ASK Italian in Bromley

Had a lovely evening for my birthday until it came time to pay my husband put a £15 tip on the payment machine as he didn't have cash the waitress made a comment that the tip would be shared between the stuff but she was the one that served us and should get cash. I've never felt so awkward.

I ordered the truffle and mushroom calzone, and there was absolutely no truffle in it. The waiter (male) was grumpy and failed to take drinks orders. We asked him for water for the table 3 times and he finally gave us some, one of our family members is pregnant and she desperately needed it. He shouldn't work with customers if he can't be polite and kind.

We dine here once a month as a family. Always good service from the staff and Shemsi. Food always very nice and good with allergies. Highly recommend it here, lovely atmosphere.

The service here is pretty amazing!! My partner & I were able to have such a lovely time here! Many many thanks to Annie & Yasmin for really making our experience the best it could be. We definitely will be back! x

Love the atmosphere, I was here for a party and everything was so on high standard, love love LOVE IT.

I had an amazing server Nicole made sure that we were happy and enjoyed our meals, which were excellent. And made us comfortable ensuring we had the best experience! An amazing night, will definitely be back

I had such a great time here, our server Annie was such a delight she was so helpful and proactive, she was also really funny!! Truly a really good night!!

Amazing restaurant and location! Excited to come again, especially when the weather starts to clear up for Spring.

Lovely welcoming place for a catch up with old friends. Impeccable service from our waiter Alper. I had the prawns to start which were amazing. My calzone was tasty and the tiramisu is to die for. All in all a great experience. Will definitely be back soon.

Fantastic pizza! Customer service was nothing below brilliant. Will definitely make coming here a regular thing!

Had a lovely meal with my partner tonight and was served by the lovely waitress Natalie who provided us great service! Lovely evening

Wonderful place and amazing experience. Staff is friendly and actually take the time to make sure your order is right. Thank you. We'll be back!

Lovely food, had a Christmas catch up with friends.

very nice restaurant but had air conditioning on so a bit uncomfortable but other than the very nice

Staff friendly, food great.Will go back again.

Great spot for a pre-Xmas celebration. Plenty of choice for the whole family - and all the plates finished. Great customer service throughout, in an attractive, welcoming location. Will return!

We visited ask Italian Beckenham on Sunday night and had fantastic experience.The food was absolutely delicious ,full of flavour beautifully presented.The service was excellent the staff attentive,friendly ,and made us feel very welcome.It was a great evening,and we will be back soon.Highly recommended this place!

Amazing staff, amazing food, recommended already to my friends

Lovely decorations and the food was tasty, but the presentation was not the best (one of the desserts arrived half dilapidated). ordered fruit for dessert and it was not disclosed that there was only one option of fruit left available before ordering and that there’d be icing sugar underneath (i cannot eat icing sugar). The waitress we had kept leaving while we were in the middle of asking for items to be ordered so ended up having to go to the bar to ask for condiments, I was also told to wait quite bluntly with a literal finger put up at me when I was about to ask for a box to-go and ended up asking another waitress who came by. Only four tables were being used when we were there including ours so really shouldn’t have been so slow and blunt. Felt quite uncomfortable when ordering too as I cannot eat a lot of dairy so asked for vegan pizza but then was quized on why I was having ham as a topping as if I didn’t know that ham wasn’t vegan… Just wasn’t the most enjoyable experience which is sad as the food itself was lovely.

loved the food here, great service and definitely a good place to bring friends and family

Lovely meet up with my aunt, tasty pizzas, cocktails and tiramisu. Brilliant service would go back again

Shemsi was amazing! Great Customer service very kind and sweet

Yum yum - thank you Yasmin our lovely professional waitress xx

Yasmin is a great waitress!! she met all our needs and we were in a big group

Lovely evening out for a meal with my friends!

Shemsi took amazing care of us tonight, just like everytime we come. He was extremely friendly and helpful since the moment we arrived. My family and I love coming here because the food and staff are always exceptional!

Shemsi was an outstanding waiter during our visit to ASK Italian. He was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect. His warm personality and excellent service made our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend asking for Shemsi if you dine here!

Great service! We were served by Shemsi, he was very friendly and attentive.

Martha’s service was absolutely impeccable and really went above and beyond to look after us. I highly recommend this place!

Had a lovely meal at Ask with their Christmas menu. Eridjona was a fantastic waitress, would highly recommended!

