the presentation was impressive and no half measures on the portion size or the taste. Shout out to all those that work there, it’s one clean and tidy place and they all work super hard, keep it up, be back soon.

Arrived at 4.15pm as we had a 6pm concert to attend across the road at the concert hall. We were a party of 5, we waited 10 minutes and had to ask to have a drinks order taken. Then after waiting almost 15 more minutes again we had to ask if someone would take our food order. So slow service, vastly understaffed on a weekend just before Christmas. Starters arrived and were cleared, delicious. At 5.15 we mentioned to the server that time was getting short, to his credit he checked and we were told 5 mins. 20 minutes later we mentioned it again, food came at 5.45pm, we cancelled dessert and asked for the bill. We bolted down what we could. To the credit of the restaurant we were given a generous discount for our poor service, although we didn't complain about the staff, they were lovely but struggling. We missed the start of the concert. Food and staff lovely, but so very slow, get more waiting staff and cooks.

Dreadful experience. Queuing for a while with numerous other customers despite booking. Table not ready and once sitting waited a long time to order drinks etc . Manager very rude. One cocktail had to be returned as there was no alcohol in it and all starters returned as overcooked and uneatable. Waitress did her best to apologise and main courses were eatable but nothing special. Waitress did tell manager and she advised the manager would come and speak to us - this never happened. 25%deduction was given off the bill though.

Incredibly poor experience sadly. Huge 'Ask' fans and the restaurant where we used to live was our 'go to'! . We drove into Glasgow specifically to go and couldn't have been more disappointed. Service was slow with it taking ages to even get seated despite a very quiet restaurant. Should have taken this as a sign! Some items on the menu we wanted not available. Starter didn't arrive at all, some food was not served hot and was returned, and even the basic chips were simply undercooked. Some members of our table went hungry. After complaining, and presumably in recognition of the awful experience, the bill was waived. Unfortunately it isn't really though because we had vouchers for the restaurant which expired today and currently wasting even more of our time thinking about who else could use these at short notice (in a different restaurant of course) so they don't go to waste. We would certainly not return here and as a final aside I would recommend some attention to the toilets ( no toilet paper and one completely blocked loo). On a positive note, our server was apologetic however this didn't mean our evening was spoiled any less. You have to do better than this!

I rarely write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my awful experience at this restaurant. While the staff were nice, that’s where the positives end. We waited an eternity for our main food – it took so long that we eventually had to leave! When we inquired about the delay, their excuse was that their cooker wasn’t working properly. Seriously? If your cooker is broken, maybe it’s time to shut down the restaurant! It’s ridiculous to expect customers to wait over 30 minutes for their food, especially when the place is supposed to be operational. The service is terrible, and the prices are way too high for such a poor experience. Don’t waste your time or money at this place. There are plenty of better options out there!

came in for a graduation dinner, the place was dead. It took nearly half an hour for starters to come out and when they did they had forgotten someone’s order. We then sat without any drinks for nearly 40 minutes. When the mains finally came out they had again forgotten someone’s food and the dishes were cold as they had been sat so long. Most of the pastas were awful, Watery and had no flavor. we didn't bother sending it back as we had already waited almost an hour for these in an almost empty restaurant. We were then served baileys which was curdled in the glass. After all of this they then added on a £35 service fee on top of a £300 bill when most of the food couldn’t be eaten and the service was terrible.

We ate in this restaurant before a show, we went into the restaurant and ordered through the app. Drinks came quickly, the garlic bread and mushrooms starters took ages to arrive. As we were running out of time we asked the server could we have the main course straight away. She said certainly, and said she had contacted the kitchen. We waited until there was 7 minutes before we had to leave. It came, we gulped down what we could, we were starving, and left most behind. The server said she would reimburse half of our meal as we didn't have time to wait for her to give us money back. I would have been impressed if she had, but if course this hasn't happened. We wouldn't recommend this place, service is shocking, good mediocre.

