Ask Italian in Chichester

Fantastic service and friendly staff. Justin was great.

Great service from Justin, always checked everything was okay and overall lovely, food too a bit to come but was very busy so I understood

Lovely family meal out. Pleasant and helpful staff. Had a mixup with a dish, but it was corrected quickly.

I had an amazing dish, and it was absolutely amazing

Justin was brilliant all night, food was also very good

Rubbish customer service, we came with our 2 year old and the man who sat us down didn't even offer a high chair and colouring stuff for the kid. We had to find the high chair ourselves. We didn't order a kids meal as we shared our food with our toddler so we asked for a separate plate for her but they didn't have the common sense to give toddler cutlery and cup. I ordered a risotto which was half cooked. Nobody came to ask how our food was. The rest of the food we ordered was bland and below average. We won't be returning to this Ask branch again.

Large group visited Feb 2025. Our servers, Justin and Laila, were incredibly friendly and accommodating, even when there were so many of us! The food was just as great. Would recommend and will be going again ourselves!

Belated Valentines date for my wife and I after working so much. Superb service and food from Justin and his colleagues. Justin was polite and informative when it came to ordering desserts as there have been a couple of additions since we last came. His service was superb. We never have a bad experience at ASK Chichester and is our go to restaurant. Thank you.

Lovely location but the service was not very good. No spoons to eat pasta with, when asked the waiter just shrugged and said they didn’t have any. Ordered a dessert, which unfortunately the waitress dropped part of it in front of us, then said they didn’t have any more. On checking our bill we had been charged for the dropped dessert. Overall food was OK, but so we were surprised with the lack of service. Would not go here again.

Justin was a great waiter, really accommodating and nothing was too big an ask. Food was delicious and fast to arrive.

Great service, Justin was great and food was perfect!

Love this place! Customer service is great! 😊🙏🏽

Sevred by Charlie Exquisite service, food was incredible, atmosphere brilliant, such a wonderful place to have a meal, one of our favourites 😍 Laughs between customers and staff Highly recommend

This is the second time I have ordered from Ask Italian via Deliveroo, and the second time they have delivered a meat-filled calzone rather than the vegetarian goat's cheese calzone I ordered. Both times, I have tried to call the restaurant and haven't been able to get through, despite calling multiple times and leaving a voicemail, which they haven't bothered to reply to either. Disgustingly low standards - will be reporting. I can appreciate that mistakes happen, but twice points to consistently poor kitchen management. I am a lifelong vegetarian; had I eaten it by accident, I would be very ill today. I'd advise anybody with a dietary requirement to stay well clear of this place.

charlie is great, very welcoming and friendly, he deserves a raise, food was good too

Food was tasty, atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Our service giver Charlie was attentive and busy, smiled and seemed to be enjoying his job. Would return.

Charlie was very helpful, polite, and made our evening special. Thank you Charlie x

Nice meal thanks to Laila and Justin for being great.

We go to ASK restaurant in Chichester at least twice a month. All the staff are so friendly and helpful especially Charlie & Leila who regularly serve us. The last few months the restaurant has been full and the staff are still very attentive. The food is tasty and portion sizes are just right - thank you chef’s :) The decor and atmosphere is lovely and the reason why we keep coming back. Oh and there are always ‘offers of the month’ that we take advantage. All in all we give them 10 out of 10 - Carol & Mike

Lovely service from Justin very fast and kind

The whole team were lovely and very attentive, especially Charlie. The food was delicious. Thank you Greta for the lovely welcome ;)

Justin was a great server and we had a great evening in Chichester

Had to wait a while for the food to come, but other than that all very good. Charlie looked looked after us well!

Used Tastecard (always worth it). Food was brilliant

Highly recommend the service and food at this restaurant especially by our server Leeson. He was warm and friendly. Due to limited time my daughter and I needed to be in and out within an hour. Leeson made sure our drinks, meals, dessert and the bill were with us quickly without us feeling rushed. Great experience especially after a challenging day.

Lovely time at Ask again. Food lovely and staff lovely.

El pan de ajo era sabroso, la red eléctrica tibia en calor, los postres eran buenos. Latte se estaba calentando. La camarera tuvo que ser solicitada por su colega.

Absolutely lovely experience, great food , great service nothing too much trouble and such a lovely relaxed place The manager is great and so attentive Our go to for lunch or early dinner when finished shopping

Great place the Calzones are really good.

Really lovely food, and not over priced at all. And the in house lemonade is so flavourful 😆

Great food, great service quick and the food was tasty as usual the staff were extremely friendly and attentive said their names were justin and leesun. will definitely be returning extremely positive experience.

Excellent evening, great food and brillant service from Leesun. Thank you

I had the new-slow cooked beef pappatdelle which was delicious and the service was great too a really nice lunch

Our servers, Justin and Charlie were exceptional. The food was lovely and the service made our evening even more enjoyable!

Thank you Leesun for your lovely service.