Wonderful meal & service. Thanks to Marta

Great value Christmas menu , very tasty dishes, great service too from Annie

Took my mrs here for a quick midweek dinner date and We was both pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing and the service even better. Marta looked after us well and kept us laughing whenever she came over to the table. 10/10.

lovely meal and the service from marta was 10/10

Very nice food , Shemsi looked after me and my friend. Would definitely reccomend for lunch or dinner l

Our food was lovely shemsi recommended the Christmas carbonara it was delicious highly recommended going to ask Italian in beckenham

Very good. Went and used Tastecard which offers 2 for the price of 1 for mains at Ask Italian Beckenham during the middle of the week. The Pollo Milanese was really tasty. The service was good and attentive. The ambience was nice. The venue is spacious and modern.

We came to this restaurant today for the 1st time as we wanted arrancini for takeaway, and we left with a nice prawn pizza also. The food was very tasty, and the service was impeccable. We were served by Airina (as per receipt), and she was very friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back, maybe next time dining in as the restaurant is very beautifully decorated and the atmosphere and music is very nice.

Great food and service. Perfect menu and good value. Can be quiet at lunch time but this visit was quite busy.

The service ruined the whole experience, very discriminating! We booked a table for 2 to celebrate my husband’s birthday today. The female manager was very chatty to all the other customers around but not us . I’m not sure why , except the only possible reason is we’re the only Asian customers at that moment ? The gentlemen sitting next table was also celebrating his birthday, however was treated a lot nicer than us in the way how she interacted with. After serving the starter, she checked if everything is okay (I understand this is a very standard process), we were not complaining but honestly said the king prawn is quite salty and not as expected as last time we had it. Her response was “oh that comes with standard recipes I’m afraid” then walked away. It’s so awful !!! If any comments about the food is meaningless, why did you you ask about it ?! At last at check out, we just wondered if there is any birthday offer we might probably missed. She strictly said “ No” . We will not come back to be served by this lady.

Good food, great service, and atmosphere.

Hadn't been in a long time as didn't really enjoy the experience before, but was nicely surprised at how everything was so much better, the quality of food was great, the atmosphere and service was super friendly, they really did look after us. The martini espresso cocktail was worth every calorie!!! 😋 we will def be coming back again! Thanks

Nice food and waiting staff. It was a bit chilly in there, but probably my only complaint. The restaurant and restrooms were both clean, and the decor was fresh and in good order. It was a bit quiet, but it was Sunday afternoon, so maybe just not pizza time for most! I would definitely go again, as the staff were friendly and attentive.

Very tasty food, we thoroughly enjoyed our coffee with a mini dessert and liqueur, great way to end the meal. Service was wonderful and attentive. It's always nice to be able to share a joke with staff members. The restaurant was clean including the toilets. All in all a wonderful evening and will be recommending to friends and family. Thank you!

Had a takeaway . Bare in mind i live half a mile or less away from this place both main dishes were cold. Lasagne was horrible had about a spoonful of meat and was presented in a cardboard box and looked awful. And found out later that night it also gave me an upset stomach so food hygiene must not be a priority Pizza was cold and toppings were barely melted Bread tasted like old stale bread reheated Big fat no from me on a return to this place. Was not impressed

Great service and delicious food would definitely recommend a visit.

Always a nice atmosphere..attentive staff and good food ..spot on

Just wonderful food and the hospitality that goes with it. Very friendly staff, they are very attentive and caring to both elders and children.

Lovely Italian restaurant with amazing decoration and great service! Staff is polite and food… 10/10!!

My favourite place to eat. Friendly staff great food reasonably priced.

Was able to use my tastecard here so food was very reasonable, however, a tad expensive at full price. Drinks were expensive so just ordered water. Needs a better vegetarian menu, as this was limited. Service was as expected. And altogether a nice place to dine. It was raining so didn't sit outside, wish their outdoor seating, however, was at the side rather than looking onto the street. Altogether a pleasant experience which would do again.

Food is average tbh, lack of any excitement in flavours. Overall experience is decent and somewhat friendly, casual with many "check ins" from stuff with I don't appreciate. It is kind of a safe bet for pasta and pizza, although the menu seems to be a bit random more recently. I get the vibe that many ingredients come pre-prepared from outside.. Pizza was made in a sloppy way and all the ingredients were in the centre! Pasta was good. Portions are small for the prices. A big drawback is the coffee, which was poorly made and extremely bitter. Ruined the meal and didn't even want to mention anything as I had to shoot out.