I placed the order just before 4pm. the delivery time was changed 3 times. I called the restaurant and they said the food was ready but a driver still wasn't allocated by just eat. food was delivered round about 1840 which is over 2 and a half hours wait. I ended up having to give the kids another dinner. the app wouldn't let me cancel the order ssince the food was already prepared. I get that sometimes it can be delayed but it was the long wait and the fact that I couldn't cancel it.

Great place for good Italian food. We had the fettuccini bolognese, lasagna and spaghetti al pomodoro. Very tasty and massive portions. We also had the thick cut chips, a few were hard in the middle but apart from those couple they were very nice. For dessert we had the sicillian lemon tart and the mini momenti which lets you choose 3 mini portions. We had the berry sorbet, mini chocolate brownie and Italian biscuits. An excellent meal, very good service and we had a very enjoyable lunch.

I haven't recommended this place. _________________________________________ • Really long waiting time, • Unpleasant service. Today we ordered several dishes including Carbonara , but we wanted it to be served without meat - they did it, but also completely unseasoned, tasteless.. just pasta served with sauce, zero aesthetics and taste. Lasagna was burnt. I strongly advise against it. On the map of the city of Glasgow you can find more interesting places with tasty cuisine, appropriate service at the same price.

Not a great experience. Food took nearly forty minutes to make an appearance and wasn't very good when it did -- the pasta stuck together and the meat was in clumps. Offered free drinks but were on a time limit so the staff clearly knew they'd botched the service. There's better and cheaper pasta around the corner.

Ordered from Uber Eats with expected delivery after 15-20 minutes. The restaurant only gave it to the driver after 1 hour. Pepperoni pizza was cold and tasteless, courgette fries were burnt and cold. The chocolate fondant described as ‘melt in the middle’ hasn’t even been heated up and was stone cold. I also requested cutlery as I am staying in a hotel, cutting pizza slices with your bare hands isn’t enjoyable. I have eaten at many Ask Italian restaurants in Manchester and Birmingham and it has been delicious so it must just be this restaurant specifically with poor service.

Came here to get a pizza before having to travel. Was sat quickly and ordered instantly. Not very busy at the time we got there (possibly 5 or 6 tables with max 4 people on a couple. Ordered 2 pizzas and 2 drinks. 40 minutes after ordering we saw the first dishes being brought out. This was a concern for us so I asked the staff member if we could get those pizzas to go as we had a bus to catch. Waited another 20 minutes and still no food or sign of it. For desserts to be brought out to a table behind us (and hour for their desserts) This caused a bit more concern so I got up and told the lady we have to leave so can I pay for the drinks so we can leave and cancel the pizzas. She gave us the drinks for free and apologised for the wait……this shouldn’t have been something I got when I had waited over an hour for food, with no communication of a delay etc. pizza hadn’t even been started for us. Let me go back to the fact there wasn’t more than 15 people in the restaurant and a max set of 5-6 groups. Would have been our first time dining here, definitely our last attempt.

This has been my favourite go-to place in the centre of Glasgow. My visit on Sunday September 1st will be my last. There was a big show on at the Royal Concert Hall but the service in the restaurant, which is across the street from the Hall, was VERY POOR! I waited 45 minutes after placing my starter order and apart from a glass of wine and the ubiquitous limonade, nothing happened. I asked a waitress twice if my order was coming, and was told she had passed on my request to the manager. The manager didn't seem to have much idea about anything. I saw her turn away 2 food delivery guys without giving them their orders. The tables furthest from the cooking area were neglected. Other customers were waiting as long as I did, but eventually I said clearly to the waitress I would wait five more minutes then I was leaving. And I did.

Ask Italian is a decent spot for Italian food. The pizza was good, and the lasagna was even better. However, the risotto was average, and the salad fell short. Portions were small, but the service was decent. Overall, a good place for pizza and lasagna, though some dishes could improve.