Great place, great service from Laila. Lovely food. Made a birthday special on a wet n windy January Sunday evening

Got home delivery, great food , 1 free drink x

Justin, our server, made our experience so enjoyable. The food was great and atmosphere spectacular!!!

Good meal, nice atmosphere. Justin was a fantastic waiter, made us feel welcome and made sure we had a good meal. Very friendly and chatty

The food is good but service and attitude is poor. Why put out small glasses for complimentary drinks and then not provide the drink? Also the food was served on cold plates. No coat hooks. Feels about as Italian as Watford. I think this place is probably beyond redemption

Podría hacerlo mucho mejor Repartir alimentos en platos fríos es muy deficiente y muestra una completa falta de cuidado Sin percheros en diciembre, ¿en serio? Proporcionar vasos para una bebida de cortesía que no se ofrecen! ¿Qué estás haciendo? Rara vez he estado en un restaurante italiano que se sentía tan poco italiano Se siente como un lugar al que no le importa y si no te importa ¿por qué deberíamos? No te molestes en ir a otro lugar

They were busy but handled it well. Our waiter tonight was Justin, he was lovely 🫶🏼

I was out for a Christmas meal with my friend and it was perfect. Justin the bartender made us delicious cocktails and our waitresses- Evie and Laila, were very friendly.

We came in last night and had some items from the Christmas menu. All four of us loved our food. The service was really friendly, and the restaurant clean ( yes, we know its not long since the refit). We shall return as its not our normal go to Italian place in Chichester.

Just had an amazing time. Food and service was perfect. Thanks Justin, you were great. My friends were thrilled.

Perfect evening and a super helpful waiter. Leesun, was brilliant. Very efficient and friendly. Good job 👍🏽

Awesome food and service, especially the amazing festive cocktails made by Justin!!

CHARLIE was unbelievable. I think he deserves a pay rise 👀

From entering this restaurant, no one came to welcome us to a seat bearing in mind the place wasn’t busy at all. My mum went up to the bar and asked if we may be seated at a table to which a lady showed us over. Considering the restaurant wasn’t busy, the service was shocking slow and our food requests and drink requests weren’t acknowledged. Two of my family members asked for additional toppings on their pizzas, to which these weren’t added. We asked for table water, to which this wasn’t given until we asked again. There wasn’t any attention to detail for example ‘would you like any salt or pepper or sauces or parmesan cheese etc’. There seemed a lack of any real direction it felt like some staff were all on a training day or they’d rather be at home. There wasn’t anyone taking a clear direction or lead on the 5 or so tables that were occupied. When the bill came over, we were charged for additional toppings that we didn’t receive. We told our original waitress about this and she went off, got distracted and started serving other tables? We then told another waitress, anyone would think she was volunteering and not being paid, there wasn’t any personable skills towards us? Eventually, they took these extra charges off the bill and we paid and left. Overall, the food was good and tasted fresh. The bar man seemed like the only efficient member of staff and the new strawberry drink tasted lovely. I wouldn’t come to this restaurant again due to the service recieved.

Food was exceptional and service was very good too. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great meal and great service, we were served by Charlie who did a sterling job.

Consistently great food. Well worth the money, particularly if you have a tastecard. Gorgeous decoration inside

Quick service,Great pasta, excellent coffee

Went for dinner with a work colleague the other week and had the best experience! The food was fantastic and the best part was the most attentive, friendly Assistant Manager (Lee Sun) waiting on our table. He made the experience so enjoyable and was really helpful assisting us with what to select on the menu. Will definately go again! Thank you.

Me and my sister came in to ASK greeted by Justin, felt very welcomed and at home! He was a sweetheart at the door would definitely want to be served by him again!

My bar tender Justin was so nice and helpful seating us down. Such a polite young man. Our Fizz the Season drinks were also amazing, would definitely recommend!!!

This is a beautiful restaurant with friendly staff. I think the food could improve. I love lasagna and mine lacked flavour and sauce..... admittedly I didn't go for the pimped up version with extra sauce.

Had a lovely visit last night. Food was great, service was excellent. Our waitress was fabulous, didn't catch her name but she was doing a great job.

A nice restaurant with tasty food. The main course could've been a little warmer.

Great food and helpfull service particularly from our server Justin.

I had a great experience at ASK. Justin was so welcoming at the front door and quick at making drink. Would definitely go again.

Fantastic meal out. Waiter was great (Leesun).

Great service from Leesum in Chichester for a family birthday meal out. Would definitely visit again.

I had a lovely meal out with my family for my birthday and Leesun was our waiter and he was brilliant! Amazing evening!

Justin and laila were very helpful and had amazing customer service

Brilliant evening out to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Fantastic service from Leesun. Thank you. Delicious food (Lasagne and Tiramisu) and red wine! Will definitely recommend to friends.

Good service, good came out in more than a reasonable amount of time, food tasted amazing.

Mostly fine. The staff are nice. But please dim your lights in the evening- it was like eating in a hospital cafeteria!

Our waiter was Leesun. The most attentive and professional waiter. It's very rare you go into a restaurant to have a sit down meal and have the great service of someone who actually feels they want you to have a great experience. He also made the best Martini!

