Ask Italian in Oxford

Absolutely wonderful!!!! The food was amazing and our server, Coco was so lovely

Booked here for dinner before seeing a show, to start with a lot of the beers they did not have as they said they were changing menus. We then ordered food, the starters were ok but when the main courses came, 3 came out and there was no explanation to where the other meal was. Called someone other who then went away and said it was just coming. The food they did bring out was cold and I had beef ragu which looked like a starter portion. No offer if we wanted Parmesan cheese. After another 5 mins we then asked where the other dinner which and when it finally arrived again underwhelming. They did take some money off the bill but I’d rather pay full price and have a nice meal which is what you kind of expect when you book to eat out somewhere

What a lovely restaurant staff very friendly and helpful. One of the Staff was very friendly and chatty Coco

Andreea provided me a great service honestly. She was kind and understanding went above and beyond to help me. I would recommend this place for anyone out of town. Ask for Andreea

The food was really good. Environment is also nice and cute. Andreea helped us take the order and made sure everything went right! Thank you Andreea!!!

This restaurant is so good and our waitress Andrea is also so kind

Andreea is friendly and kind! Good service overall!

I love Ask Italian. We had carbonaras and the nduja pasta. Our server, Coco, was so lovely - 2 of us were gluten free and he showed us the allergen list and full GF menu. He was so friendly and funny and really made our night.

It's a great place. The service is extremely nice and polite, and the atmosphere makes you want to come back here. The food is tasty and fresh, and the attention to quality is evident. Definitely worth recommending!

Amelia was very nice, kind and smile. She offered us food that was so so tasty. One more time thank you for that

Andreea was a great server. 10/10!

Andrea was an excellent server, very helpful 10/10. Recommended

Excellent service by Coco. Will definitely be back.

I don't know how they serve the food so fast, but It tasted good. I should be thinking this is microwaved but we enjoyed it.

Andrea was great, very kind and efficient!! had a lovely time, great food, will definitely come back!

Such a great lunch break, thank you so much to our waitress Andrea, she was a ray of sunshine and as lovely as can be! The food was great too!

The staff seemed a bit annoyed. The food was very tasty, but the portions were relatively small and very expensive.

Lovely Valentine’s Day meal, great service and amazing food! Thank you so much

Waited for 39 minutes for my food and when the pasta came it was not well cooked and hard to bite and the taste was really bad feel so disappointed

We visited for a family celebration, our waiter Coco was amazing, nothing was to much trouble for him, it was a lovely evening

We were going to the ballet over the road from the restaurant and needed a quick meal. Even though there were 9 of us in the party, the service was excellent and very swift! Everyone enjoyed their meals. Seafood pasta, spicy calzone, prawn pizza etc great!

Coco 🥥 was our waiter he was incredible, amazing service and a great great guy! would recommend you all coming here, it’s the best🥰🥰🥰🥰

Very busy pizzeria in the heart of Oxford. I thought I would try a chain restaurant, hoping I would be impressed but it was the opposite, left quite deflated. As our experience was very underwhelming. The menu was quite limited for non alcohol drinkers. Our food came out quickly but only to find it was luke warm in temperature and quite tasteless despite adding seasoning and Parmesan. The hot chocolate portion size was small but tasted ok. The pizza cutter was fairly blunt so cutting the pizza was a bit of a chore. The hospitality was non attentive. After we got our food, the staff didn't check on us or ask if we wanted anything else. When we got the attention of the staff, we were told they didn't have change if we were to pay cash which was a bit unfair for cash payers. Sorry but wouldn't return here or recommend this restaurant as there's plenty of better options in Oxford.

I went there today at 2.30 pm today , the restaurant was empty , the service and staff rude and we waited 90 minutes for our food ! The staff were not client oriented and watching you tube videos , we had no service eventually left . Refused to pay for main course we were the only ones in the restaurant. They were more interested in delivery orders for Uber eats . They didn’t make us pay for drinks but very disappointed with their attitude . They should probably be a uber delivery restaurant than a restaurant for tourists in Oxford . They didn’t even check if we were okay . Went across the road and service and ambience amazing fed in 15 minutes.

Food was great & our waiter Coco was very friendly and informative.

Amazing service, food and atmosphere

I got some lunch from here on a late Thursday afternoon. The food was delicious, I got prawn pasta and some cheesy chips. The pasta from fresh and tasty, the fish was too. The chips tasted like triple cooked chips and the garlic mayo was delicious too. Fantastic service from the staff. Lovely and warm interior and atmosphere. Great job guys and girls.

VIP customer service. Andrea was helpful and very friendly. Thanks.