I like to dine at Ask Italian Port Dundas Place whenever I go to the cinema in Glasgow. The vibe is relaxed, the service is good, and the food is reasonably priced (for Glasgow). It is possible to eat outside on rare days when its not raining in Scotland. My ideal meal is Mixed Doughballs, Fettucine Bolagnese and Sicillian Lemon Tart. I love Hard Lemonade or Mojito Mocktail if I am driving home. A Double Espresso to finish obvously. Bellissimo!

A disappointing experience....... On a cold and wet August night the dining room was cold with some diners wearing their coats in an attempt to stay warm. The service was painfully slow throughout the evening. They were clearly understaffed and stuggled to deal with, at most, the room being only 50% full. The food was, at best, average. The Verdure chicken dish was cold, the beef pasta bland and the gnocchi needing chilli oil to bring some life into it. The deserts took an age to arrive and were basic and somewhat small considering the prices being charged. The staff were friendly and polite. I can̈not see why we would return.

The whole experience was disappointing. We waited a while to order and then our starters came before our drinks. They had no olives and one starter was very well done, borderline burnt (mushroom alfonso) we asked for more cheese to ‘fix it’ and it came back very well baked. They were unable to supply a main we had ordered but didn’t come back to take a reorder and we had to try and get the waitress attention again. We waited a hour for our main meals. The pizza was horrible. We had to ask for black pepper and Parmesan (in an Italian restaurant!!!) The toilets had no toilet paper or running water. They also added an ‘optional tip’ and didn’t say anything. Due to our experience we asked to have it removed, they may have been short staffed on the floor but this was not our issue and the food was sub standard. No of us will be back at an ASK

They add a 10% tip to your bill without asking which is quite sneaky. The server was nice but no one deserved a 10% tip considering they forgot about us multiple times and messed up the order.

Vegetarian friendly? I don’t think so!!!!!! My supposed vegetarian starter tasted distinctly of fish- my friend who isn’t vegetarian tasted it and agreed- it had clearly been cooked in a fryer that had cooked meat and fish. Utterly disgusted! I don’t like to complain- but that is a serious issue. Also as a side note, it’s pretty off putting to be served by someone whose nails are like pained talons - I’m all for individuality- but when your nails are touching my food - they have to go. Don’t recommend and won’t be back.

Italian fast food pasta for fine dining prices. We paid £53 for 2 portions of pasta, 1 dessert and 2 drinks. This is far too expensive for what is offered - mediocre food and drinks, with ok service, in a mediocre setting. There are so many much better places in the city centre, serving better food for better prices, so I really struggle to see why I'd recommend this place.

The other people at the table felt similarly that the food was good but a bit simple. Overall it was fine for a dinner out but probably won't be my first choice.

Food was ordered and scheduled to collect @2150. I got to the restaurant and they hadn't started cooking it yet. Lynsey was extremely rude and started pulling faces at her colleague little did she know I seen her do it, all because I said this food should've been ready for when I needed it to be as I'm on a tight schedule with a show. Appalling behaviour from a FOH Member of staff. 0 customer service. Although I must give credit to the lovely blonde lass who was so kind and helpful with me getting my food and she was very smiley. I hope the manager responds accordingly.

