I had a frustrating experience while picking up an order from this restaurant as a Deliveroo rider. The staff member, a larger man with tattoos, displayed anger issues and was unprofessional in his communication. I understand that it can be busy, but it's important for restaurant staff to treat delivery riders and customers with respect. I hope management addresses this to improve the experience for everyone involved."

An impressive building full of grandeur but not sure it has the right atmosphere for a romantic diner for two. We booked a table 18:45 on Saturday night but it was not necessary. Service was prompt and no issues but it all felt like a production line process. Food nice enough but not anything special.

Wonderful setting, very large area to cover. Pizza very tasty, pasta a little bland. Service was rushed and we felt like we were being watched as if they needed the table back. The server tried taking my coffee off the table and my daughter's tea when we hadn't finished. We opted for a mini desert and hot drink. To be honest I don't know how they. were not embarrassed to serve the wafer thin slice of tiramisu to us. I mentioned to the server and he said it was his first day. Overall was ok

Beautiful building, however the food wasn’t what we are used to when we go to an ASK Italian. We have visited other Ask Italian restaurants before and we always found the food tasty. This time, 2 of us ordered the King prawns tagliatelle and it was so spicy it was impossible to enjoy it. In my opinion, if it is supposed to be this spicy, it should be clearly mentioned in the menu. The staff were welcoming and very friendly. However, we didn’t receive a bill. Instead, the waiter stood by the table, holding a screen the size of a smart phone showing our bill for us to confirm, which saves paper, I understand, but doesn’t really give the customer a chance to review their spending with piece of mind. We paid in cash and we weren’t given any change or a receipt nor were we asked if we wanted any of these. Not very impressed this time.

I didn't understand what this chain has to do with Italian cuisine... everything is done (adopted) in the English style, such as the food, but also the way of serving the dishes. Then putting some kind of fast food restaurant in a historic environment... there's no logic.

I recently visited Ask Italian in York, and while the food was great, it was the outstanding service from Alicia that truly made the experience unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, Alicia greeted us with such warmth and enthusiasm, instantly making us feel welcomed and at ease. Throughout the meal, Alicia went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She was attentive without ever being intrusive, consistently checking in just the right amount to make sure we were happy with each dish. Not only was she knowledgeable about the menu, but she also gave us excellent recommendations tailored to our tastes. Alicia’s personal touch and genuine passion for customer service truly stood out. She made what could have been an ordinary meal into a memorable occasion, and her positive energy uplifted everyone around. It’s rare to find someone who cares so deeply about the customer experience, and Alicia is a real asset to Ask Italian. If you're dining in York, I highly recommend asking for her – she will absolutely make your visit exceptional!

Great atmosphere. Huge, columned eating areas. They were short staffed due to illness but they raced around as best they could but it did take a long time to get served. In one sense it wasn't the best service but in another sense, the staff deserved the biggest tip of our stay in York for the effort they put in. Never really impressed with Italian food and it was much like any Italian I've eaten.

We celebrated our wedding reception in the private dining room. Our server was great and extremely accommodating. The managers at ASK made organising our event so straightforward from remaining us with the set menu months before it's official release, providing a spreadsheet for pre orders and allowing us to attend the venue a couple of times to plan the room and set up the place settings the night before. Everyone enjoyed their selections from the set menu which had a great selection of starters mainsa and deserts to choose from. A couple of our guests had special dietary requirements and so they were also looked after very well. The whole day went smoothly which could not have been possible without Asks efforts. Thanks to the team for making it a special and memorable wedding reception. I would recommend this restaurant and private dining venue (which is breathtakingly beautiful) for your wedding or other family function.

The wow factor that you get from the Assembly Rooms setting makes a visit to ASK at York a little more special. Food was good, with some great choices. Servers were a even busier than usual, they seem increasingly stretched and stressed with each visit. Managers are great at firefighting and probably should be paid more.

My wife and myself went to our local restaurant on 13th March 2022 after many years of visits and found it as always beyond excellent! We started with a garlic bread pizza style; My wife had the chicken Cacciatoria which was brim full of the most tender chicken in a sauce that was to die for and with beautifully cooked vegetables. She was unable to finish her meal and at the Staff suggestion we had the remaining part of the dish boxed to take home. I ordered the 'normal' Chicken Kiev Calzone Pizza, it was huge!! the biggest I have ever had, and we have travelled a bit; the pastry casing was beautifully made and the filling heaven. I tried my best but could not eat it all...so again brought back home to eat tomorrow. The service was attentive and professional, and we noticed that they made special fuss of the children on the next table. The only sad, nay disastrous news, is that they are closing as the owner is subject to advancing years; they close after Easter this year...great sadness! we will miss it.

After a few visits now, i wanted to review what i have decided is my favourite Italian restaurant in York. The last visit I had here was on Sunday. It was a quiet and calm atmosphere. I'd definitely book for a busier night, such as Saturday. The staff are very friendly and happy to chat and recommend things. It cost just under £60 for 2 of us. We had a starter to share, a main each, a dessert to share, and a couple of alcoholic drinks. For York city centre, this is about the average price. Portion sizes were great. The food tasted absolutely delicious. The calamari rings were the right amount of softness, with a beautiful crispy batter. However, a couple still had the stringy outer bit. This wasn't an issue for us and was still by far the nicest calamari we have been served in a while, but worth noting to set expectations. I had the Tagliatelle pollo e tartufo which tasted really good. Just the right amount of creaminess, and not watery. The overall experience is well worth the cost. I would definitely recommend this Italian restaurant to anyone visiting York.