Really friendly staff, genuinely interested in good customer service. Thanks Leesun for the great drinks advice, loved my Raspberry Sour. And thanks Laila for being so friendly.

Lovely service and delicious food Thank you leesun and Laila for great service:)

Me and my Parents had a lovely dinner out for my mums birthday today. We left stuffed and content. The service was amazing and we managed to have a good laugh. The new strawberry drink was phenomenal from what I’ve heard from my mum and she ordered two. Would definitely recommend as a nice dinner out!

Really nice atmosphere, Leesun and Layla were lovely and very helpful.

Service was great Layla and Leesun are legends fabulous experience!

Brilliant service, Leesun and Leila were great! love the atmosphere in here, good food.

YUM YUM YUM. funny people and yummy mozzarella

Lovely food and atmosphere, Charlie was very friendly and accommodating

Lovely cheerful happy staff, the food and presentation was very good. Charlie was very friendly.

Great gluten free options and friendly service with helpful staff including Charlie who served us.

Family meal for 6 of us was superb! What lovely well trained staff. Food options were great for all of us and delicious without exception. Thank you.

Ask Italian is a very relaxed place to go. With our two grandchildren who loved the food had colouring pens and paper whilst waiting. The service is good and the staff are very polite and lovely. I recommend this place to anyone who likes Italian food. Atmosphere is relaxed and friendly 😌

Our waiter Charlie was fantastic, really friendly and helpful with the different options. Would highly recommend!

Sentado esperando para pedir bebidas para edades y tenía que llamar a la camarera. Empieza todo bien. Pedido 3 pizzas diferentes. 2 pizzas se sentaron a un lado durante 10 minutos. Cuando nos trajeron, nos dijeron que la 3a pizza había sido inventada incorrectamente y tuvo que esperar. Las 2 pizzas que se trajeron estaban frías y tuvieron que ser devueltas y permanecer. La 3a pizza salió correcta (finalmente) pero tuvo que ser devuelta ya que las otras 2 pizzas todavía iban a ser hechas! En general, no es una buena experiencia

Had a brilliant meal at ASK. Loved the new decor and menu. Spiced rum cocktail was delicious. Very friendly, polite service from Charlie.

ASK Italian in Chichester a delightful experience that captured the essence of Italian dining. Located in the beautiful cathedral city of Chichester, the restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere with a modern twist on traditional Italian cuisine. If you’re looking for a casual, yet flavourful Italian meal in Chichester, ASK Italian is a fantastic option. The food, service, and ambiance come together to offer a dining experience that is both enjoyable and authentic.

This place is always busy so thought I’d check it out. Well, the masses of Chichester you’ve been getting it wrong. It’s fine but definitely not amazing. I had a pizza and pasta which were alright. My Mrs had the Vegan chicken which was basically inedible. Not in a rush to go back.

Great Food. We will be coming back

Lovely food! The place looks amazing. Will be back ☺️

El personal era muy desdeñoso y grosero, nos seguían dando miradas sucias y la comida era bastante insípida. Hubiera sido una mejor experiencia si el personal era más amable.

Lunch deal on - it was lush! Great service ✨

Beautiful food, accommodating for gluten free and dairy free food for myself, wonderful staff, very friendly, booked for a wedding meal and set up with help from staff.

All wondeful. Would be 100% if food was piping hot. Thanks to the lovely staff xx

Was passing through Chichester on business and dined solo. Fantastic meal and service. Laila and Szandi were clearly understaffed yet still delivered such friendly professional service and I never felt rushed. My pizza was great - crusty base and very tasty topping - and my beer was ice cold. Will definitely return when I am back in Chichester and will bring my colleagues next time. Ace place to go for a quick tasty bite.

Had the best time celebrating my uncles birthday! The atmosphere was just right and my burrata carbonara was absolutely delicious. It was the service that really made the meal though, with Laila and Szandi going above and beyond from the moment we arrived to the moment we left - they really did make the birthday boy feel so special. Thank you so much for such a lovely evening. We will be back for sure. Highly recommend.

Laila and sandy were very friendly and helpful. lovely meal thank you

The waitress was lovely but the food wasn't that good

Went for a family meal x6 not a very busy evening . ,After drinks & starters only got informed, after about 20 minutes waiting for mains , that that had ran out of a toping for a pizza on the menu, very surprised with such limited pizza menu intern left myself with no other choice, to not have a main. Enjoy our £130, we will not back.

Whilst in Chichester we went to Ask in East Street for lunch. The restaurant is quite large. It was very clean, and we saw staff, after customers had left, cleaning the tables and chairs after use. It was quite noisy, but this was probably because of a hard finish to the room, so noise couldn’t be absorbed. There was a large selection of food on the menu, as well as a Summer set menu. There was also a selection of drinks, including cocktails The food was well presented. The staff were good, friendly, helpful and efficient. Seating is also available for children.

Great meal, venue and staff. Highly recommend and will return too.

Rosie was a fantastic waitress, thank you for a lovely meal!