**A Disappointing Experience Despite Good Food** I recently dined at Ask Italian with a group of friends, and unfortunately, our experience was far from pleasant. Although the food was generally good, with the notable exception of the calamari, the service was abysmal and left us feeling extremely dissatisfied. Upon arrival, we requested a table for seven, but were told the restaurant was fully booked. However, the patio had only two people seated, so we asked if we could sit there. They eventually agreed, but the troubles were just beginning. We sat on the patio for 20 minutes without anyone coming to take our drink orders. We had to go inside to ask for service. This set the tone for the rest of the evening. Throughout our meal, the staff frequently got our orders mixed up or completely forgot them, requiring us to repeatedly remind them. When the food finally arrived, the waitress placed my bowl of risotto on top of my friend’s spaghetti, covering my bowl in tomato sauce. When I pointed out that the bowl was dirty, she dismissively said, "It's just sauce," and put the bowl in front of me. I had to ask for something to wipe it off myself. To top off the evening, getting the bill was an ordeal. I had informed the male waiter beforehand that I wanted to treat my friends to drinks and appetizers and asked if the bill could be separated accordingly. He assured me it would be no problem. However, when I went inside to ask for the bill, the female staff member I spoke to was extremely uncooperative. She rudely told me they couldn’t separate the bill and said, "I'll print the bill and you can separate it yourself." I mentioned that her colleague had agreed to separate it, but she was unhelpful and rude. After a trip to the bathroom, I returned to find she had left the full bill on the table, disregarding my request entirely. This waitress’s attitude was not only unprofessional but downright rude, adding unnecessary frustration to what should have been an enjoyable evening. Despite the good food, the overall experience was severely marred by the terrible service. I hope the management addresses these issues, as good food alone isn't enough to compensate for such poor service. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this restaurant to others.

Yesterday was our 5th trip to ASK Italian in Glasgow and it won't be our last. Every time we've been I've been extremely impressed. The food is delicious, staff are kind and helpful and it's a really nice place to go for a meal. Highly recommended!

I don't like leaving bad reviews, but this was pretty poor. A lot went wrong but put simply, the drinks sat at the bar for ages before brought over, and so weren't cold anymore. Mains clearly the same problem as the food is not warm when it arrives. It's not much to ask that your food be hot and drinks be cold when you're in a restaurant. A few at our table had to wait long after we had all finished before their food arrived because someone messed up the order. What's on the menu isn't really what's on your plate, something is missing or different or changed. Don't know if it is understaffed or if it is a problem with communication, or just the fact it is a chain and nobody really seemed to care that we were having a very poor experience. A waste of money and time, even if the bill did get a few things knocked off it. We weren't the only table this was affecting either unfortunately.

Friendly staff. However the chefs timings were way off. Two mains arrived with starters. Calzone pizza was almost inedible it was so hard and overcooked. I'm sure it had been kept warm and dried out. Shame as the starters were lovely.

We celebrated my stepdaughter's 21st here today and it was lovely. There were ten of us and we had an array of different starters, mains, deserts, cocktails and drinks and it was fab. The workers are great and so obliging and friendly. We will be back - many thanks x

Whilst quite cheap, convenient and convivial, our experience at ask left a lot to be desired. The waiting staff were excellent, which they needed to be as so much about the meal needed questioning. Firstly the tap water, which had a really strange taste and had to be returned. The second bottle of tap water was much better. But it left me feeling that maybe they were doing it deliberately to force us to buy soft drinks. Our main meals arrived. I had seabass and my husband had pasta. They dealt very well with a gluten- free inquiry. My side order of beans and peas was frozen so this also had to be returned. Once it was brought back. It was the right temperature and tasted quite nice. The worst thing about my meal though was the roast potatoes, which had clearly been cooked more than once before, probably cooked from frozen and were quite burnt. They were pretty much inedible. The sea bass was nicely cooked apart from the soggy limp skin. I didn't send these back to lack of time and I really didn't think they would improve the second time around. The cost was quite reasonable but I would have preferred my food to be decent. Well done to the waiting staff. Food needs a coat of looking at.

Placed order before 4pm for 5:15pm delivery, arrived at 6:20pm. Garlic bread was dry & tasteless, crab arancini were tiny & cheesecake was the only thing that was hot, it was melted into mush! I could understand the delay if food was actually done right, awful all round! Would have done zero stars if possible!

Went in for lunch with colleagues on a Monday (just before Christmas). The place was very busy with plenty of locals. The food was superb, a mixture of lasagnes, Bolognese & venison stews around the table and no complaints from anyone. I would say a starter took time to be brought out to one guest, even though it was a simple pate (which was also tasty).
