Ask Italian in York

I placed an ubereats order for the goats cheese and Spinach calzone, amongst other things. I am a lifelong vegetarian so was disgusted when I tried the calzone and saw it contained pepperoni. The store did apologise but informed me that there are no local protocols to ensure this doesn't happen to other people

Me and my partner have a meal here for every anniversary, a bit of a tradition. That’s all down to the staff, atmosphere and the great food! Not to mention the building is gorgeous!

Great restaurant - beautiful building!

Food was lovely and quick but never saw the same server twice and they forgot to bring our starters out. We were never offered more drinks. The staff we saw were all lovely polite and apologetic but unfortunately they just seemed to have a very busy shift.

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.

We left without eating due to the smell and the dirty table.

Great place, its architecture is beautiful. The tiramisu was incredible. Super friendly and attentive staff.

The restaurant is set in an older building, so it makes for an interesting, but delightful, atmosphere. The food was amazing as always, I had the mushroom & truffle calzone and my partner had the manzo piccante. We shared a brownie for pudding.

Spectacular atmosphere, friendly staff, especially Emily and Lumi. The food was amazing ☺️

Delicious food and friendly staff

Food was fantastic, service was very friendly. We would highly recommend! Also the gluten-free options were very good and well marked.

Had a lovely meal in the amazing surroundings of this Ask - very well looked after by the staff too

Amazing atmosphere with columns, chandeliers suspended from a towering ceiling. Very ornate. Excellent service. My dining companions enjoyed their dinner but I subtracted one star for my dry and chewy pollo Marsala.

I love this place for its unique Georgian building and decor, they even had Bridgerton soundtrack music in the background! Our three month old grandson spent the evening gazing in wonder at the chandeliers while the rest of us tucked into delicious food served by friendly staff. A lovely evening thank you.

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.

Just been here for mine and my partners anniversary. Anna was absolutely incredible! She was so attentive, fun, friendly and helpful. I can't thank her enough for an amazing evening. The food and the atmosphere was incredible too! Can't recommend enough!

Lovely historic restaurant. Quick service. A good varied for adults & the children

Such a grand place.chandeliers on ceiling.the best food I have tasted well worth a visit!

Excellent service, good quality food that arrived quickly and hot

We were greeted by a polite and helpful staff member who was very attentive during our stay at the restaurant. The food was excellent and came very quickly. We started with 'proper' olives (no brine). I had the Burratta and Pancetta Carbonara. It was delicious. My wife had the sea bass. She loved it. Even the side salad was well presented. I'd been told that the food was of a high standard by someone who is a chef. He should know. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and highly recommend it.

Amazing food, fantastic service and a cosy atmosphere! Special thank you for Lumi!

For a start, the restaurant is in a lovely, historic setting. From the moment we were greeted at the entrance, the staff were friendly, helpful and the service was excellent. The food was delicious, high quality, hot throughout and the experience great value.

Ask York is in a lovely building.always a p,easier to go there.

Four of us had a lovely meal in this fabulous building on a Saturday night. We were all delighted with our meals - pizza, pasta and chicken milanese were all delicious. Drinks were good too. Such a lovely spot for dinner and the staff were friendly and helpful too.

Lovely restaurant, friendly staff,very good meal.

Out for a birthday lunch excellent service and food. More than helpful explaining perks etc.

Ethel was so lovely and very accommodating!

Great food, great service, lovely seeing. Ambience spoiled by the rock music played in the background, not fitting for the venue.

LOVELY DESSERT BUT MAIN COURSE WAS WARM.

Staff really helpful and knowledgeable regarding allergies food delicious our server Ethel was super lovely and helpful

Amazing place with fantastic food. Plenty of choice for food and drinks. The food was delicious, there were 4 in our party and we all had different food, not one dish disappointed. The staff were lovely, very friendly and attentive. Excellent atmosphere.

A much better meal than we expected. At first it looked like there was no staff and lots of guests, always a recipe for disaster but that got better and the food coming out was a lot better than expected. Staff were friendly and prices good, all in a good meal with friends and family in an intriguing location.

Anne was very polite but fun to talk with

As always - we really enjoy our meals at Ask in york and All the staff are wonderful - Lumi is always friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble either - we are very happy with todays experience and will be back soon 😁

Really enjoyed our meal and our server Monika was really helpful and friendly.

Had a wonderful time having dinner at this establishment. Well looked after by a lovely waitress named Becca who was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely come again

Absolutely stunningly beautiful interior … a magical place for a meal and a highlight of our stay in York. Lara was a lovely server !

Great service by a lovely women called Rebecca. Very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed

We was disappointed with our visit last Sunday. We booked at 8.30pm to be told they close at 9pm I don’t think you should be allowed to book so late if it closes at 9pm. The food wasn’t up to standard we had to have our starter served with our main, the staff seemed really rushed and just wanted to close.

Great food and great service. Nothing was to much for our waitress Becca

During our meal we were looked after by Bekka who really took our experience to the next level. She was bright, bubbly; nothing was too much trouble and really made every effort to ensure our meal was enjoyable with timely service meaning food was hot and regularly checking in we were ok and or needed anything else without us feeling rushed. Thanks very much for looking after us!

Food was mint, our waitress Bekkah was super fun and nice. Would dine again! :)

Amazing building, lovely food, our server Bekkah very helpful and smiley

Server Beckah was very friendly, food was lovely, a gorgeous atmosphere for a catch up with the girls! 100% will be returning :)

Beckah was a great waitress — very friendly and helpful.

Went out for a meal earlier today and the food was incredible, our waiter Lara was very friendly and charming!

Lovely location and great service.

Great setting in the York assembly halls. The service and food were excellent.

Fantastic food and even better service by Lara!

