Ask Italian in Bournemouth

vegan options jumbled into the menu - hard to decipher as same colour print as NEW - food okay but not amazing - service was lovely and atmosphere was okay on weekday not too loud but disappointing vegan options

Love the interiors of this restaurant, in particular the split level creating a lovely atmosphere. We particularly enjoyed the pizza and quality of service.

Lily was wonderful and incredibly accommodating! Lovely time 🥰

Great service ! Lovely food and Lily was absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much :)

Amazing food and very friendly and attentive waitress Lily ☺️

Worst pasta ordered ever..it tastes and smells of just boiled pasta, completely dry. Tried calling the restaurant soo many times, no response.

The garlic bread was really good, I had the beef pappardelle whilst my friend had the carbonara. Her portion was nearly double the size of mine, my dish had far too much pepper in it and tasted as though it was out a packet and microwaved. The service wasn’t the best and I had to ask for a water three times before I was given one. I hate to seem like a Karen but I would rather be honest about my experience.

Mehdi was a great server, he went above and beyond to make the meal special for us! Food was great as always and the portions were more than satisfactory!

We dine in quite often when we come here on getaways. The level of service yesterday was brilliant! Mehdi served us right from the start and made us feel like important customers. Food was delivered in a very quick manner and it feels every time we come here, it gets better!

Idk but that server guy Mehdi was very good and nice and good.

Lily was a great server, very good customer service skills

Craig was just great. Patient and respectful. Food was delicious, couldn’t ask for more.

Had a lovely meal, overall a very enjoyable experience, felt very welcomed by Craig’s patient and kind attitude

Lovely evening last night. The member of staff who looked after us was super helpful and the food was lovely. Thank you

Never been to an ASK italian before due to the menu seeming a tad basic but I completely understand why now. They’ve perfected what they’ve done.

Calzone spinach and goat cheese. How dare you deliver food like this? I started eating it but after a few bites I felt a strange taste.

Great service provided by Oskar and Nathan! The atmosphere was incredible friendly

Our waitress Lilly was a babe - saw to us straight away. I have a serve gluten intolerance and my boyfriend is all about that gluten - so finding out that the ask Italian menu was great for both us was a wine. Started with a mojito - delicious. Followed by the Burrata salad - lush! Then the prawn pizza, my eyes were too big for my appetite- but Lilly let me take the remainder of my meal home.

I had a lovely meal, the service was great and the food was delicious. Craig was very kind and helpful.

Great food, very quick service and in nice surroundings. Very attentive and efficient server - Lily was brilliant!

Lily was a fantastic host, attentive and food served with a smile! We have been coming to this Ask for 7 years and it has never disappointed. Food is always hot, atmosphere is lush and staff always so friendly. We asked for a booth and this was not a problem! Out of all the places to eat in BH2, this one is the best. The new pesto and cheese dough balls are delicious too - and free on a Wednesday at the moment!!!

Craig was brill! Such a happy soul. Will be returning! :)

Georgia… WOW. She provided unbelievable service and was the sweetest person ever. It was our house mates 21st birthday and had a drink on the house with a lovely ‘Happy Birthday’ desert on the house. I 100% recommend Georgia as your waiter. See you again x

Did not read a review to go here, it was just one of many places to choose from. Nice greeting on entry, given a choice of table within an area in restaurant. Did not wait to long to place order however it arrived super fast. I had the Burrata & Pancetta Carbonara, which was okay, not as flavoursome as I had predicted. Service was great.

The food was delivered to me at about 9.00pm and it had burst into the delivery man's bag. He tried to give it to me, and it spilled everywhere. He said that he'd go and get it replaced, BUT HE HASN'T RETURNED. I DEMAND A REFUND!

Great food and service from Craig was excellent
