Ask Italian superseded all our expectations, food was great, drinks were amazing and the service (from Luka) was outstanding! We were in a rush, and the staff did everything possible to accommodate our needs with the time we had. Highly recommend!

Had a really great dinner, food came really quickly and our server Nathan was brilliant he was really lovely and very attentive and made our experience really enjoyable!

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. Had an incredible experience and was looked after incredibly well by Nathan, that man is one hell of waiter, super attentive, super friendly. Great time, shall be coming back

Amazing food so tasty and great service by server Oscar got so many recommendations on the menu. And the manager Nathan was also so lovely. Great experience overall.

The food was amazing. I had pasta and Toffee Pudding dessert it was delicious and definitely worth it. Shoutout to the service here as well especially Nathan and Oskar they explained in detail and even offered to take pictures for us! Will come back again for sure.

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

Oskar and Nathan helped us to understand the food better and explained them patiently! His recommendations were great😋. Love love the toffee cake and strawberry mojito! Definitely recommend ❤️

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.

We had a lovely graduation meal here. Lily was very attentive, friendly and provided great service on a busy night!!

The food at the restaurant is excellent & the desserts have gotten even better recently….

We had a perfect evening at Ask Italian, food was great. 100% recommended😁

We had a lovely early supper on the way to the BIC.. the food was delicious, service excellent and a lovely atmosphere. All of the staff were so warm and friendly, and we were served by several , including Mahdi,

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.

The food was amazing,and the waiter was very kind and friendly

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

Served very quickly by Craig. Food was lovely and lots of choice on the menu

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!!!

Was very good service, although some food didn'tmatch the descriptions

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

Great food and very helpful and friendly service from Lily

Lilly was amazing super polite efficient and friendly great service all well

Lily was very pleasant when taking our order.

Lily did an amazing job. Exactly the right level of attention and service. Perfect!

Lilly was very friendly and polite even when food was sent back.

Amazing food and Nathan was very wonderful and professional! Would come here again!

Nathan W was the most attentive, friendliest and helpful server. Made our evening super easy and was really funny. Thank you 😊

We had a lovely meal so fresh and tasty , Arancini for starters, a chicken pasta and fish pasta for mains very tasty. All the staff were friendly helpful and approachable.

Amazing food and brilliant service from Craig :)

The food was amazing and we were particularly pleased with the service as well. Nathan was responsible for our table and he was great, smiling all the time, explaining everything in detail, taking pictures, being very kind!! The experience couldn't be better! Desserts were the best part!!

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.

Great food and service from Craig was excellent

Very friendly attentive staff, especially Craig 😉. Good food and feeling nicely full and content.

Was a very happy and lovely man who served us named Mehdi. I came to ask Italian for my sister's birthday and without prompting, was brought out a dessert with a candle in. Overall very happy with my visit.

Amazing food, great service, and the staff were ACTUALLY Italian. How cool is that?! Definitely coming back.

Had a lovely evening at Ask during our visit to Bournemouth. One of the staff remembered us from a visit in the summer. Staff are always so welcoming when we come to Bournemouth. Food is always good. Excellent atmosphere.

Had a wonderful time at ASK Italian, there was 26 of us. The food was superb and the staff lovely and couldn't do enough for us.

lovely food, great service, especially from Craig :)

Craig was amazing! We had a great time. It was our first tune eating here and can't complain about anything. Craig was very knowledgeable and the food was exquisite. We will definitely be back again!

What an excellent experience, particularly following the poor service at Miller and Carters, yesterday. The young lady who served us was perfect, nothing was too much trouble for her. The food was hot, with a short wait time and with the waitress being very attentive we never waited too long for additional extras. Great food great price but above all an excellent service.

I SPILLED WATER. ALso great job Lily - friendly, quick and helpful service, especially during the aforementioned water fiasco

We had great service by Lily she was very nice and attentive. Food was spot on.

Lilly was lovely, attentive and patient 😃

Lily was amazing patient efficient and she’s an asset to the business!

Love the place, best pizza you can get in Bournemouth. Service is amazing, served by Mehdi

Great service, great tasty food, lovely staff and nice atmosphere. Really good value for money too. Highly recommend.

First time eating in “ask Italian” our waitress Lily was very attentive and helpful with allergens. I had a gluten free pizza and was hands down the best gluten free pizza iv ever had. Would definitely recommend and return

Really good food and service by Mehdi and the rest of thr staff thank you for a lovely evening

What a magnificent waiter and very good food! we were very well received and very well served, the food was amazing. We did not miss anything the waiter checked us several times to know if everything was okay, his name was Mehdi I would like to thank him by this review.

We went for our first time today . The food was really good and our server Annabelle was wonderful

Had a lovely meal, was served by Mehdi who was really friendly and helpful. Thank you

Disappointing, not busy,staff slow to serve us, never offered us the usual lemoncello or asked us if we were enjoying our meal. We asked for the dessert menu and the sever brought us the bill then disappeared. Ended up paying by scanning QR code. Very minimal table service, took order and delivered the food nothing more and obviously was disinterested in us as customers. We returned to eat here because it was lovely the last time with good food , attentive and happy staff. What a difference. The staff just couldn’t be bothered.