Returned to this restaurant for dinner 5 years after moving away from Beckenham, it was as good as before. Nice to see the same staff still working there. Menu has good selections and reasonably priced.

I’ve ordered pizza with burrata but they’ve replaced cheese with something that looks like a mozzarella. Also basil looks and tastes more like parsley. Ridiculous.

As an everyday place to eat the food and price point are reasonable. Service despite being reasonably busy was good. Food was tasty including the desserts. Will definitely be back. Thank you for hosting our group.

Went back in 2024 service pleasant and prices reasonable

Good food and excellent service. The restaurant is nicely set out too. The manager was very helpful too.

Have started revisiting after a long break. Found quality of food very good compared to another chain nearby which was once our regular weekly visit.

Came in after work for a quick meal.. Buzzing in the restaurant and didn’t wait long for my food.

The food was excellent! We will definitely go again! Recommend!!!

today we had the opportunity to have lunch at Ask Italian it was one of the best food we ate in the region. I would like to thank the chef Paulo Roberto for the delicious food for the friendliness and good service, my family and I will definitely be back again.

I had pasta with prawns and cray .it was OK but it was luke warm and the pasta was a bit hard .but I will go again

We really enjoyed the quality of the food and the portions. There is always something new in the menu to try.

I went here with my son for a quick dinner. My son loved his pasta and the appetiser on the table. I ate prawn linguine and it was full of flavour with slight heat. The additional garnish on top was actually a great addition. We have returned since and will continue to come to this family favourite restaurant.

Best Ask Italian I've ever been to both in decor and food. It was miles better to another Italian chain down the road. Highly recommend and will be back.

Very nice night out on a cold evening. Quality of food and service was outstanding. Pleased that it was not noisy and there was no loud music or loud customers. Food was hot and served quickly.

Every dish is a work of art that tantalizes the taste buds. The ambiance is intimate, providing a perfect setting for a romantic dinner or special celebration.

"Quick turnaround and top-notch quality. Whatever they're doing behind the scenes, it's working. A reliable go-to for Italian.

Five of us came here for a family lunch on Thursday. Make a reservation as it can get busy. Service was very friendly and nice. Music was a little too loud for my taste and unfortunately our family was sat underneath the speaker. They did offer to move us but my 91 year old Mum didn’t care to move! Food was good although it could have been a bit hotter, and coffee was great!

Taste is a subjective matter. But honestly I’ve been to Ask Italian for many years and never was disappointed. The food is tasty and the service top notch! Staff is super friendly and warm at this branch cannot recommend enough.

Great local restaurant-always a warm welcome

Nice restaurant in easy walking distance from pay and display car park thats reasonably priced. Very clean and tidy restaurant beautiful atmosphere very welcoming with complimentary pink lemonade upon arrival. We were greeted by warm, friendly staff who were helpful throughout. We ordered the cheese and standard garlic bread that was cooked to perfection. For mains, I had the cheese truffle calzone, and my family ordered the beautiful pizza. Drinks came in brilliant frosted glasses. We all had excellent desserts. Brilliant well packed menu well worth a visit reasonably priced for 5 of us.

We go to ASK in Beckenham every year for our office Christmas lunch. We went yesterday 20 of us, everything was perfect as always. We were looked after so well and the food was absolutely top notch - could not be faulted and generous portions. Thank you so much everyone, we all had a fab time!

Went to a birthday celebration. It was a brilliant and beautiful experience. ❤️

Most enjoyable experience. Good food in a friendly environment.

Lovely experience here with the family. Food and atmosphere was all fab! Would definitely recommend and will visit soon when in the area.

Nice meal with excellent service!

Food appalling. My brocoli was stone cold. Lasagne crispy little mince. Carbonella appalling. The standard of food was the worst I've experienced in a long time. My pollo milanese was grizzly in bits. This place needs a huge kick up the backside

Food was pretty good but my friend's ravioli was a small portion and my meal arrived quite a while before my friends' meals. I also had to ask for the parmesan cheese, which is unusual in an Italian restaurant.

If there is better ASK, please share with me because this is consistently the best of any ASK locations I have visited. Ambience and feel more like a small independent Italian and they take care with the food.

OMGoodness what an awful experience this afternoon. Service terrible..waited ages to be served at a very quiet time. Prosecco as flat as a pancake and Bruschetta was very strange! No garlic or olive oil - tomatoes on dry toast and tasted heavily of balsamic vinegar .. the worse bruschetta I’ve ever had! I actually had to pay for this experience!! Never again!!