Had a lovely meal, great service, our waitress Lara was very professional and attentive. Will definitely go back.

Nice food and drinks, and impeccable service from Rebecca! She made our evening so pleasant and was super friendly and accommodating. Really topped off our day out in York!

Great choice for a quiet, romantic date. Lara made sure our glasses were always full and the food was wonderful.

Incredible service from our waitress Lara! Decided to stop here for some lunch with my family on the spur of the moment and was not disappointed. Lara was so kind and helpful answering our questions and really made us feel welcome. Food… 10/10. Service… 10/10. And the building… wow! We will definitely be returning.

My experience at ask was amazing however it was most certainly topped off by the lovely waitress Lara! Lara was kind, helpful and amazing at her job, the whole family were exuberant! The food was excellent too!

Me and my family absolutely loved our experience here. Our server Rebecca was a superstar. She made sure all our dietary requirements were met and that our food was served promptly! We will be coming back! Thank you Rebecca for making our experience so special! 😊😊

Lovely service and great food. Our server Beckah was lovely.

First time eating here, fantastic venue, fantastic food and fantastic staff, Rebecca our waitress was really helpful, polite and friendly.

Beckah was exceptionally attentive.

Quick service with delicious food. Used our 20% off for the York Pass which made this a very reasonable meal out too.

Very good food and excellent customer service.

Would recommend Ask Italian if you’re looking for a cheaper alternative in York. The location is good after a day looking round all the sites. It’s housed in the assembly rooms so creates a nice atmosphere. The food is the usual standard for chain restaurants, well cooked and plenty of choice. The service was brilliant, from the lady on the door to the people that brought us our food. Despite being busy they were still very attentive and friendly.

I really like this ASK Italian, obviously its a chain Italian restaurant, you know what you're getting, its not going to be entirely authentic or blow your mind, but you want good service, tasty food and consistency. I think you get that here. I've been three or four times and I've always been really happy. I'd say, given the location, skip Pizza Express and go here.

Attentive staff and great tasting food

What a fantastic place to eat, really romantic inside staff was very friendly and the food was fantastic would definitely recommend this restaurant if your in york.

Nice place, pleasant atmosphere, quick service, live music on weekends

Great food staff are friendly kids always eat there food

Amy was super lovely throughout the evening, thank you very much for providing a perfect date night for us.

Magnificent and evocative building with good food and charming, helpful staff.

We let our son choose this restaurant as a treat for passing his GCSE's. Service was excellent, however the building was cold and so were the pizzas were also unfortunately. Not really worth the £50+ for 3 pizzas and 3 drinks.

The best pizza I have ever had in the UK 😍 10/10

Lovely food, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere

Wife and i go to ask italian in york 3-4 times a year and are always blown away with this stunning restaraunt.the food is always superb and the staff always friendly helpful and hard working.cant wait to go back again

Breathtaking, spectacular Italian food. The inside of this restaurant is picturesque, looks like it’s straight out of a Hollywood movie. The wait time can sometimes be a bit long, but nothing major. Overall recommend.

Beautiful building. Ethel was very helpful and is a credit to Ask.

Fantastic setting which oozes elegance. Lovely, friendly service. Yummy food. Would recommend.

Good Italian food in a beautiful venue

Highly recommend, amazing place.

Private dining for a special family occasion - the food was excellent, we were allocated a private room to enjoy our celebrations and allocated our own member of staff to support us with ordering etc. The whole experience was wonderful. Thank you!

Very pleasant lunch. The quality of food was great.

We had a very pleasant lunch in this very beautiful building that was the Assembly Rooms. The food was freshly prepared and was very good value. Service was prompt and helpful.

We went to Ask Italian today. The food was Ace, and the staff were cheerful.

Wonderful restaurant in a fantastic setting. Prompt food service from the point of order. Pleasant and attentive staff too

Polite, helpful, efficient, friendly service. Beautiful surroundings. Excellent food.

Lovely warm welcome. Beautiful venue. We are there celebrating a birthday and anniversary. Staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Food was excellent, as always. Fantastic dining experience and made memorable for all the right reasons. A must visit venue if you’re staying in York. Staff are a real credit.

Amazing venue, not sure it has a rival in York! The service was excellent as well as the food. Our server was helpful and knowledgeable.

More staff needed. The only person on reception was flat out dealing with customers at tables too. It took ages to get served. The App didn't work, but I'd prefer personal service rather than use an app to order. The music didn't fit with the surroundings. Also took ages to pay due to staff shortage and app not working.

Ask Italian hosted a Regency Ball in York, and it was amazing!

Anna was absolutely amazing!!! :-)

Beautiful place, food was good, though the constant stares of certain people while we were eating did not make it comfortable!

We took advantage of an online offer while visiting York and found it easy to book. Our waitress, Monika, was lovely and very efficient. Our chicken strips starter followed by pizza and lasagne were hot and tasty. It's a lovely venue and would highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely evening

Stunning building. Good service. Kids menu us great value.

Amazing location in York at The Assembly Rooms but service was slow. Guy who served our table was friendly and professional. Staff were all busy, so assuming just short staffed. Would return, if I visit York again. Had a free dessert by signing up to the email newsletter thanks.

The staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was delicious, and the restaurant is in a stunning assembly hall with chandeliers and marble pillars.

Lovely food and fantastic service a total recommendation

Beautiful Building! Food was less than average :/ A venue of this level deserves a much better chef. Shame that a restaurant so beautiful is serving such sad food.

Wonderful interior and location, nice staff

Good service and food was excellent

Friendly staff and quick service.

Excellent food, great service 👍

The restaurant itself was lovely, the food was great and arrived fast. And we had a really great waitress called Rebecca who told us about the unidays offers and we really appreciated her service yesterday