The experience was amazing. My mate knows your restaurant very well. I cannot believe how much influence had Andrea on our date. Please A. Don’t ever quit, if you do let us know where you are!! Thank you team !

This was my first visit to Ask Italian I had the lasagna and Zucchini fretti Both cooked to perfection. Love the idea of the January perk

The restaurant experience was disappointing. I was served a cup with visible lipstick stains, which was extremely unhygienic. When I brought it to the staff’s attention, their attitude was dismissive and unprofessional, with no apology at all. This lack of basic hygiene and poor service is unacceptable.

Andreea was amazing, she couldn’t have done more. Thank you 💜

Coco our waiter was amazing! It was my birthday and he made it very special by bringing us desert with a candle! We had such a great time! We will be back. Thank you!

Khadija - most excellent server - polite, friendly and super efficient 💋

Entró por suerte. Hoy Quizás 8 personas esperaron durante casi 10 minutos para que alguien reconociera que estábamos allí cuando estábamos de pie en el lugar que dijo que esperara aquí para sentarse. El personal nos ignoró por completo, ya que estaban demasiado ocupados charlando entre sí sobre cosas personales El restaurante estaba prácticamente vacío después de 10 minutos de espera viéndolos charlar nos dimos por vencidos al otro lado de la carretera a Bella Italia Y se sentaron inmediatamente y también reconocieron a pesar de Bella Italia estar más ocupado Puedo ver fácilmente por qué

Andreea was absolutely amazing and such an attentive member of staff! Would come again

We had a lovely meal and pur waitress Adreea was absolutely lovely

Andrea was so nice and welcoming and very helpful. Super great service

My food was incredible and as described I would love to see the seasonal items to stay in fifteenth sections and more of the items that are described like more onions in dishes that contain them

Lovely experience. Great service. Very attentive to allergy. Good food, limited veggie and vegan options.

La comida era muy agradable y sabrosa. Personal muy amable y muy servicial. El restaurante es acogedor y limpio, sin duda lo recomiendo

Amazing service like always, food delicious 😋 thank you Matilde for your attention ☺️

I come here alot and never had a bad meal. The food is reasonably priced and the staff is always nice. The location of the restaurant is also very good as it is close to the centre and also the theatre. The tiramisu is my favourite dessert, I definitely recommend trying it!

I went with my partner for a lovely meal. The food arrived fast and was delicious. I want to especially thank Andrea, our waitress for having served us very professionally. She was very nice and checked on us a couple of times to make sure everything was good.

Very nice food and very nice serving from Andreea :) Highly reccomended

Decepcionante. Olor muy fuerte a aguas residuales y lugar carecía de ambiente. Comida agradable pero cara para lo que era. Personal agradable. Pero el servicio lento.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at ASK Italian, and I have to say that Andrea made the experience truly exceptional. From the moment we walked in, her warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for a fantastic evening. Andrea was attentive without being intrusive, always ensuring that we had everything we needed. She provided excellent recommendations from the menu, and it was clear she had a genuine passion for the food and the overall dining experience. Her knowledge of the dishes and wine pairings was impressive and added a special touch to the meal. What stood out most was Andrea’s genuine kindness and care. Whether it was making sure our dietary preferences were accommodated or simply checking in with a smile, she went above and beyond to make us feel valued as guests. The food was absolutely delicious, but it was Andrea’s outstanding service that made this visit truly unforgettable. If you’re dining at ASK Italian, I can’t recommend Andrea enough—she’ll make your experience one to remember!

Fabulous service and great gluten free options!

Great food and service. Coco was a great host.

Food was sublime. Very good service and nice atmosphere.

Andreea was amazing and quick on her feet. She was very polite and kind. Loved our dine in experience here , keep going Andreea 💕

Had a good meal, wait staff was very friendly, especially Gabriel who took great care of our table

Food was amazing and the service was really good

Was served by the lovely Andreaa, amazing food and amazing service!

The prices are too high even by today’s standards. £18 for a pizza is a joke — if you’re charging me that much it needs enough meat topping to not look like a cross-contaminated margarita. The staff were also very slow to take our dessert orders despite the restaurant having emptied out and apparently had no intention of coming to our table to take the bill. Unfortunately was stuck with this as there was little choice available for a large group booking on a Saturday, but would definitely not return

Solo queríamos un postre y una copa de vino para terminar la noche pero a las 9 . 30 pm un sábado por la noche después de haber caminado por Oxford estábamos luchando... hasta que encontramos Ask Italian. Los postres eran preciosos y los cócteles de ensueño. Gracias, has restaurado mi fe en los restaurantes de grupo.