Decent food but staff were overwhelmed by 2 large groups who had come in even though restaurant was half empty.

Excelent food, the staff is very friendly. They give you a little shoot glass of homemade lemonade before your meal. A nice way to start. I will come again.

Such a lovely place to go. The food is perfect, the atmosphere is always nice and the staff are incredibly polite. Never had a bad experience here. One of my favourites.

Good food, but they don't take card payments anymore the app that they have wasn't working so the manager wanted me to go to the high street to get money ..

The food was really good, I had a pasta dish which I really enjoyed. The service was excellent and the waiter was really attentive and friendly. I'll definitely go back there again.

Expensive compare to pizza huts, although is the same and a bit smaller than pizza hut quantity. Staff not too helpful, pizza hut staff very helpful and goes an extra mile to help and make customers happy. I can compare because few days ago I bought from pizza hut and noticed a big difference in service, costs and overall experience. Hence only one star

Our service was lovely thanks to Tony, the food was tasty but not enough of it. The mushroom starter was very tasty The portions were too small. We were meant to attend friends of flavour and came here instead for the Italian food experience. As its 6 week holidays the kids should eat for free as its quite costly. When we came in it was a lovely atmosphere but as more people attended... The noise level from other children was uncontrollably loud and fairly disturbing, I attended with two children myself who were kept occupied.

Terrible customer service tall guy with tattoos who served was not in mood or he brought his italian customer service back to UK. I asked simple question do you do fried pizza / calzone and he replied something not relevant and said its italian restaurant bla bla bla. mate if you dont know do not try to act like superior and belittle other people you know nothing mate. Period. Very rude guy. And most of the stuff feels like doesnt want to work there. We ordered dessert for kids and i said which toppings to put as we can eat vegetarian options. He brought ice cream with mashmallows i said i havent asked you to put mashmallows he said sorry however he just took it out from icecream and added what i asked but stupid guy left few pieces what a unprofessional and he doesn't care. My advice to administration to change your stuff, as unprofessional and rude people are ruining everybodies experience. We are not returning this place ever. Food was good OK.

The food is always very tasty at Ask. The place is nice and clean and the staff are always very helpful and lovely

Lovely food, quick and polite service and a nice restaurant

Lovely staff and very nice decor. Reasonable price for high quality food. Had lunch there very enjoyable

Small portions for the price, came out cold. Waitress seemed to be in a rush and when we needed to get assistance they were all at the bar talking.

This has become our regular pizza and pasta restaurant. The staff are lovely and the food is good

A busy night because of a music gig nearby and I expect it caused extra pressure in the kitchen. Our starters arrived at very different times, but with an apology. My partners pasta was divine, as was the garlic bread and beetroot and goat cheese balls with chilli dip. Sadly my main was on a stone cold plate with cold broccoli and a little pot of cold sauce. The ‘roast’ baby potatoes were simply boiled new potatoes which had been flattened on a pan to blacken and burn them. Worst still they definitely tasted of fish, I expect that the same grill/implements were used for both. However the actual chicken Milinase was tender, crisp on the outside and very tasty. We had an issue with dessert. We followed the instructions and used the QR code to book the 2 desserts. To save time I paid the bill and added the tip. Unfortunately this closed our tables account and the kitchen had no record of the order. The app does not give you any chance to get a receipt and I was unable to easily prove we had paid. Except my Apple pay said that £102 had been deducted from my account. Eventually, while we were getting the issue sorted another waiter arrived with the missing desserts. I think the QR code idea is fabulous but it was a bit glitchy tonight.

Service is always great, food is nice, straight forward and easy.

My children have just come back from here and had a great meal tonight. They ate everything and really appreciated the happy face on the pizza! Excellent friendly service, big team working so well together.

Went for my daughters birthday with my parents we all left with happy and full tummies

Always been a fan of Ask Italian, but this was our first visit to the Beckenham branch. Food was as ever of excellent quality, and the wine selection was well matched to the menu choices. Portion sizes were sensible so three courses could be enjoyed without overdoing things. Staff seemed exceptionally efficient and our main server was very chatty and friendly. Will certainly go back.

Had a light dinner there, on one of the outside tables. The food is nice, relatively standard menu. Amazing house lemonade and mango gelato. The service was good, but got slow when the waiters changed shifts.