They took care of the 11 of us turning up at 9pm food was great waitress was really good

Really good service and staff, Nathan is always lovely and friendly.

Absolutely love ask Italian, Nathan was extremely friendly and had great service.

We had good food and were served by Mehdi who was really welcoming and helpful

The food is very authentic and Mehdi did a great job.

We had a lovely lunch, food was quick and delicious. We were well looked after by Craig. We will be back soom

We visited Ask Italian Bournemouth a few Saturdays ago and enjoyed a delicious dinner and very kind attention from Kian. We will return for sure 😃

great. awesome waiter. was very quick service

The waiter is very nice, good customer service. The wait for food was little and worth the price.

Great service by Craig, felt welcomed the moment we walked through the door. Very attentive and we were served incredibly quickly. Tasty food

Very good place lovely staff quick service

I was treated very well by nice people. The pasta with beef brisket was full of flavour, and the chocolate gnocchi met my very high standards for chocolate puddings.

Lovely lunch and Craig our waiter was very helpful and friendly. He also helped when I had trouble with my voucher.

Good food and excellent service a lovely afternoon with friends who requested to come to this restaurant

The food took a while to come out and the pasta was cold and lacked flavour, however the customer service was alright which made the experience better but the food was just boring

Extremely disappointing experience. 25 mins to take the order, 20 mins for starters and no mains an hour later. Gave up on the hour. At least they apologised.

We sat, we ordered our starters and mains. The starters came, then we waited ages for our mains. My husband and daughters mains came but when I asked when one of the sides were she said that she forgot to tell us that they didn’t have any of that. I sat there for another 10 mins then the waitress came and asked if we had everything as she had admitted she had forgotten to order my main course. She did take it off the bill. And the food was nice. It took forever for the dishes to be collected once we had finished. She came and took them then wandered off for 20 mins until I caught her eye she came over to see what I wanted. I asked her for the dessert menus. Which she bought over and left in a pile at the side of the table. We chose and she eventually came back. My daughter went to order something and she said actually we don’t have any of that, my daughter changed her order and once again she said that they didn’t have any of it. At that point we just ordered my younger daughter’s desert from the kids menu and waited. Again we waited for another 10 mins when the waitress came and asked if we were ok. I reminded her that we were still just waiting for my daujlghtwrs dessert to which she looked at the serving bar and said oh yes it’s there I see it and wandered off. We watched her serve 2 other large tables before she wandered back and asked us if we were ok. I told her that 10 mins ago she jd gone to grab my daughters dessert which was sitting on the serving side and not returned she replied “oh yeah” and went again. This time she had finally bought the dessert. We paid using another waitress and left. The whole experience was awful and time consuming it cost us an extra hour in parking fees as well.

Arrived for 7:45 booking, 20-25 minutes later come to take order. 8:45 main meal has not arrived. Late for Cinema so no dinner for the evening. Such a disappointing experience. Truly disappointed.

Food came very fast in a matter of minutes despite it being a busy evening! Tasted so so good and Alberto our server was great

First time going to ask Italian and definitely will be going back! Beautiful designed restaurant and the staff are lovely can't fault a thing! Thank you so much for a lovely dinner! Would recommend and will be coming back!

First class service and great food!

I will give 1 star because of the waiter’s behaviour. For every single thing we had a wait , I was calling one girl who was showing me some other waiter to ask for help . And that person is like chatting with a family inside the restaurant for ages . And finally forcefully taking the tips . After adding the tips he was saying do you want to pay my husband is a polite gentle person he could not say no he paid the tips . We don’t mind to pay tips but the behaviour and service has to be minimum alright I am not asking for perfect also to see the waiter and their behaviour

Attentive staff lovely food nice environment Would highly a recommend a visit. Drinks at competitive prices even the cocktails

We visited here during a day out in Bournemouth. One of our children is coeliac which means she cannot eat anything containing gluten and her food cannot be cooked near gluten containing items. We mentioned this to the hostess as we entered the restaurant and she knew exactly what coeliac was and found the Allergen Menu for us. We decided that we felt confident in eating here and the staff were attentive to all our needs. Our daughters meal came out clearly labelled to avoid confusion and we all enjoyed our meal. The staff were great without being over the top and we would highly recommend the restaurant based on both food and service.

Great food and service. Would definitely recommend it.

Really friendly staff, nice atmosphere, great food, lovely evening, Thankyou,

We happened to walk by for our lunch, ate pizza and spaghetti. We would not come back. Quality of food for adults was ok‘ish, but the portion-size was small and the prize was too high. The tiramisu desert was good For kids, the breaded chicken did not taste well while the pasta was too small a portion

Food, service and location all very good. Good choice on menu Staff polite. Did not feel rushed.

Went there over for lunch Get great service from Lily, amazing food Definitely would come back

Great welcome, attentive service and quality food at a reasonable price point

Great service Georgia was really helpful and made the experience very enjoyable