Really hard working to make our evening great. Large group. The arancini was gorgeous

Everytime I have a pizza from this place the service and quality is exceptional not to mention the pizza is so tasty always go back for more!! LF

This is one of my favorite places in Oxford. The staff in Ask Italian are always so helpful and kind. And the food is excellent. I highly recommend it!

Excellent service, great food. Staff were very accommodating considering we were a table of six who arrived on Saturday evening without a booking. Good experience, good atmosphere, tasty food.

The food was delicious, especially the new desserts, The Lemon and the cinnamon swirl! Lovely festive atmosphere and great, friendly service from Coco

We was waiting half an hour to be served and it was next to empty the woman was so rude the food was stail and cold

Dinner for two, very friendly service. Nice food, nice atmosphere, very pleasant. Small portions. Compared to pre-pandemic it's quite noticeable. Shame. Pasta doesn't cost much but Ask in Abingdon is the same so must be a national choice.

Completely different to my last ASK experience... Food was lovely and the service was spot on... Just the right amount of attentiveness without feeling pestered. Doris was a superstar... Well done. Would recommend Had a great late lunch... Thank you Doris x

Coco is a legend, very tasty food

The food is so good, I really like the place

Very good tiramisu and service was excellent!

Lovely dining in experience, thank you Andreea for the quick service

We had a nice dinner at Ask Italian. Andreea was our waitress!

Really good food and service. Recommend.

Great food and great staff. Thanks for the good time.

The waiter andrea was an wonderful person with us thanks again

Everything was spectacular, my server Andrea was really helpful recommending me her favourite dishes and was just really friendly throughout my visit. Would definitely recommend

Amazing restaurant thank you very much to the staff

Went to Ask Italian for food and drinks and was served by Andreea who was very friendly and polite! Will recommend to other people!

Lovely meal and great service from Khadija

We were served by Andreea in Oxford and she was lovely

Andreea was a brilliant waitress, super attentive and helpful. We had a lovely meal! The food was fab

Wonderful experience. Loved the lasagna bites especially. Will come again!!

Awful attitude, when I book a table I don't expect to be shoved in the claustrophobic basement with no atmosphere and even worse service. We were told we couldn't have a table on the main level because they had booked. Um so had we, to be given another excuse. We declined and had a lovely time at Rosa's Thai up the road.

The food was delicious as usual for Ask Italian restaurants 🥰. Will definitely go there again.

Aucun service, une équipe de serveuses qui discutent entre elles sans s’occuper des clients. Plats médiocres pour 63€ à 3 personnes. À éviter absolument

Visited with a friend randomly whilst shopping in Oxford. The food was nice and came out really quick (within about 5 minutes). We did feel though that the server was a bit slow. It took about 15 minutes for them to take our order and then once we were finished took about 15 minutes for the bill. We didn’t pay full price as we had a voucher but not sure it’s worth the big prices. Also the prices on the menu board outside didn’t match the actually prices which is a shame.

Jodiiiiii i loved heer Have a good day♥️♥️ All workers were gorgeous

Just love the food here. Great service and food was promptly served. All staff are well trained and friendly.

food and service is really nice. Thank you Andreea

Great Italian food in the city centre of Oxford. Fast and efficient.

Last minute decision to drop in, and the food and service were amazing! Thank you

Thanks Amelia for great service :))

I ordered a "big beef lasagna" that was small, without beef ragu and cheese, completely dry. What a disappointment.

Very disappointing. Ceasar salad very poor. Pizza was ok. Expensive for what we had. The only plus is the staff are welcoming and helpful.

non c’era nessuno, per ordinare il dolce ci abbiamo messo più di mezz’ora perché non c’era un cameriere!!!!il cibo è normale, niente di speciale, detto da un’italiana doc! non ci ritornerò.

Came tonight with friends for my birthday the food was amazing 10/10 we will return Staff friendly kept coming to check on us and if we needed anything else you don't get this service at some restaurant Lady that served us was very patient

Good and tasty food but, I’m afraid the staff were not friendly and service is very poor unfortunately. I certainly wouldn’t come back.

We went for a birthday dinner with a group of girls and the staff were very kind and even put candles on the birthday cake we brought along. Very friendly waiter and great service. Would go again for sure

Very friendly staff and great food.

Great service and nice environment. Definitely i will go again . Andrea was a such a lovely host , always asking if everything was okay and verry kind .

Best service offered by Andreea, everything was perfect.

Great service, Andreea was such a nice and helpful person she helps with the dedications regarding the food and drinks, I will definitely go again for sure I will recommend this place to my friends

Simple restaurant with decent Italian cuisine. Not a breathtaking interior, not at all super-attentive, but fast service, good spaghetti carbonara and seafood, pleased with the welcome drink. A quick and good lunch in the city center for reasonable money. Thank you
